Noscript & pg/forum

So after choosing to allow 'Anandtech' I cannot reply or make a new thread unless I 'temporarily allow page'

Is there a setting I can change or something i have to configure to make posting replies, and or making new threads simpler?

Thanks.
 
I allow yimg.com and yahooapis.com

Edit:
I just blocked yimg.com, and it appears things are still working.

Edit2:
I've been playing with RequestPolicy, and noticed it's blocking yahooapis.com. I don't know why I had the them allowed before. This stuff's getting out of control trying to figure out what to block. I'm still trialing RequestPolicy, but it doubles the work of NoScript. Not sure if I'll keep it, but I've already seen on another forum where it prevented an xss attack for someone. Might be worth the work :^/

I'm blocking yahooapis, and I CAN make a reply :^D

I allowed it before for some reason, so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm on Iceweasel(debranded Firefox) 23, so maybe something changed internally? Doesn't really make sense tbh. I guess I'll just see what happens...
 
Test to see if it works after restarting the browser...

Edit:
So I have AT whitelisted, and everything else blocked, and it appears to work fine.

Seems I have to have yahooapis allowed with FF to make a post.

EDIT: Fire Fox 21.0 with NoScript

EDIT2: with Request Policy enabled also, it says yahooapis is Forbidden, "Forbid all requests from anandtech.com" :hmm: that makes no sense.

EDIT3: I must of allowed all requests from anandtech.com. Now when they are in the red, I can't post. They were all in the green. Seems to be something in Fire Fox that needs yahoo to post.. but from what you say about the reporting, nothing comes to mind :hmm:

I don't know. I don't why a browser would affect external api calls. Maybe something's wrong with my setup. If AT requires external data to work, then blocking it should break the forums, but I have it blocked, and it's still working :^/

Edit:
For kicks I cleared my cache. I thought that may have obviated my need for the apis, but it still works.
