This usually works for me.
Post the text of any article or any long OP of your own onto a notepad or Word document first. 3/11/19–Don’t have to do that on 4.0 anymore. Just copy your text.Open up your OP in General Discussion or wherever. Do not type or paste anything in the title box. Make sure you have a double row of icons at the top of the text box. If not, click on the square box next to the smiley. If you don’t do this, you are effed. Click on the clipboard thingie on the bottom row with the T. You should get a blue box that says something about paste text only.
Then paste in your OP or article. If your original article had lots of blue lines or pictures, highlight your whole text box, then click on the diagonal eraser thingie to the right of the T-clipboard thingie on the text box tool bar. This should remove any formatting the hamsters don’t like. You can add the link, if any, at the bottom. Then type or paste in your title. Then hit Submit.
This works 90% of the time for me. Best I’ve got, and hope it helps.

I’m sticking this. Anyone can remove it if they like, but I think it’s important.

I just hope it works for everybody. After awhile, it’s not even that hard, but still…

I’m kind of new on the Mac and for me to open a word document in “Pages”, decide where to save it to, name it then bring my browser up to JPR bring up ‘originalpost’ and search for the text file I just created in Pages and bring it into the JPR forum…wha???
Even on a PC – which I’m much more practiced with – I’d find it to be a tedious process.
I mean I open and login to JPR, click on ‘create topic’ or whatever it’s call and there’s this nice box for you to type your madness into. I don’t want to create somewhere else and then suck the whole thing up in a glob and drop it in this prefabricated rectangle.
Something’s wrong or something’s wrong with my understanding of what you wrote.

Word Press spam filter or whatever it is figured out. Better than having entire posts disappeared.

“Leave it to a government bureaucrat to find a workaround in six weeks or less.
I just hope it works for everybody. After awhile, it’s not even that hard, but still…”That worked & also made it possible to quote without those annoying slash marks
Now I’m trying apostrophes/I’ll be trying them/you’ll be amazed

For the first time I wasn’t able to post an op. the title shows up on the start page but when I click on it, the op is blank. and even the title doesn’t show up in gd.

Yep. I’m having the same problem now. My little workaround isn’t working around anymore. I hope they get that new site up soon, and do it right, is all I can say.

Still no go for me.
Even if I fully type everything. Perhaps it is words like s-e-x-I-s-m and stuff?
I’m considering giving up.

Evidently “s-e-x” is on some spam filter or other, and the latest fix didn’t fix it. I don’t know why.

Yeah, I figured it out.
Conversely, I found out, that it is a convenient way to delete a post. 🙂

It is March, and even though I try everything said in this thread, I still can’t seem to post a single thing from a Word-document.
This is beyond annoying. It is also, in my humble opinion, NOT YET resolved.

Sexism. I don’t get why it works for me but not for you.

Ok but. after I twice tried to post a Politico article about deBlasio in the President part of 2020 Elections – and then posted to Help and Q&A when it didn’t show up, my post to Help and Q&A didn’t show up either.
I feel much better since I gave up hope.

Politico? Did you click on the JPR text box and then click on the plain text icon that looks like a clipboard with a T on it? I can never paste anything from there without doing that. At least I don’t have to use a notepad anymore.
That won’t go away, either. It’s a security feature to keep out nasty viruses and Trojan horses and the like.

Let’s test 4.0: Sex. Gay. Bitch.
OK, that triggers post awaiting moderation, which is still better than 3.0 when it would just get eaten.
