Panders Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Why do I so often have trouble posting my answers on the Forum, it just says it's saving my post and goes on forever!, or when I use the auto save thingy (that's technical language) then when the post does finally appear on the forum symbols such as amp enclose some of the words?

Inge Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am not having the problem.. are you using the quick post option or the full one..

thumperrabbit Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I've had that too occasionally, usually if I'm on the IPad wondered if that was the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi Panders I'm sure that you don't really want any 'technical support' from me but.......I won't let that stop me! Are you using IE? I found that I needed to change to Google Chrome......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sorry chaps (and thanks for pointing me at this Susan!). We've had reports of this happening before but never really been able to isolate the problem to one browser/OS or anything else. I'm going to get Matt to have a think about it and see what we can do. Is anyone from this topic still reliably getting the problem? That would be handy as it might be easier to fix if we can reproduce it at will.

Panders Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have switched over to googlechrome Steve as my techno guru advised, I will let you know if I continue to have problems. To be fair with IE it was more than often the case that posts were not being posted straightaway but being "saved" for ages, and only infrequently was the post being auto saved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Careful sunnyday. If you get known like that you also get held to account when things go horribly wrong. Be careful what you wish for... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It happens to me fairly often. I tend to copy my reply go back a page then forward again, paste and post and all usually works well. I've been trying to check and can't see any particular pattern or regularity though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It does have something to do with the autosave feature Helen, which is Javascript. It would be a shame to lose the feature completely, though, as it has saved people's bacon many times. If you can let me know your OS and browser versions that would be useful. :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
