So, I can post a new discussion…no problem. And edit a new post…like I’m doing with this one!
But when I reply, here is what I have to do. I type my reply…and can’t send it…at all. The little orange box looks like a shadow. I can’t save it as a draft either. So I patiently wait…and it gets saved automatically as a draft…well not all of what I’ve written, just part.
Then I go into the draft, and voila, the little orange box is there. I complete my post and send.
But wait…it still is not appearing immediately as a post.
So…I refresh and go, and sure enough it’s there. But if I want to edit, I can’t get that function to work. I hit the little wheel, and the post just doesn’t load. So…I go through the whole song and dance again to add info. Can’t change typos.
In addition, there are a number of theads I’ve posted on since this all started. I don’t have a green check indicating I’ve posted on any of them.
I’ve had the same problem with the “post comment” button being inoperable. I’m on an iPhone. I’m not sure if it’s happened with the safari browser version but it’s definitely happened with the app. And it’s not because I have too few characters in my post.
@thumper1, @dyiu13, @choirsandstages, I’m sorry to hear you are still experiencing issues. I’ve asked the tech team to look into this. I think it might be something iPhone/iPad related. However, I’ve tested both on my Mac and my iPhone and it worked fine. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I hear anything.
Well yes it works fine most of the time. I have been having wifi connectivity issues at home, so perhaps it’s related to that. The “Post comment” button definitely changes to a lighter color of orange, which I equate to the button being “greyed out.” Oh, I just saw it happen again while I was typing just now. It just did it momentarily and went back to the darker color. If it is related to connectivity, I am surprised that it so sophisticated to be able to detect that and change color, but I guess anything is possible.
ETA: this time I was using Safari on my iPhone 5 w the latest IOS update
Thanks for the details, @choirsandstages. For those who are still experiencing the issue, can you please delete your browser cache or simply browse in a private/incognito window?
@thumper1 On safari, if you click the button to open a new tab (button right corner), instead of clicking the plus button, click “private” which is to the left.
I’ve been having the same problem with the app on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2 (I know, old OS). Can’t post, it gets “greyed” out and saved as a draft. Have to use my laptop to actually post it.
Ok. Clicked on the safari icon …there is no “private” button I can see. To open a new tab…I just click on one of the items I have saved. No new tab button…no private one.
@thumper1 look for the pages button when you have safari open. It looks like two overlapping squares. From there (once you click it), you’ll see “private”
I think the only point of posting in private mode is to “clear the browser cache” without having to actually clear it. So if the cache is not the source of the problem, it won’t necessarily fix it.
