There seems to be a random issue that sometimes I cannot post something.  It simply won't respond to the submit button.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I must say I've abandoned several attempts to post a thread or a response and just wandered off elsewhere. 

It has never happened to me. What browser are you using? Any scriptblocker in place? Tried to clera your cache? 

Ah I'm using old stuff.  But sometimes it works and at other times nothing.  So it's my end that's at fault.  Okay, thank you for that Fnord.  I'm still on XP with an old IE6 or 7.   Maybe I'll try another browser when I hit issues.   Thank you. 

Sometimes that happens to me, so I copy what I posted and leave the page and then when I go back it works. Not sure what thats all about. :\

This almost always happens to me unless it is just a short post. It seems to time out or something. I don't know.

I would really recommend upgrading the browser, there are things those old browsers don't support and security issues left unfixed. Basically any of the current modern browsers (latest version of IE, Firefox, Chrome or Opera) will work better, and you'll probably see an improvement in speed as well. And as XP is still so widely used, the only browser that is no longer continuously updated for it is Internet Explorer. 

Like CB said. It always happens unless it's a short post. Any thinkin' composin' and a I need to copy, exit JA, re-enter JA, paste and send.

Edit: That was short enough to avoid problems!

I find I can't go back and edit a post easily and for some reason posting an image requires me to return to the post, edit it and then resubmit if I want the image to be visible. 

I also miss the blow kiss smiley we used to have.  When you think of all the canons and tanks and machine guns we have which we don't use, I really think it's a terrible oversight not keeping the happy smilies.

Hm, odd, then the issue don't seem to be directly related to an old browser.

Yea, the fact that you need to go back and edit posts to insert images with [ img ] tags is quite annoying. The insert/edit image function does seem to solve that issue though, at least for me. 

I suspect that the list of smiles that we have are just defaults that comes with the forum software. Why else would we have this one? 

Or the Tengil smiley:  

i was about to post that i didn't have any problems with this forum this year, when everything went black white for 48 hours, what happened with this site?  

Apparently there was a server crash. Looks like everything is up and running again now though

Just a server crash? Well that's not so bad. On another forum I had heard that JA might have been shut down by the government. (Seriously)

Rofl. for what? That's actually pretty funny

ah - back online...

I wondered what was going on. Glad its back.

The Nabuhitians.  Seriously.  They're running the planet.
