Problems Using Forum

I have TWICE tried to post a reply in the thread about the recent documentary, dealing with children excluded fro school.

I hit the reply button after finishing typing, but the forum skin and controls are sometimes very slow and inadequate, and the connection between the reply button and making the post was not made. The reply simply spun and spun, and failed to load.

It's hard work and commitment for nothing.

Can someone look into this technical deficiency, and see if a resolution or improvement is possible. Thanks. The emoticons are not loading either lol

  • I tend to save what I've typed before hitting reply (CTRL A, then CTRL C) - just in case.  I spent a while typing a response the other day - then I hit 'Reply' and it simply vanished.  Never appeared.  Had to do it all again.  Saving and pasting saves the grief.  Sometimes, it all really very slow in responding - probably during peak periods of use.

    Sometimes, too, you can insert a 'Slight Smile', and the flag comes up - but the emoticon isn't inserted.  Then, when you post the reply, the flag stays until I refresh the page.  Just a tiny glitch.

  • That seems like a stroke of genius to me, sometimes I think I'm computer illiterate, I take it that CTRL A will select all text and CTRL C will copy it? But where does it go, how do you find it again if you need to?  I see we have some handy hints to the right now and I understand using @ to mention some one but it never works with Lonewarrior's name...

  • Spotty T' You have to do, CTRL + V  it will paste whatever you copied last with the CTRL + C.     Go For It.

  • Bit hit and miss! When I was busy posting earlier even when I pressed cut or copy it didn't paste but Sod's law it just did... Slight smile
