Log on problems
#22
When posting about login issues, it would be useful to know how you are connecting:
1. HARDWARE
a) desktop PC/laptop
b) phone
c) tablet
d) seance (just checking you're paying attention)
2. OPERATING SYSTEM
3. BROWSER with/without AdBlocker installed.
Remember, the forum is FREE to use because it's funded by advertising and by Sponsors/ Vendors who pay for the privilege. You will see adverts from forum Sponsors and Vendors which are relevant.
If you get pop up adverts which are totally irrelevant, this is NOTHING to do with the forum. It's generally from your browser and browsing history. Microsoft and Google are far more intrusive on your privacy than forum owner Internet Brands.

Maybe this is typical of what others are seeing. This is on a desk top, running win10.

In each case, there are certain key words that are highlighted, such as BROWSER or adverts. If the mouse is rolled over any of these, another ad pops uplooking like this:

Well, it seems the issues are intermittent. Today I tried responding to a post and use different color letters and it said my response was to short (far from it). I was able to C&P it back into the thread though?
Also, I am experiencing a weird one, when I log on or go to a thread, its shoots me to the bottom of the page????

Windows 10 + Microsoft Edge

I reluctantly 'upgraded' the PC I use for the forum to Windows 10 last week but continued to use Firefox browser.
Switching to Microsoft Edge, I can't replicate the coloured letter or 'response too short' issues but it does go to the bottom of the page in a thread by default.

The reason you got the 'response too short' error was because you simply inserted text into the 'box' of a post being quoted. The program only recognizes text outside that 'box' as being part of a new reply. Had you added 'Doug is right, Trump is not suitable' or similar outside the box, all would be well. The colour of the text was not relevant.

Ive had an annoying problem on the site for 2 or 3 weeks now when using my smart phone to login and post.
Login is fine no problem, but I can't post anything even though I'm logged in.
The message box loses what I've typed and comes up with a new box saying I've "not posted a long enough message, should be more than just 1 character" or something similar to that.
I've lost loads of posts that way trying different ways of posting.
I'm running Firefox android v48.0 and with the Firefox add on "Ghostery" which is an advert blocker and tracker blocker. I've been posting fine from my smart using both of these up until about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
No issues using Win PC and Firefox with Ghostery add on.
