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

[Feenie]

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

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?

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

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

Testing (from a second rate Japanese restaurant)

It's now let me do a different post, but not the one I want to make

Again

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

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

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

ive been having problems too when i try to c&p links.

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

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

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

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.

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

ah I had pound signs too.

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!

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

Helen: this is what was happening to me earlier.

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

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

Ah! this has just happened to me, and yes, there were pound signs in my post

LOL namey, THE back button, you know, the one which you use to return to a previous page.

There should be an icon top left of your browser, or press Alt+Left Arrow, or right-click and choose back etc etc etc

Ah right now, to be sure, on my browser, not my keyboard! I'm with ya.

I'm having same problem on antenatal clubs, won't let me do long posts. Also bringing me back to topic page randomly. Can also not access antenatal clubs through topics page. I am having to go through the search request.

Back button deletes my posts, both at home and at work

Hello. And sorry - we're not ignoring you.

We can see that lots of people are having problems but it's not immediately apparent what's up.

We are on it, though...
