Hi,

we had to rebuild our server OS, so I did a "Make forum datadump", rebuilt OS, then reinstalled a fresh Fud and did a "Import forum data". Now, everything JavaScript enabled like the buttons and drop downs above the post text area are broken, spoiler tags don't work anymore, and one Administrative user complains that she can't open threads except by some rube goldburg work around that she's figured out (I'm not experiencing this error personally, but I am the JavaScript errors I am).

I enabled my FireFox error console and here are some examples:

Error: insertTag is not defined
Source File: javascript: insertTag(document.post_form.msg_body, '[B]', '[/B]');
Line: 1

Error: insertTag is not defined
Source File: javascript: insertTag(document.post_form.msg_body, '[I]', '[/I]');
Line: 1

Error: insertTag is not defined

Line: 1

Error: layerVis is not defined
Source File: http://forums.com/index.php?t=post
Line: 1

...etc..

I was wondering if anyone was experiencing this as well, and if there was a solution. Also, is it possible to "upgrade" to the same version and whether this might fix the problem?

Please advise.

Have you tried re-running an upgrade script to version 2.7.7? Even if you are already running 2.7.7, it will rebuild and if necessary fix broken files.
