That’s what happens for me when I try and click “Reply on original topic”. It doesn’t, and the modal just pops back up again.

Did you try on [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) ?
I tried to reproduce your issue on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) but didn’t succeed.

Hello,
I can repro it if I install [Topic Ratings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-ratings-plugin/39578) plugin on my test site. As I see on the plugin topic you use this plugin too. No error in console.. there is only the pluginID warning.
Discourse version: [0760b249ff](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/0760b249ffe39a9ff57b7e36b6304e63a5082d7e)
Discourse Ratings is also on the latest.

I suggest to disable the plugin (its enough in admin) and make a report on the plugin topic. 🙂

I made another reply on that topic (it’s the second issue with that plugin this week, and it’s out of it’s “support period” so I have to wait a few weeks).
I have no problem disabling it for now, thanks 🙂

I’m actually working on a [PR](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings/pull/50) in my spare time to solve several issues and deprecations. So on this occasion the resolution might be sooner ;).
If someone wants to test that branch and confirm the issue is not there, I’d be grateful. (I just tested it in dev and could not repro it)

Sure, I am here for testing. 🙂 Could you point me how can I target that branch in app.yml? Thank you!

Thanks @Don, very much appreciated!
Something like: `git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings -b compatibility_fixes`
There is always a slight risk prod behaves differently to dev of course …

Ok I rebuild and tested. It was strange, when I first time I tried it worked but then the same issue happened every time i try. If that helps I can send you the test site with admin access in pm. 🙂

No issues. I’ll try it out on one of my prod instances. Thanks for confirming.

OK repro’d in dev. The video was very helpful, thanks @darkpixlz

OK this should be fixed on the test branch, `compatibility_fixes`. If anyone has chance to test and confirm that would be great!
