I can't "go advanced" anymore. Sigh....

woad_yurt · November 10, 2011, 09:46 AM

I have tried to put "sold" in the title of a thread in the "Buy, Sell and Trade" section but, when I click on the "Go Advanced" button, nothing happens. I can use the regular edit function, though. I used to be able to "go advanced" but no more. I still have the same pc and the same browser (Internet Explorer 7.0) now as I did back when I could go advanced.

Is there any tech-savvy person here who can tell me why and, hopefully, how to fix this?

Thank you!

Since it's the same problem as you're having at THR, we'll work on it there where I've posted a few questions for you.

Easy.

You're not Going Advanced, you're Going in Reverse.

Next week you'll need a typewriter to access TFL, and by the end of the year you'll need a Gutenberg printing press.

Say what, I just sold my printing press am I going to be phased out of TFL?

~~I should note that the "Quick Response" function has not been available on TFL for years. The question should not have even been asked here, as it was for a function of another site.~~
