Message box not clearing after posting a reply

As the title says. It's been going on for a few days, but when I post a reply, it posts but also stays in the message box so if I'm posting again on the same thread I have to delete the old reply. Mostly on AIBU topic.

Worked fine and deleted it for the above post.

Edit - and this one, so maybe topic specific?

Hi there @starfishmummy. This was an issue a few weeks back but it should all be working again now so we'll take a look. Could you let us know what device and browser you are using (or if you're on the app)?

And is it happening anywhere other than on AIBU for you at the moment?

Thanks!

It's still happening. I said so on the other thread about it a few days ago and didn't get a reply. Definitely still a problem but I consistent.

Chrome, mobile site, Android phone

@KellyMumsnet any update? Still happening for me. If I want to write another post on the same thread I have to go into the box and delete the whole old post.

I've observed the reported issue in the last 24 hours. on Safari 18.6 on Mac OS 15.6

I just commented on a thread I last commented on 5 days ago. My last post was still in the box. Using the quote function correctly quotes the selected thread but still doesn't remove what I've written previously.

I have the same issue. I have an iPhone.

Good morning! Thanks for your patience with this issue. We are still working on this and hope to have something to help very soon. We'll update here as soon as there's news. In the meantime, you can use the bin icon on the message box to delete content quickly. Some of you may well be doing this already but that will save a bit of time where highlighting and pressing delete is very slow or impossible.

Stopped for a few days and now it's back again intermittently
