Hi, please provide a link to a page on your wiki where this happens when you press edit. Also, which web browser are you using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.) ?
Hi and thank you very much for your reply.
This happens on ANY page on any wikia, particularly I am interested in John Peel Wiki.
I am using Internet Explorer - 8.

Hmmm that's odd. I went to your wiki on Internet Explorer 8 and opened the editor on a couple pages:
I didn't notice any problems. It did say "loading editor" for a couple seconds but it didn't stop progressing. The editor loaded just fine.
I also checked to see if maybe you have some custom script in w:c:peel:MediaWiki:Wikia.js or w:c:peel:MediaWiki:Common.js in the sidewide JavaScript that was causing any problems, but there's nothing there. Looks like this must be some kind of bug on Wikia's end or possibly a problem with your computer or internet connection (though if you're not having problems with any other websites, I'll assume it's a Wikia bug)
If it keeps happening, I'd recommend filing a bug report here: Special:Contact/bug. That way a Wikia staff member can look into it and see if they can help you.
As an alternative suggestion, I'd recommend installing another web browser on your computer like Firefox or Google Chrome and see if you can edit that way? Internet Explorer 8 is a few years old and is an outdated web browser, getting a newer one may help. (It's still on Wikia's supported browser list though, so it should work)
I know, but I am used to IE-8, anyway I will try your suggestions. I think it may be Java-related, but I am an amateur in these isues.
Thanks again.
