Upgraded to 38 a weird problem while replying any thread

[HLFadmin]

Spinner appears briefly when editing a post with Quick Edit. Full Edit does not since the entire page is refreshed.
I have not dug into the code to see where it is called, but it appears between clicking Save Changes and the post refresh.
Perhaps between database update and commit then query to refresh.
Quick glance shows no difference in grep output between 1.8.37 and 1.8.38

~/Downloads/mybb_1838/Upload$ grep -r "spinner.gif"
jscripts/select2/select2.css:    background: #fff url('select2-spinner.gif') no-repeat 100%;
jscripts/select2/select2.css:    background: url('select2-spinner.gif') no-repeat 100%, -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0.85, #fff), color-stop(0.99, #eee));

A little deeper with grep -r "spinner" shows use of prefixes before spinner, indicates where you are likely to see it invoked.

@CrazyCat as far as I know the Quickreply has this spinner

I just remember I had this problem a year ago

@vk_knight do you use MyReactions-Plugin?
then take a look here: https://community.mybb.com/thread-203037...pid1255528
otherwise follow CrazyCat's advice

I am using MyAlerts Plugin. Does that help?

Ok , I will follow @crazycats advice and try disabling the plugins.

[Crazycat]

And give us the url so we can check.

I still wonder why the update from 1.8.37 to 38 should give such a problem

Well, I tested it, it's a little bit slow but works as expected
