Not even sure if I'll be able to post this, but here goes!

Since the hiccough this afternoon, where work was being done on the Privacy Policy, I've not been able to either preview posts or submit posts. Now to see if this will post!

Every time I try to preview a text I've written recently, it has cancelled. Most discouraging!

BlueBelle Wed 13-Mar-19 19:54:02

It’s a worldwide problem Giulia

Jalima1108 Wed 13-Mar-19 19:54:53

Should we be afraid?

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 13-Mar-19 20:24:42

Hopefully all ok now but do email us if you’re still having problems

Well I just came back online after catching up with Portrait Artist of the Year and the GBSB, and got all excited reading your post Cari on the Error 521 thread. But no, I couldn't post on it, aaaggghhh! So is this one going to post?

Bathsheba Wed 13-Mar-19 20:58:58

Yep! So I'm back to square one then - seems I can post on this thread only, even though I did manage a 'testing testing' post on the other one earlier hmm

Seems to be a huge social outage tonight inc FB and WhatsApp grrrrr

grannyqueenie Wed 13-Mar-19 23:10:41

I can’t post either!

grannyqueenie Wed 13-Mar-19 23:11:31

Or at least i could on any other threads ?

I've had several attempts at posting this evening. The 'Preview' button just greys out and does nothing. If anyone reads this, I have opted to 'Post' without previewing.

NanaMacGeek Wed 13-Mar-19 23:23:34

'Preview message' button definitely not working. Pressing it causes both Preview and Post buttons to grey out. I have to close my browser and reopen it to allow me to select 'Post message' once both buttons have been greyed out.

Same here nanamacg. It’s Infuriating. I’m using an iPad. Wonder if that makes a difference?

'Preview' button not working on Android so am trying 'Post'

NanaMacGeek Thu 14-Mar-19 00:05:13

Android and iPad showing similar problem. If not fixed by the morning will see how Apple desktop and Windows PC behave.

Bathsheba Thu 14-Mar-19 08:36:46

Still having trouble posting. Preview button not working at all. Sometimes, if I refresh my browser I'm able to post. These problems are occuring on all my devices - Windows laptop, iMac desktop, iPhone and iPad.

Bathsheba Thu 14-Mar-19 08:42:10

Oh, and another thing - I always have the "keep me signed in" box ticked, but since all these hiccoughs started I've had to sign in on every device. And "accept" all the privacy policy stuff on every device too!

It worked! I had a problem yesterday as it wouldn't load. I felt that there was something technical going on - well beyond the remit of of my little brain!

SarahGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 14-Mar-19 10:01:01

We're trying to get to the bottom of the issues. Hopefully some of the problems from yesterday will have been sorted by now but if there is anything ongoing, please post here (or email us at contactus) with as much detail as possible.

I tried a longer message on the Good Morning thread, no luck in posting after about four attempts.
Tied a very short one, that went through.
The Preview is not working either.
What’s going on please?

Site will be down briefly while we fix the problem.

POGS Thu 14-Mar-19 11:18:02

Blimey Lara you have had two deletions for breaking forum guidelines.

Have you finally snapped and Cari gone for a lie down? grin

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 14-Mar-19 11:47:11

Even the mods aren't immune POGS grin
