Problem posting reply - San Marcos, Texas

philby · 07-22-2008, 01:36 PM

Several of us have been having a problem posting a reply on this site. When a reply has been typed (only possible after logging in) and the "post quick reply" button is hit, a message pops up saying "you are not authorized... refresh or log in", which then requires one to retype the message and retry. Another poster has mentioned three possibilities; site, server or internet. The last one being Gates' assault on his own XP system to force everyone to the Vista disaster. From what I can gather this corrupts each computer and/or site at different levels and in different ways to make it impossible to identify as one problem eminating from one source. The relative lack of activity on this forum may be a reflection of the difficulty posting on it. If the corruption or problem isn't on our 'puters (most other sites are problem free, except of course for the Daily Record turtle server) is there anything you can do?

Use the "post a reply" button. For some reason the "quick reply" has never worked well.

So it's a site problem. Somebody ought to patch that. Thanks for the tip.

I've had the same problem posting using both "post reply" and "post quick reply". If there is a time limit they need to kill that clock. If it's a glitch it damn sure needs to be fixed. A posting problem will kill any forum.

I got problems with both the "post reply" and "post quick reply" buttons too.
It gets old retyping a message.
Anybody paying attention out there?

I'm testing it right now ?

Worked for me, too.

I'm sure it was the remember me box. I had the same problem, got logged in but couldn't post unless I did it quickly. Then I remembered the connection between cookies on a timer and similar boxes. One of the guys having trouble mentioned turning off a "clock" (#4). He had the right idea.

why not make that automatic instead of having to click the remember me box. seems old fashioned or a programming patch. it's redundant while logging in.
