coming in through an email might not accomplish login.
some other members have reported the problem with posting replies when they are properly logged in. so far, i have not been able to detect a pattern that might help the techs determine the cause. there are very few things in common among those users who have reported the issue. this is what i have gathered so far:
1. the problem occurs when using Internet Explorer. (so, if you are among those having the problem I recommend you switch to FireFox or Google Chrome - at least for now.)
2. the problem occurs most often during an attempt to post a quick reply. it occurs sometimes when trying to submit a PM. (I recommend using the "Go Advanced" option in each case. If that does not improve things, please let me know so i can add that to my list of clues/not-clues.)
I have only been able to replicate the problem one time on my own computers. The Quick Reply failed, but a "Go Advanced" reply succeeded - although it took longer than usual for it to post.
The only thing i noticed that was different is that my wireless signal was only about half as strong as usual. I plugged a different receiver into my computer, which improved my signal, and my next attempt to post went through zippity-dip as usual.
The techs have not been able to replicate the problem at all on any of their computers.
