Description Shawn Goldwater 2009-02-17 01:56:24 UTC 
At first, the problem seemed to only happen when I tried to edit Wikipedia from work using the "incognito" mode in Google Chrome. But this evening when I returned home and logged on to my account via Safari, the same problem has occurred. There's just no functionality at all in Edit mode. Even when I enter text and click save, nothing changes in the text.

Interestingly, when I click on Edit on pages I had previously edited before, the text appears momentarily, then vanishes.

It seems as if using the incognito Chrome function at work screwed something up? But why would that affect a different computer, at home?

My Wikipedia user name is: Shawn in Montreal.

I hope I am in the right place, and that you can help me.

Thanks

Sounds like some javascript is stuffing things up, but I can't find any scripts set up for your account. It could, perhaps, be a gadget you have enabled. Try disabling all of that and see if the error resolves itself.
