Problem with the ‘Post Reply’ button

Post by poprock »

Erm, yeah. As the thread title says.

When reading a thread, I click the ‘Post Reply’ button, and it sends me to the forum index. Not what I was hoping it would do, really.

Any ideas? I’m using Safari 3.0.3 on a Mac.

Oh dear. Now it’s started working as it should. All by itself.

Leaving my thread looking a bit silly.

One other small thing - I expected when replying to a post (like this) to have the subject box to still contain the original subject line. But it doesn't, so its blank and you have to fill it in.

Okay, this seems to be an intermittent problem. Which (I assume) will make it bloody hard for the site’s techies to diagnose and repair.

When I’m browsing the forum, I tend to open a bunch of threads at once in fresh browser tabs, then click through them and sometimes reply. Doing that, if I click the ‘Post Reply’ button, I get sent to the forum index.

However, if I navigate to a thread without it being in a new tab and click to reply, then it works fine.

So, erm, no tabbed browsing for me when using this forum.

How strange. I just did a post and there was a delete option button. So I deleted it.
But in the previous post of last night - there is no delete option. Is it time limited or something?

EDIT - and for this post I can delete it using the button, but not past posts!
