Susie, it’s not just you. I’m sure the forum tech wizard is on it.

thanks, ono.

It's happened to me a few times also and the good news is that you don't lose anything -- it appears the software is attempting to double-post your reply and then a safeguard in the software is preventing it.

The net result is that you get shown an error screen -BUT- your post gets added and while not perfect, it's not like everything you entered gets zapped.

As forum glitches go, this is a pretty friendly one!

that means i can ignore the error message?

 

[Sevens]

Well, every time it has happened to me, my post was entered properly so in the end... yes, just kind of ignore the error message.

I'm sure they'll sort out the problem.

thanks, seven. i'll do that.
