  I can't post an OP in General Discussion
  
  I was able to do a reply to an Ohio Barbarian post in GD. But I then tried to do an OP myself. No dice. It says, “Seeking Hamster’s Permission” and then just leaves my title and text sitting there, unposted.
  
  I notice others have had trouble posting in GD. What’s going on?

    What browser are you using?
    
    I was having all sorts of problems with Google Chrome, then switched to Opera and have no problems.

  Me three when trying to make an OP in the Presidential 2020 one
  
  Tulsi Gabbard released a statement linking to the video where she told Chris Matthews she is considering running, and I want to share that, and her declaration saying she’d be the President who’d fight for peace.

  except that once “Seeking Hamster’s Permission” thing goes away the whole post just vaporized into smithereens. *POOF*

  It's a text editor problem. We discussed it last night on the phone and
  
  are looking for a solution. Hopefully by tomorrow it will be fixed. It has a LOT to do with HTML code embedded in whatever you are copying.

  Oddly, my posting problems are becoming more and more intermittent
  
  Have been doing OPs and replies, and mos tof them go through. Not a clue why a few still don’t. Firefox and Opera seem to give me similar results.

  Me too, posts don't appear.
  
  Plus, the ignore list doesn’t work anymore. There’s only a couple on there but still, what’s the point in joining if nothing works?
  
  I’m going to check in from time to time, it’d be great if a progressive site like this one actually worked.

  Can no longer post OPs, though was able to this morning
  
  Tried GD and LBN, cut & pasted from notepad, cleared formatting, edited down my excerpts to 2 and then 1 paragraph, included and excluded the link. Nothing. Hamsters do whateverthefork they do, and the post vanishes. Between this and my flaky computer, I’m starting to think the chores I’ve been postponing might not be so bad after all.

  I can't post any text for the Malloy thread this week. I just tried a test case with some text & no graphics
  
  without success. the hamster will let me post Graphics but not any text that I’ve copied. so I don’t know what to do. My malloy test is in general discussion
