Forum:Rich text editor won't stop bugging me

Every time I go to edit an article, it grays out the screen and tells me about the new Rich Text Editor, and pops up a couple of boxes telling me about the categories toolbar and the edit bar. And even though I tell it never to bother me again, these boxes persist in popping up every time I make an edit.

How do I make it stop? -RandomEngy 01:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Which wiki, browser, OS? I think it might be a cookie problem. 10:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Firefox 3.5 RC2, Windows 7 RC. I don't have cookies turned off or anything. -RandomEngy 14:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * While logged in, too? 16:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, while logged in. -RandomEngy 00:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

We've updated this bit of the RTE code -- can you please tell me if you are still seeing this problem, RandomEngy (or anyone else)? — Catherine (talk) 15:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Still happening to me. -RandomEngy 01:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Happens to me too, on Firefox 3.0.10 and Arch Linux.-- IrCuBiC 18:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Still happening to me as well. --Matt` 01:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Same here, Firefox 3.0.11, although I have script-blocking turned on (not blocking wikia.com though) Headrock 22:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * This is very odd - we've not been able to reproduce this (but we realise it's very annoying!). Those reporting it, we need to know whether you're running any addons that could interfere with cookies or preference setting. It sounds like you're all on Firefox? 14:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I disabled all my extensions and tried it, and the preference stuck this time. Extensions are Adblock Plus, Delicious Bookmarks, Download Statusbar, DownloadHelper, Gmail Notifier, Google Toolbar for Firefox, Greasemonkey, HttpFox, IE View Lite, JavaScript Debugger, LastPass, Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant, Rehost Image, SQLite Manager, Tab Mix Plus and Twitterfox. Though the small yellow boxes are still around. -RandomEngy 21:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. Small yellow boxes being the category toolbar popup? 14:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes. And the Edit toolbar popup. -RandomEngy 15:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The small yellow boxes keep appearing for me as well. For me, I'm running Firefox 3.5.1 and the extensions I have: Adblock Plus, Better Gmail 2, Download Statusbar, foxyURL, Greasemonkey, IE Tab, Jap-Eng Dictionary for rikaichan, PDF Download, Power Twitter, Rikaichan, SkipScreen, and StumbleUpon


 * And you're able to click to dismiss them? We had another issue where the close button wasn't appearing on those boxes, so I want to make sure if this is the same issue, or the one mentioned above. 15:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, the close button is appearing (for me at least), just keeps popping up every time I edit. Running Firefox 3.0.12, no extensions. Luna diviner 02:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, glad we've got the icon back. Now for it popping up every time you edit. I'll bring it up with the techs again. 13:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Popups keeps reappearing!
In order to track down the yellow popups issue, we need a bit of help: if there are any experienced users of Firebug (an extension for Firefox), it would be very useful to see the console output for when those popups are clicked. Thanks!
