I posted this problem last month(20th) and still have it.I cannot use the SUBMIT button when I try to post a question or an answer.I am using IE 10.This problem applies to both our desktop and laptop.Ab Editor suggested I clicked on torn piece of paper(compatability setting)but I can't find it on the tool bar at all.I found compatability setting in TOOLS but all it does is show which programmes are on it and can be added or taken off!The submit button is not highlighted.Just a grey colour.I do miss using this site.Please help with a solution.Am not very au fait with IT.Had to ask he computer how to find out what IE I was using so please try to keep any helpful suggestions simple.In case your wondering I am submitting this on a friend's netbook.

Make sure cursor is flashing within the text box (just click in the text box) and that will highlight the submit button, that's the issue I have come across on here.

Thank you RATTER15.I hope it is as simple as that and does the trick.Will try it on desktop computer now and come back to you with a result
I have a similar problem when submitting Youtube videos in that I can't submit until I have actually typed something in the text box.
Windows 7
Firefox 21.0
Not a massive problem I know but it's only recent.

No RATTER15.Sadly that didn't work for me.The cursor was flashing in text box but SUBMIT button didn't highlight.Thank you for your suggestion.
It's possible that JavaScript is disabled in Internet Explorer (although I can't think why it should have happened). The instructions for enabling it are here:

However it would seem simpler to switch to a decent web browser. Most of the 'regulars', here in AB's Technology section, use Firefox. It's really easy to install and use:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
(Click the left-hand arrow, alongside 'English (British)' to download it, then double-click on the downloaded file to install it).
This issue happened to me on AB . I am using IE10 and found that the security settings had been changed by accident .I restored the default settings in security and all is well. I would uninstall IE10 and reinstall it just in case it was corrupted during download.
I have the same issue at work. It's since I had a new PC so it must be a setting somewhere. I use IE at work and at home so I don't post from work anymore which isn't a bad thing! Unless I switch to Firefox which is usual too much of a faff.

It does work in Firefox so as Chris says, download that from his link and use it instead of IE. You will be fine with it although you'll feel a bit unfamiliar. But if you have lots of favourites and are use to IE then just use FF for coming on here.
