i have to hit the preview button in order to post. If I just hit post, I did that I timed out on the session or some such thing. An error.
It is not my computer because I've been on the phone with Dell for 2 hours. They ran every test and virus cleaner known to mankind.

I've been having it, too. The site also was treating me as if I hadn't logged in when I tried to post, even though I had.

Now I can't use the quote function. If I quote someone I get error this session has timed out.
Maybe it has something to do with the winter storm in DC.

I can't quote either, and the the Post button doesn't work (so I have to use Preview). Also can't PM.

To add to the growing list of weirdnesses, I just now tried to "Mark All Messages as Read." Upon hitting that button, I get an error message that states that I need to logout and log back in again. However, when I try logging out, it won't let me. The alternative to logging out/back in is to go back to the previous page; when I do that, the list of threads is still there, unmarked.
I haven't noticed the problem with having to preview first before posting, but that could be because I routinely preview my comments before posting them anyway.

I got that one, too. Now things seem to be working fine. Yesterday, not only would it not let me post, it wouldn't even let me log out. I thought it was my PC, which has been without sound for a while, (other people were posting) so at least it spurred me on to call Dell, and now I have sound. |

Testing, 1, 2 3.
On edit: yes, I'm getting the same effect. Must Preview before posting. Let's try the Modify function.
On second edit: No need to use Preview.
My guess is software malfunction. In, any case CHE should do the recommended upgrades. It's two versions behind SMF's latest releases of the 1.1.x version. Version 2.0 is in beta.

And has been for months and months and months (I think a year or more, actually) and is now regarded as a stable release, even though it still has the "beta" tag. VP |

If you use the Preview function first, you can then use the quote function. I am not making this up. Here's what I posted on PA earlier: So not entertained by CHE dysfunction today. I can't post, can't log out even when it tells me I must log out, can't quote, can't send messages. That was my morning... erictho-the-brilliant-and-compassionate rescued me in FB by telling me to use REPLY, then PREVIEW, then POST, and suddenly it works. It doesn't work if you use QUOTE and then POST, or do anything without PREVIEW before POST. What sort of Frankenstein's Monster Programming Glitch [FMPG, I think I'll copyright that] is that? It's like you've found the hidden extra lives or better weapons or somesuch behind the something-or-other you never clicked on while playing SuperMarioBrothers. |

I just thought I'd mention that last night I discovered the only workaround that worked for me.
Compose, hit "post," hit the refresh button on my browser, then a screen comes up with a "retry" option, click that, and voila.

Hunh. The only thing that worked for me is if you take a bean and cut it in half, then you click Post while you're touching the bean, then you take and dig a hole and bury the bean in the Internet in the dark of the moon, and that post you touched the bean with keeps pullin' and pullin' tryin' to fetch that other half, and pretty soon there's your post on the internet.

Anakin, that's very similar to the method I had to use. Approximately the same time investment, definitely.
