Help, I frequently get the screen below when I try to post from my laptop. It has happed from my iDevice a few times but mainly laptop.

You type your post, submit, then get the error. When you click the back button you've lost all your text.

It's driving me mad and is very frustrating.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

That's what happens when you try and post with Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.
I tried again today to post using Edge and it doesn't work. I got the same page as you.
I have to post using Firefox (which is the only way I could post this message).
It has to be an incompatability with the Forum as it works in other places (including the Dark Side)

Ok, thanks, unfortunately my newish machine has Windows 10 installed - if anyone else is reading this, do not 'upgrade' it's pants (or I'm just getting old).

I'll have to download Firefox then. Crazy that (probably) the most popular browser is not compatible with forum software. It seems an intermittent fault, not constant.

ETA - only 3 attempts to post this! I now copy my posts before pressing submit! Off to download Firefox now.

I won't argue, I am a non techie (I can hardly work a G1000 :lol: ), I just made a 'massive' assumption that anything Microsoft issued as standard would be the most popular.

PS just Googled Chrome, and it seems all roads lead back to Google :D

You can also try Opera as an alternative to liberate yourself from the crutches (Oops. I meant clutches. Hmmm. Or did I?) of Google. It's fast and safe and has never had any issues on the forum.

Seems I'm actually in the 3% on the laptop and 35% on the iDevice

I was invited to download the Tapatalk app which I did. I have no clue what it was all about so deleted it again.

Happy with Safari on iDevice but will look at Opera or Firefox for the PC.

So the fact that it seems 3% of users won't be able to post doesn't worry you?

Just like every incarnation of IE that has ever been, it's not the best choice for day-to-day browsing. No one -has- to use Edge!

Anyway, I'm not sure it's Edge specific - just that Edge is particularly sensitive to whatever the issue is. I had it three times over the weekend (Safari on Mac)
