Can't Post

jcferguson · 02-19-2005, 09:19 AM

The site replies with "this is a duplicate of a message you sent in the last five minutes" even though this isn't the case. It works sometimes with Safari on mac, but apparently not with Explorer on mac?

Thanks,

I have the same problem with IE on WinXP. It happens while starting a new post, and while replying to existing threads. It's intermittant, and once I had my post appear later after I had gotten that message. Weird problem.

I had problem after trying to compose a posting and losing it.. When I found it and tried to post, I got the duplicate message, implying it was in a cache somewhere in Explorer... Copied text into clipboard, saved in notepad, logged out and shut down, came back and re-pasted the post... Chalked it up to mystery of life with computers...

Me too. The only way I can get anything printed is to find a thread already in progress and add to it. My new threads are always "cancelled". I thought it was just me because I am NOT computer literate by any means. Judy

Yeah, but I'm getting sick of it! Cannot post a new thread at all! Either I get the duplicate post message, or it eventually accepts the post and then sends it to a cyber graveyard, never to be seen! I'm using netscape 7.1 with XP pro..... I'm beginning to feel paranoid! But then, maybe I do have a cause......

Same here but only in certain forums. I can post in motorhome sections but not in community or for sale, or interior restoration, etc. Running WinXP and IE 6 sp2

Can't get my question to post in the International Section, either. Just get the same duplicate post message that others have mentioned. I was able to post to that section a few days ago, though!?! So it is a new development. I started a new thread under the community polls yesterday which did post.

This is probably why the post volume seems to have been lower the past week. Seems like I come to check on the forum and there's hardly been any posts between visits.

I tried to start a thread yesterday and again today but I had the same problem others are having and my threads were "disappeared." Any idea what's going on, or when it will stop?

Same problem. I'm using Safari on Mac, running OSX 10.3.8, the latest version available. First try yielded just a blank screen. Second try got me the "duplicate" message. Does the list manager ever read these???

jcferguson · 02-26-2005, 09:13 AM

Well... At least it isn't just a problem with my machine. I have been having mixed results. If the post doesn't "take", I go back until I am at the page with my typing, copy the text, reload that same page which will reload as blank, paste the text back in (changing a word or two for good measure) and then try again. Sometimes this works.

Good Luck.

Tried to read a private message sent to me yesterday - can't get in. Tried to log out and back in, with no success. Tried to post a new thread and couldn't.

Is this a Mozilla problem. Just installed Mozilla Browser. Works great everywhere else... When I try to post I get a grayed out text box. Any suggestions? IE works posting...
