Storyhour Posting issues

[megamania]

I am having major issues posting on my Storyhours.

I can reply with no problems but if I try to copy and paste all I get is a "waiting on en world.org and finally a "Can't open this page" message.

The strangest thing is occationally I can post or post small pieces... like once a month.

Tried getting some help through Morrus. Umbran is limited in aid since I can't reply to him AND most of his questions are going over my head as I am largely computer illiterate.

Any other thoughts?

...and if it matters- I tried using "edit" and found more success but not a consistant one.

Yes, Umbran's the one dealing with this for you. No point us both doing it. There's no secret tech knowledge I have that he doesn't.

Why can't you reply to Umbran?

My best guess (given that we have no real information at all) is that you're copying and pasting from some application which is including craploads of rubbish with the text. The only advice we could offer is to not copy and paste from that application if it's doing that. Or maybe paste into Notepad first to remove all the formatting and gumph. Alternatively, maybe your posts are just too long - there's only so much a forum textbox can handle in one go. But I'll leave Umbran to handle it with you; we don't need an entire staff firing different things at you simultaneously.

I tried retyping the entire storyhour segment but that didn't work either

Tried posting only 2-4 lines at a time. Mixed results. This is why my last John play Storyhour has an imcomplete segment posted.

Copy and paste is from a simple Word 2010

As far as why I can't reply to Umbrum..... don't know. I get the same "waiting for en world.org message before it gives up

Just tried again. Pop-up box asking about leaving this page then states it can not pull up this page

It's all a but like me saying "megamania, I can't make an omelette - any idea why?" -- you've nothing to go on. But it does sound like there's something screwy with your computer. I think you need someone on-site to look for you; do you not know anyone techie?
