I click submit and it simply takes me back to my blog home and doesnt post the new article. No errors, nothing to indicate I did anything wrong, it just eats the post.

Addl note...
The default display scheme also seems to be whacked out. I grabbed a screencap and posted it here:

Have you tried logging off and then logging back on?

Internet Explorer -

Logged off and back on, still can't post and the layout's still broken. The default doesn't work period, but the blue scheme works about half the time. Right now I'm typing in a comment box that is about 3-4 words wide.

Mozilla -
Logged out and back in... Layouts are working fine, but posting still doesn't work.

I just did a test post, and it works fine, make sure you log out and log back in, and if the symptoms still occur, please let us know

I'm having the same problem as Zoomba, as far as posting. I haven't seen the default display scheme problem, though.
I also can't create a new post in the forums. It never showed up after hitting submit.

I'm also unable to post new forum threads directly into the forum

I too am having the same problem as Zoomba minus the display problem.. I've tried loging off and test posts and all that but I still cant post.

I have no trouble with my brothers computer, but with my daughter's computer nothing happens. With my computer I don't get the display with areas for making a new article. When I click on the choice between blog sites, nothing happens. I also have a Mac. It might be fixed already I'll have to go home and find out.

Ok, I have found the problem and corrected it. It was due to some recent security measures that we implemented. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Please let me know if you experience any other problems.

Last night, I had a problem posting. I couldn't post anything at all. However, today I was able post, but it didn't show up on the display. But I'll try the logging on and off thing, too.

just did the whole "log off and log back on" thing, and was able to post...

thanks for the tip... shoulda known...

too bad we can't just turn a bitchy woman off and turn her back on when she's not acting right

New posts disappear after the "Post" is clicked. Also once I choose a topic, the page seems to refresh itself.
If I don't enter a topic before I start writing, I am in trouble.

Thanks Joe

Brad, I had one this morning posting your fav article of the welfare state ;-0, anyway, after 'posting' , it came back with an error msg, something about bad quantity in the sub/cat line . . . something, sorry i didn't copy it out. so i went back to try posting again and got the same thing. when i left and came back to the home site, i saw my post had actually registered each time i had tried, though it wouldn't register on my end. i went back to delete the multiple copies. i just did another test post to recreate it, but it went through fine. so, maybe a temp glitch?

Ok. I fyou have any problems, email [email protected] and CC me at [email protected]. Hopefully any remaining problems we'll get wrapped up. We have been adding additional security features to the site which may have broken some things.

It seemed i wasn't able to post anything. I could make comments but whenever I clicked post, it took me back to the "My Blog" page, but my recent article was nowhere to be seen. It seems the problem has gone, but I'm also on a different computer using Netscape.

you probably already noticed but just in case you didn't: everyone who didn't select the real name displayed option has their nickname listed as "oops".
