[Sorry to go OT here...]
Don't know what to tell you Patrick. No one else that I know of is reporting the same problem(s) you're having. Since the glitches seem to be intermittent that makes it even more difficult to track down. Does it happen with every browser or just Chrome?
Yes Charlie, with the problem so intermittent it really is hard to pin down the cause or reason.
I did try both Safari and Firefox when I had the problem a week or so ago, and they acted the same way. Regardless of whether my reply is new, re-trying posting or using the auto-save and/or copy and paste from the auto-save, when posting, the animated Circle just spins a short bit and then the window just closes and I end back in the list of forum subjects page and the post I just attempted to post does not show up, so I have to try all over again.
As you probably noticed, when that problem happens, I have also tried doing a
test post and using the same thread and post area, and it usually seems to work okay.
I was suspicious that maybe some of such non-posting posts we're using some "
naughty" or
blacklisted words, but I couldn't find anything that looked suspicious, so I tried splitting the post that wouldn't post in half and sending each half separately. That worked, and for each half, but the last time I tried doing that both halves ended up in the same post for some reason or other. I don't care about that and I was relieved it finally got posted.
It was also during a previous attempt to post I got this message which I took a screenshot of, and maybe you can make some sense out of it:
All very strange and as I said previously, I have never had any such similar problem at any other Forum site.
Sometimes I have found when the problem exhibits itself, that if I just leave everything alone, at least as far as attempting any posts go, for at least half an hour to an hour, things and posting will very often work as it should.
If you or anyone can think of what the possible reason could be for the problem or what I might be doing wrong, please let me know.
When it does happen, it seems that the mac-forums server has forgotten that I am connected and typing a reply yet everything seems to work okay, up until the time I go to post, then drop the connection to that window and close it. But the other windows thankfully stay open and working.
Let me know if you need any other information and my apologies for side-tracking this thread here.
- Patrick
