Why can't I save edits?

[Flatus Maximus]

Every time I edit a post and click save, the little spinning-wheel-of-wait spins for eternity. Do I have bad karma?

Same here but it usually still edits. What browser?

 

[Flatus Maximus]

Chrome or Safari, same result.

I just tried to edit the post above. I let it think about it while I prepared and ate breakfast, which took at least 15 minutes. I reloaded the page thinking maybe it worked but wasn't showing on the screen. Nope.

Does the page try to load some advertising or google script? This is the main reason things don't work for me so I usually block the offending adverts and scripts.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. There is always a stationary ad at the top of the page, and another, somewhat animated visit-out-sponsor ad on the right side of the page.

Edit: Checking to see if Go Advanced does the trick.

I've had the same issue for at least a few weeks now, but if you "go advanced" and save from there it should work.

Yeah, go advanced does the trick. I posted about this same problem months ago. Nothing has been done. It's kind of annoying.

Yes, well diagnosing the problem is very difficult, because it only affects a few, and it is difficult to determine how you individuals are different than the bulk of users.
