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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!!

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

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.

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 02-Nov-16 08:45:29

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.

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.

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.

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

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

janeainsworth Wed 02-Nov-16 07:51:37

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

Welshwife Sun 30-Oct-16 19:57:42

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.

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

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

Iam64 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:47:50

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

Same here, Maggie. I'm on a Kindle.

Maggiemaybe Sun 30-Oct-16 14:04:37

But my problems with the Kindle have been happening all week.

Maggiemaybe Sun 30-Oct-16 14:03:53

I don't have any problems when I'm on my desktop, though.

ninathenana Sun 30-Oct-16 13:58:35

Does seem a bit slow to send on my android but posts do get there.

wot Sun 30-Oct-16 12:35:44

On no!!!! I give up!!!

wot Sun 30-Oct-16 12:25:01

It's getting worse!

wot Sun 30-Oct-16 12:23:24

It seems to happen after I've try to move to another thread and/or try to post. I have to shut TH and then reopen it.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Sun 30-Oct-16 11:08:34

Ah, well if it was about Lycra then that'd be why grin.

Sure tech will figure it out but in meantime if there's anything useful anyone can add about when it seems to happen that'd be great.
