    Anyone else have trouble posting occasionally ? Tried today off my phone and off my laptop and both times it gave me a communication message or something then acted like it posted and both times nothing showed up . Really frustrating when you type up a long post or pm.

    Yep, three times last Fri night, about to give up.

    I will have the same problems from time to time. It always says it times out when I start a new post. Give it another 5 min and refresh and it is there. If I type up a long reply I copy it before I post just in case it doesn’t go thru. I have the same problem on my phone as I do on my computer.

    Another issue I have noticed is that when I log in that I will have a message or two that I was unaware of because it wasnt sent to my email account.
    That really doesnt bother me except for the idea someone could be needing some help and I didnt know about it until possibly too late and I wouldnt want someone thinking I was ignoring them.

    One thing I noticed is if I try to quote an entire post of someone else’s it fails, however if I quote a smaller part it seems to work fine.

    The only time I have issues posting is if I am quoting a post that has multiple quotes already in it. It doesnt like it so I have to remove at least one quote in the thread and it takes it every time.

    I was trying to quote a post that had a quote in it . That makes more sense.

    This is definitely a janky forum, it’s not just you. Things I’ve noticed are:
    – having multiple nested quotes, as has been mentioned, often doesn’t work
    – having more than one link will usually (always?) make post disappear
    – submitting post with pictures almost always says it timed out for me but actually does post
    – it takes some time for pictures to process and show up, this is why so many people have duplicate pictures because they re-add it before the original one shows up

    Yeah this is the only issue I run into. One quote is fine, multiple rarely works.

    Yep, that will do it. That and sometimes when people have emojis in there it jacks with it. As you edit your post clear out at least one quote and get rid of the emoji.

    Yep, that will do it.

    If you highlight text and then click quote it will only quote the highlighted part.

    When placing a link in a post use the LINK feature in the bar on top of the reply window. It will look similar to this. When the link shows up in your post, type in what you want to name your link between the two ><. If I wouldn’t have screwed with the html in the link below, it would look like

    “TYPE LINK NAME HERE” in the thread.
