Can't EDIT my profile (but I can see it)

I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.2 and Safari 1.3.2 Mac OS X (10.3.9), and when I hit the "Edit Profile" button on my profile page, the green form loads just fine--but there's no way to save any info. All there is at the bottom of the form is a nondescript text-entry box and a "Cancel" button.

Has anyone already figured out a workaround for this one?

The page doesn't load properly for me either, but at least there IS an orange "Save It" button at the bottom of mine.

Here's a screenshot of what I see:

This is what mine looks like:

Your's let's you enter more info, but mine's got the SAVE button just to the left of the CANCEL button.

I dunno about more info... it looks like yours just "disappears" under your Free Deliveries (rather than moving the FD content down).

Try entering a little information. Then click on an area ouside the entry box (to reset the cursor) and then hit the 'Enter' button on your keyboard.

If that works, then go back and enter all you want and do the same.

Nope, it didn't work. I took a look under the hood, and it looks like the script that houses this profile-editing form cuts off before it's done loading:

<img src="/images/btn-cancel-green.gif?1173393141" alt="Btn-cancel-green"> <input class="submit" src="/images/btn-saveit"></form>

That last input really ought to have more to its src attribute. If I add the last bit from the Cancel button (to make it http://www.iconbuffet.com/images/btn-saveit-green.gif?1173393141) I see the button that *ought* to load there. So again, it seems the script times out or something before my browser gets the whole thing. Which is pretty weird...

Shoot - worked when I tried it.

Guess the page is loading enough for me then.

I hate to suggest switching browsers, but would that be an option for you?

I can check it on XP/IE7 tonight... but I've also tried the site with IE 5.2 and Opera 9, and it's even MORE broken in them. =/

One more thing, and I'm just graping at straws here... have you tried a Ctrl+F5 to see if the page will load more fully?

graSping :P

Okay, it works on XP/IE7. Crisis averted... for now. ;)

I can't imagine how that's happening, travis. We all use Firefox 2 and Safari here and have never encountered this. We'll look into it.

travisseitler on Mar 14, 2007

Thanks for checking things out! The save button's showing up just fine now. :)

I used it yesterday and it worked just fine using Firefox 1.5x and Mac OS 1.4x
