Why are we still having trouble posting messages? Preview, or Post message, just greys out and nothing happens

I've been unable to post either on my iPad or on the lap top. Very frustrating.

Iam64 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:48:22

Ok, so that one posted - why not the others I've failed to post?

I too have had trouble posting but found that if I copied the post - pressed the 'last hour' button so the page refreshed - I then paste the message and immediately press the post button and it works!!! Most odd.

I tried to post last night from my mobile & it wouldn't work.

janeainsworth Wed 02-Nov-16 08:01:20

And just now. Why can I post on this thread and not the difficult neighbour one?

Anya Wed 02-Nov-16 08:06:00

I think it's just random. Sometimes on thing works but then not the next time. I've tried to post on several threads and I'm giving up now.

Get it sorted HQ.

Having the same problem with posts greying out. This morning also struggling to edit a post after previewing it. The cursor isn't showing. So guessing where it is (iPad) , frustrating. Gremlins somewhere.

Same here...don't often get time to compose a post as I am a lark and usually up and outside at first opportunity...not so now with dark early mornings. Grrrr !!!!. Contributed to a few posts yesterday and none would go. Thought I had been sent to Coventry
See how this one goes.

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 02-Nov-16 08:49:25

Nope it wouldn't go so tried your way Welshwife and voila! Don't know how you worked that out though. Well done. Now to try this one.

Welshwife Wed 02-Nov-16 09:22:04

I wondered if it was some sort of time lag problem - by the time you finish posting it has sort of timed out - mind you sometimes it takes ages to be able to select and copy

I have had trouble posting for days on I pad. I have to keep turning it off and on again prior to posting. ?? ??? in system!!

Iam64 Wed 02-Nov-16 19:12:42

I contacted GNHQ who said they're looking into it. Frustrating isn't it.

BlueBelle Wed 02-Nov-16 19:20:45

I ve had no problems so it can't be the site can it ?

Iam64 Wed 02-Nov-16 19:40:34

I've just tried, and failed to post on a number of threads. I wrote three brief comments (two short paragraphs) on the GBT thread but none would post and were then lost.
I posted one word or one sentence and they did post - mystery isn't it.

Just a quick update: the issue has yet to be solved <wail> BUT tech have spoken to us to ask a small favour of you...

When you go to post on a thread, could you please right click, click 'Inspect', then 'Console', and then copy and paste the (error) message you receive there.

This is so the team can try to replicate the issue.

Thank you and sorry for this ongoing battle.

In my case it seems to be related to which device I'm on.

cornergran Fri 04-Nov-16 10:26:40

I have most problem with an iPad. Not sure how I right click. blush. Sorry, my user name should have been dinosaur.

Anya Fri 04-Nov-16 10:29:28

But not using a mouse so can't - will leave that to others. Tried using my pinky instead of my forefinger to right click but that didn't work grin

Anya Fri 04-Nov-16 10:32:54

cornergran I'm having trouble with posting in iPad too. Don't think we have a right click with fingers. As I wrote above tried using different fingers but to no avail.

Can I join your Dinosaur Club please?

hulahoop Fri 04-Nov-16 10:55:10

I am on iPad as well so cant. RT click ?

Swanny Fri 04-Nov-16 11:05:37

Hope I'm not tempting fate but I use my laptop and have had no problems so far

cornergran Fri 04-Nov-16 11:42:50

You are very we,come anya, it was getting a bit lonely smile.

dustyangel Fri 04-Nov-16 16:16:06

Please can I join you in the Dinasaur Club? I still can't post any photographs not even with only one word in the message box.

Tizliz Fri 04-Nov-16 16:19:33

Just noticed that the post I thought I had made here is not showing. I have no 'inspect' option when I right click - iMac and Safari

kittylester Fri 04-Nov-16 16:21:51

Ny laptop is fine. It's my phone - how do I right click on my phone?
