Why not?

I was just trying to respond to someone's answer to one of my posts!

Very bizarre.

This topic has been closed for replies.
Correct answer Abambo

Is it possible to to type a reply without being logged in?


If there is a considerable time between when you first started answering the thread and you conclude (ie you needed to do different work in between) it happens that you get disconnected.

It also happens occasionaly without pausing because of an unknown intermittant problem.

In both cases the solution is to copy your answer, cancel and push the reply link again. You can then paste your complete answer and push the post button.

Why not?

The software that runs the forums is Jive. I've gotten the same message, but it's been a while. Sometimes it helps to use a different browser; other times wait a while and try again. Make sure you don't have any words that Jive will object to. Occasionally I have resorted to a screen shot of what I was trying to say and posted that.

That's the best thing to try first—it's been a while since I've had the issue, thankfully!

Yes, after shutting the site down and re-opening it.

Happens often. The question is "why?".
