Can’t Post.

[chrissa1]

I’ve been trying all afternoon to post a message in Chatterbank. I keep getting the message, “error the post can’t be added” or words to that effect.
What’s going on?

You're here now! Problem solved??

[tonyav]

Yep seems to be working now, chrissa.
If it happens again though it might be worth logging out and then back in and see if that clears it ( remember your password though ).

Clear your browser's cache.

[chrissa1]

Ok. I’ll clear the cache. Yes, I’m here now, but just before I posted this, I tried again with the post I wanted to post. Nada.

What thread was this?

[chrissa1]

Chatterbank.

[Old_Geezer]

That's the forum.

[jim360]

That's the category -- were you trying to create a new question, or was there a question already created you were trying to post in?

[chrissa1]

I checked that the words I was using came up with no followers.
It was a dry bit of humour about riding a horse and ending up in hospital. :/

>I checked that the words I was using came up with no followers.

I'm not sure what you mean there, Chrissa. Followers are something you get on TikTok or Instagram etc.

Were you trying to answer an existing question or ask a new one?

[chrissa1]

“Followers” was the wrong word to use. You know what I mean, ff. Abers commenting on it.

That's happened to me, Chrissa, when I have tried to c&p something which is apparently not allowed. Nothing dodgy, just something to do with format, I think.

Copy and paste the link here to the thread.

It may be that the thread has been closed or removed.

[fiction-factory]

Sorry, still no idea what you mean, Chrissa. I can't see why you'd expect people to be commenting on it if your post hadn't appeared.

Are you saying a thread (yours or someone else's) seems to have disappeared?

[chrissa1]

No, ff. I meant I checked that the wording I was planning to use hadn’t been posted before and commented on. To avoid duplication of posts.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. So were you trying to copy and paste from somewhere or just type it?

[pixie374]

I don't know whether I'm getting the wrong end of the stick, chrissa... but I got the same message when I tried to copy something which had emoticons in. AB just couldn't do it.

[Jordyboy9]

It’s the weekend and if spare ed isn’t here,
Does that not tell you something?

[chrissa1]

No emoticons, pixie.

[pixie374]

It still may be just a format thing? Will it allow you to post the link here? I mentioned in on the sticky "isolation" thread, as it was the first time i had seen it, although i could still post as usual, otherwise.
