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

Mind you, may be coincidence. Trying without retyping this time.

I tried that Nandalot and it works. Are we becoming invisible in old age??

Retype

not restyle,

Nandalot Sat 05-Nov-16 17:47:49

I am on
Safari 9.

I find that if I restyle my name , which has gone faint, in the user box, I can post.

It was my 'work' apple that I was having problems with and not there again until Monday but it is a new one - about 3 months old - and I keep it updated.

Hi folks!

We think we are making headway with this (...she says).

The tech team think that some of you might be using outdated versions of iOS and Safari, which could well be the reason why you're having trouble posting. They tested it out on older versions and were having the same problem, but each time they used the latest version of both, things seemed to work fine.

Would you all be able check the versions of iOS and Safari you're using please? You can find the version of Safari (if, in fact, you are using Safari) here: whatversion.net/safari

Thanks!

Testing that theory

Iam64 Sat 05-Nov-16 09:09:43

It seems as long as I write briefly, I can post. Lesson there? smile

Iam64 Sat 05-Nov-16 09:06:57

Why can I post here but not anywhere else?

phoenix Sat 05-Nov-16 00:04:58

No, back to saying that I need to log in even when I already am! angry

phoenix Fri 04-Nov-16 23:55:42

Oh, actually seemed to work!

phoenix Fri 04-Nov-16 23:55:02

Let's try this one...

Lazigirl Fri 04-Nov-16 20:21:25

It's actually gone thro now. May be its just the political threads!!!

Lazigirl Fri 04-Nov-16 20:20:36

Am so pissed off with trying to post several times today. Instructions given no use to iPad users, so am going off for a few weeks and hope it gets fixed as it's raising my bp.

Iam64 Fri 04-Nov-16 18:53:57

the suggestion about right clicking, copying and pasting just made me come over all anti technology.

Iam64 Fri 04-Nov-16 18:53:27

testing again

phoenix Fri 04-Nov-16 18:32:06

I'm getting quite narked now! Every time I want to post, even in the same "session" IYKWIM, I keep getting told that I have to log in!

I AM logged in, for heavens sake! So, I then have to log out then log back in.

Grrrrrr.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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
