Yes, you're not alone 

It's a bug. Close the forum down and open it again and it fixes it. Well it did for me.

Oh OK I will try that thanks Prom and thanks Sprout

I just add an additional full stop/period at the end of my post and submit reply,it works for me.

yes, its really annoying

Dunno........posts a test reply


no, it seems to be OK

Has happened a couple of time yes, but not for about 2 weeks.

Sorry about this. We'd fix it if we knew what the problem is, but we can't seem to figure it out (still working on it).

I get it sometimes, too, and I find that if I just cancel the reply and refresh the page, it works the second time.

[temps suprise techy hint] When you're in the reply box....if you see the tool bar line thingy above where you post hasn't appeared...don't bother typing a message because it won't send.  Just cancel, refresh and the bar should appear when you next click on the reply thingy and then you know it's safe to post [/temps surprise techy hint]

Perhaps it would be less annoying if the message said something like......
"Call that a comment?  
You can do better than that.
C'mon get your finger out and try harder.
People have to read this stuff you know.
Now try again."

That would DEFinitely be less annoying.
*goes to put in a "feature suggestion"*

And to go with Temps techy hint, if before even clicking on the Post Reply button at the bottom of the forum page, if the page doesn't show the powered by Hoop.la logo, I know that the icons tool bar isn't going to show and I won't be able to post a reply. So I refresh the page straight away.

I also think that the problem is more likely to arise if you have other web pages open at the same time as the forum page.

Not sure that's true, El Loro. Because I am the multi-tasking maniac that I am, I ALWAYS have multiples web pages open, but this error probably happens to me about once a month or something.

And I've had it at times when I'm only on here.

It has happened to me but not much.  I thought it was cuz I hadn't posted a long enough comment LOL,

Is Hoopla the name of the hamster??

we're like forum tealeaf readers

Maybe because Cupcake had already done it on your behalf 
Just a thought.

I'm not sayin'.

I read that as "tealeaf healers" for some reason...

  obviously tealeaf means summat funny in US speak

It must be so frustrating for you Soozy, to keep ranting on and banging on about the same thing, with nobody responding or backing you up.   Take the hint, and put a sock in it, because it's getting embarrassing now and you're coming across as very petty and bitter, and like you're desperate for someone to respond to you and 'agree' with what you're saying.  Just let it go FFS.  It's getting old now.

"Just a thought..."  Have a nice day. 

Oh dearie me!    Dearie me! 

Does this have to go on in EVERY thread?  Can't you two learn to walk away and leave SOME threads as fun and lighthearted?

Please don't respond to my post, here: just show me that you can do it!

You are right, today I did see the problem when I only had the one page open. But the rest of my comment is right:
"And to go with Temps techy hint, if before even clicking on the Post Reply button at the bottom of the forum page, if the page doesn't show the powered by Hoop.la logo, I know that the icons tool bar isn't going to show and I won't be able to post a reply. So I refresh the page straight away."

Hey, guess what!
Brian actually witnessed this today, and he's been researching it.  He's narrowed down the cause, and now has to come up with a solution (lucky him ).

Woo-hoo!

Yayyy

Yippeeee!

 Well done to Brian!

Although I have only had it the once & in that instance I had forgotten to make a comment so it doesn't count I guess...

tbh I feels a bit left out

Awwww I'll see what I can do, slimfern.

*musters all the little internet ghoulies to descend on slimfern's computer*

Not that left out 

*calls off the ghoulies*

Brian just told me the fix will be in the next release!

That's what all the men say! 

Give Brian a hug from us. 

There's a post on the Social Strata help forum to say that the fix is in the next release which should be released later this week.

*wonders what the progress is on my like button*

Oh I see. Brian thought we were just complaining for the sake of complaining, as if we would, so now that it's happened to him he's gonna fix it. eh *folds arms* What's that all about then?

Maybe it's one of those glitches that you can only sort when you see the problem for yourself and can then examine the code to see where the page is hanging and not fully loading?
