'This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave" - how do I stop this?

[SpottySocks]

Hi guys,

Yesterday my forum started acting weird. Whenever someone goes to use Quick Reply, they click 'Post Reply' and presented with this window:



If they click 'Leave Page', it posts the reply to the thread without a problem. If they click 'Stay on Page', it doesn't get posted.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how to stop it?
Thanks.

Should only come up if the page they're on is going to be refreshed/reloaded, which shouldn't occur during Quick Reply. Trying creating a new style with no parent and see if the same behavior occurs on the default style.

SpottySocks, did you get this figured out or is it still happening/ Got the same thing and its doing it in custom style and default style.

What kind of mods do you have installed that would affect the Quick Reply or inline editing area?

I had one installed - Marco's Advanced editor/quick reply - that I thought may have been the reason the popups started but it was installed months ago. Completely uninstalled and removed it but this did not stop the leave page messages.

I found a temp solution to stop the leave page message in jira by doing this:

edit clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js file
change it this:
{YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window,"beforeunload ",this.exit_prompt,this,true)} to:
{YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window,"beforeunload ",this.exit_prompt,this,false) }
