Glad to know we're not alone

I get that occasionally with Safari on my iDevice, the difference is it keeps your text when you press the back button so you just need to resubmit. Edge deletes the text which is bloody annoying if you've just spent ages typing it out.

I now copy the text before I submit

Just to let management know it's not a couple of isolated cases, I have it almost every time.

It does seem to be user specific. I've still not had the issue when I'm on my home laptop (Win 10 latest) on edge (or the mobile version).

I've just lost a long post, and I am not going to bother retyping it. Is anything being done about this issue?

Current loss was in IE11, where the back button just gives a blank reply. I also get it on my iPad and iPhone. I use several other forums and none have the same issue.

Between the IE and Safari users, that is potentially 50% of your readers affected, acceptable?

Turned on the error logs and will try to figure out what the issue is.

Of course not. I'll keep people posted.

I have a few questions - does this happen only when posting, or does it happen while you browse the forums as well?

Has it always been like this or started recently? Does it only affect Safari or other browsers as well?

Thanks

Only ever when posting for me.

I only use Safari, and can confirm it does it on both mobile and desktop.

Two to three weeks?

I think the big problem browser for this issue is Edge - according to the folks above, it fails every time.

Testing a post with Edge browser...

@stevelup is it intermittent? You still posting with Safari?

I had a quick test on my Windows 10 with Edge.. posted fine above. Will try with another pc in a minute.

It's entirely random. Can go days without a problem, then it will happen two or three times in a row.

Going to be a bugger to debug!

Yup.. proving a problem to debug already. Server logs really arent telling me much. If it is a timeout issue then it will be hard to catch.

Will keep trying tho!

Edge problem isn't an issue for everyone - I've never had an issue with Edge / Win 10 and I use it about 1/2 the time I'm on here. Also haven't seen it on IE11 or Chrome on Win 7 on my other machine.
Maybe I'm just lucky.

intermittent, IE11 and Safari on iPad, Only happens when posting.

Would some date/times help?

Only when posting,

Chrome on Android today, between 12:30 - 13:00 bst

Chrome & Safari on iOS.

It seems to be related to the time spent writing. Cut and paste from somewhere else works.
