Unable to type in posting window in Microchip forum

For several hours I have been unable to type in a Quick Reply windows or New Topic window in the Microchip forum. I have tried three different browsers, and logging out and back in. But I see from the New Postings that others are succeeding. When I click on Quote, absolutely nothing happens. When I click on the up-caret next to Quote, I get the menu for Popup Style and Reply. Both of these menu items bring up a new reply window, but in neither case can I put my cursor in the reply window and start typing. I can type in the Subject field, but not in window for the body of the posting. Any idea why I am unable to do this while others are succeeding?

Because Microchip has screwed up again.
We all see the same problem.
If you are desperate to post then switch to the Mobile theme from the menu up on the right hand corner.
Then the display changes and there is now a box to type posting text into.

Thanks. That worked great.

I'm withdrawing my labour (i.e. going on strike) on the Microchip forum until they let me post "normally".
