Can't Post
« on: December 31, 2013, 11:37:03 AM »
When I try to post a reply, I get the following error message in a pink background:

"The following error or errors occurred while posting this message: Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message."

I was still logged in so I tried reposting, closing the website and reopening it and logging out. None of these worked. When I tried to log out, I got a "logout failed" message.

This is frustrating, as I have lots of extremely intelligent and insightful comments to make.

It took me several tries to post this, but it finally went through.

Try hitting the preview first; then, come back and hit post.  It has been doing that to me for a while now.  Once I actually post, the rest goes OK from then on.

Thanks, Coach. I did try that the other day and it didn't work, but sometimes I have no problem.

There - it worked this time. The post above didn't go through, then it did after I previewed it. Thanks again, Coach, and Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you too.  Now to go work on my taxes and figure out how much "spreading the wealth" I have to do.   :o

I had the same problem but I found if I clicked on "preview" and "spell check" and then hit "post", it would go through .

Pretty sure this has something to do with being logged in on multiple devices. I just do the preview thing.

Not with me.  I only have a printer connected to my computer.  Can't see that being a factor.

agree.  If I'm just on the chrombook i'm fine.  but when I come here at work, i have to preview before post, then when I get home and back on chrombook I have to preview post again.


May also have something to do with some changes to the site coming.
