Hi, Is anyone else (>3000 rep) now suddenly unable to edit questions/answers?
I was able to do it earlier today, but now the "Save edits" button stays grey, can't be clicked, and the "tags" are not correctly recognised (which is probably why "Save edits" remains grey, as there needs to be at least one recognised tag).
I've logged out then logged in again, no change...
I've now clarified that only the editing of questions is affected, since only questions have tags. Something has changed with the website code (since we now have highlights (from CSS?) around text boxes). I suspect the problem with editing questions has started at the same time as this change to the site's code.
@PlasmaHH - Thanks. I've just done a close & re-open of the browser (IE11 on Win 7 - it's required for other purposes). No difference - when trying to edit a question, all the tags show as unrecognised (no box around the words) and so the Save edits button remains grey and unclickable.
Next step will be to try another browser - which one are you using, please?
Thanks - that's a potential problem for unrelated reasons, but it's good to know one which works.
Yeah, yeah, I know, but I deal with some sites where specific actions have *other* problems with other browsers, and so IE was the least bad option. What a surprise, huh?!
Clearing all temporary / cached IE files has also made no difference.
At least if anyone else has problems editing questions and looks here in chat, they'll know that they're not alone. It does seem to coincide with the change to the site, introducing a "glow" around the text box which has the focus.
Thanks again, I'll leave the chat and go and work on this. Cheers!
well, arent lattice networks based on electrical waves? those propagate through transmission lines, or similar things?

I'm not sure how they're based on electrical waves. Only the relation to two-port networks is obvious i.e. a lattice network can be treated as a two-port network.
@PlasmaHH - Hi again, Yes understood that the earlier discussion will scroll off the top of the page soon. Thanks for the info about Chrome.
For anyone else who is impacted, the bug affecting IE11 has been reported on Meta.Stackexchange: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/312875/unable-to-ask-new-questions-or-edit-questions-from-internet-explorer-11 and https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/371290/tags-arent-working-correctly-when-writing-or-editing-a-question
One of my favorite electrical quotes goes something like "all sensors are temperature sensors, but some are better than others". Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read this. What is the origin of the quote?
