Members RA1 Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I still have periodic problems posting in a thread. I write a post and then try to "enter" it and I see the green left to right "flags" marching but they never end and I end up having to go to another part of the site and select something such as "forums" to stop it. Then I have to re-enter the post. I have somewhat ameliorated this by "saving" early on and then "editing" the post but, even that does not always work. A very real nuisance.

TotallyOz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Do you use the "light switch" at the top left of the edit box? Can you switch it to see if a difference? I had this happening a few weeks back but not once at all lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It changes it from simple text to rich text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EXPAT Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've heard many people complaining about this issue. But I have never experienced it. I wonder if has to do with broadband bandwidth from your internet provider by chance? And by the way my "switch" is set to off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 It happened again when trying to respond to this thread. I think is usually happens when there are numerous on site or even on the thread in question. Much of the time I can get past this issue by posting a few words and then editing the remainder of the post, but not always. At least using this method I only lose a few words before having to "start over". Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Still not taking the post most of the time. It goes into a "saving post" mode with flashing green bars across the top but never leaves that mode. I have almost developed a full habit of posting after one word and then editing for the full post. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 RA1, I have been in touch with the people that make the forum. I can't do much as they can't see it either. But, if you know how to do a screen capture video and send that to me, I'll get it to them so they can see exactly what they are talking about. Again, I am so sorry this is a pain in the ass for you!

Members RA1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2013 I appreciate the effort. When I remember, most of the time, to post after only a few words and then edit, it almost always works. However, in the heat of a post sometimes I neglect to post first and then edit. Thanks.
