Trouble posting and/or staying logged in?

[Fenris]

A thousand Thank yous Morrus. I was fine at work but my computer at home was doing this exact thing. Now it is resolved. I hated posting for home because I had to sign in after every forum! Thanks again.

I'm having the opposite problem - no matter how many times I try, the system won't allow me to log OUT. Any ideas?

Dump your cookies.
If that doesn't work, shut down all your browsers and then erase the cookie files manually. Restart the computer afterward. That should do it.

Having problem posting news

Gudday. I have a news article I'd like to submit but I've having weird problems that don't appear to be related to anything mentioned here - can anyone help?

I log in (purplepete), click on the Submit a Scoop link & enter my scoop. Then regardless of whether I press "Preview Post" or "Submit New Thread" I end up with a blank page. I've tried with different browsers (IE6 & Firefox), different internet connections, dial/up vs broadband, NT vs XP & different computers & no joy.

I sent email to Morrus a couple of days ago but no reply.

If you can read this post then obviously it's letting me reply to an existing thread, not just make a new one.

BTW, is the "submit a scoop" the correct link to use? I want to submit something for Community News, but the only thing listed under Category is 'General'.

Thanks.

Mr. Pete,

I have the exact same problem. Cannot post anything when using the procedure you describe.
I emailed Morrus as well, and no reply. I tried different browser, no luck. I always get a blank page. I want to submit some community news as well.

I am 100% sure it is not a cookie problem, since I've used a brand new WinXP install to access the website for the very first time.

Edit: Pete, perhaps you can give me some backup in this thread:

I have the exact same issue as purplepete and staun. I've tried it on multiple computers, using both IE and Firefox, and I even made a new account (my old one is 35263526) and whenever I try to create a new thread I get taken to a blank page and nothing is posted. I can, though, post in new threads, as evidenced by this.


Has anyone got a solution?

See the other thread as well. I haven't heard anything since I posted my original request to the board. Guess we're just **** out of luck

Still no joy

Unfortunately I still have the same problem & have yet to see a solution. Morrus did post on the other thread that the problem had been "noted" a month ago (May, 2005) but he has other priorities at the moment.

Blank screen

I find the screen goes blank sometimes when I try to post and then I my stuff isn't posted. Very frustrating.

Firefox or Mozilla? If so turn off the Enhanced WYSIWYG editor. Click "My Account" on the bar above, then click "Edit My Thread Viewing Options" Scroll to the bottom and you'll see a selection of editors. Turn the WYSIWYG editor off, using the standard editor or the basic editor instead.
