I have for the last few days, I tried to reply to a thread with a link to a ny post article in “Current Events” sub-forum.
Anytime I press”SUBMIT”, it would not accept my reply.
After a day of trying, tried a reply without the link, it worked.
I try as much as I can, when I am quoting/paraphrasing something, I like to add a link to where I got the information from when I have the link.
August 16, 2020 at 6:14 pm #184120I might have found what the problem is.
It one tries to copy/paste a link that already has the hppt://www. in it, the forum rejects the whole reply/new thread outright.
Is this an issue/problem that needs to be looked at, or just something we have to remember when we want to add a link… do NOT include “http://www. ”
August 16, 2020 at 7:21 pm #184126Is there any way that when a thread/reply is not accepted we get an error message stating why?
Then we can make the adjustment and more on.
August 17, 2020 at 2:35 am #184160The forum is extremely buggy. It doesn’t let me post on my mobile devices – android phone and a tablet because when I log in and go to a forum to post it immediately says that I’m logged out no matter how many times I keep logging in. Then the posts I make on the PC half of them disappear whether or not they have links in them and I’m given no explanation. I’m not attacking anyone or being a jerk on purpose and the worst I might have posted was an f word not directed toward anyone specifically, so there’s no way to know if a moderator is removing half of my posts or if it’s a glitch. I reported these issues numerous times for weeks but no one has gotten in touch with me so I’ve stopped reporting. I do see some others being able to post links. I don’t know what’s going on.
August 17, 2020 at 8:44 am #184231I think it is HOW the link is written that is at issue.
I have posted links in the past, and have done so here.
The fact it won’t accept one that has the http already in it is what I find strange.
It is a proper link after all.
