Cant Edit My Computers or Projects

Cant Edit My Computers or Projects

The projects and Computers tabs aren't accessible, and I can't edit under my Computers etither.

(I am not entirely sure if I am running grid republic locally - it failed on install, after I put on the latest BOINC.......but it does let me "Synchronize with Grid Republic under Tools, and says it was successful...)

OK - updated:

I saw I couldn't log out of the GR website, either.

So logged on using IE, instead of Firefox and presto - problem solved.

Now I can get ot the computer, projects tabs, and the logout option has reappeared too.

Seems to tbe FFox issue - I am on version 3.6.3 BTW

I wonder -- have you installed any Firefox Add-Ons?  (If so, which?)

'Fraid so.  I've marked the ones I've had on for ages, and therefore less likely to be the issue as it was all working before:

Acronis antiphishing

AddThis (old)

AIRoboform (old)

AVGSafe Search

Google TOolbar (old)

 IETab (old)

 Various Java (old)

 Leechblock

Skype

TED

Thinkvantage Toolbar Manager

Vacuumplaces

Xmarks

BTW - IETab seems to work - I can edit "Computers" under FFox if I use this

Quentin, can you try Firefox in "safe mode," I believe it's called? Should be an option right under Firefox in your Start menu / program list.

If the page works with add ons disabled, at least we'll know that is the cause (or that it isn't if the page still doesn't work).

Treid it in safe mode - it works.  So prob an add-on, as you say.

I'd guess one of the security type add ons is the cause. Unfortunately, I can only suggest disabling them and enabling them again one at a time to determine which one it is, then perhaps there is some sort of configuration or override in the add on that can allow GridRepublic to work as expected.

The add on is probably unhappy that there are form elements "hidden" in different tabs--since they are not rendered immediately when the page loads, they must exist  solely for the forces of evil. Hopefully there is a remedy in the add on itself.

Very good!  I suspect Acronis - recently installed when I put backup software on (I don't even want this anti-phising thing, I have other security).

Meanwhile - if I load GR with IETab as default all is OK, so that's what I'll do.

Thanks for your quick and comprehensive help!
