Can't post on a thread - keeps defaulting to topic page

Am trying to post on this thread - have posted on it before. But pressing post just takes me to the topics page. What is going on? Have tried in IE and Firefox Confused

I did, but sadly it had deleted everything I had typed and was just a blank box Sad

Helen: this is what was happening to me earlier.

Strangers: which back button do you mean Blush? [ignorant emoticon].

mylifewithstrangers · 25/11/2010 22:03

smokin, if you'd just hit the button it would have gone back to the page where you typed it all!!!

smokinaces · 25/11/2010 22:02

aaah, I just wrote a long post and lost it - and it had a pound sign in it!

Gutted as really cant be asked to retype it all now!

DebiTheScot · 25/11/2010 21:50

ah I had pound signs too.

mumto2andnomore · 25/11/2010 21:49

Ive had that problem too, didnt know it was the pound sign !

DebiTheScot · 25/11/2010 21:49

I had that too earlier. I'd written a big long post and it did the same thing. I'd copied it (dodgy internet connection so I usually do that so I don't lose it) and then when I tried it again it still wouldn't work. But eventually let me post it in small sections.

mylifewithstrangers · 25/11/2010 21:46

It wouldn't let me post earlier until I removed the pund sign and substituted 'quid' !! Because is such a subversive sign Hmm

I just tried to post this with an actual pound sign and it still won't let me.

Oh actually, I was trying to link to something. maybe that is the problem?

I was trying to cut and paste from an government document (the Assessment and Reporting Arrangements 2011) but it wouldn't let me! Worked when I retyped - very sinister Grin

Do you have any odd characters in your post, like the pound sign for example Hmm

5inthebed · 25/11/2010 21:40

It's not letting me post anything longer than one line

No, can post on this and others. It's just that one, and I really want to post on it! Thanks for the prompt attention though Smile

I can see your test post, Helen, but it still sends me to topics when I try Sad

How odd, Feenie.

I've just managed to post on that thread

Is it happening just on that thread? Or can't you post on any threads at all?
