Upload boxes for date and locations are not functioning today

Jens Boldt:
Maybe this helps to isolate the problem:
No problems with Safari on OSX 10.8.4

Cheers,
Jens

Kelvin Davies:
While it is interesting and probably informative reading about how others have no problems using different browsers, this may (only 'may'!) be irrelevant.
I bet the drop down boxes are functions of Java script.
In fact, I think I just confirmed that; I can see a script named "datepicker.js".
So, it is possible that Java needs updating (updates were published recently for java).
Just a thought!

Kelvin,
Java script and Java are two entirely different things with only the name in common. While Java scrpt is merely a scripting language Java is a full blown programming language.

Ad blocking software has a tendancy to want to turn the use of Java script off to prevent adsfrom showing up. Make sure Java script is turned on in your browser. Other protective software can also turn Java script off without you knowing it.

Trying to upload a ship sighting but all morning into the afternoon the boxes for location and date refused to open their drop-down menus and consequently new photos can not be uploaded.

Any idea how long this problem will continue?

I have only had a few problems with my last photos added to shipspotting, I thought it was just a small technical issue so added the location and date in the description box then checked the box below location and date, then the next day edited the information.

I don't understand how you can't upload photos if you can't open the drop down boxes ....... Maybe do as I did ? It's not convenient I know but as you know Ken is on the case and will endeavour to do his best as always.

Kind Regards, Dan.

Lars,
You are right and I realised my error soon after posting!
Still, I would be looking at how Oldkayaker's browser is dealing with JS. I sometimes have to tweak mine; I use Firefox with NoScript and often will need to allow java script, usually temporarily only.
