Can't start new thread

[Ellie Potts]

Hey everyone, this is a completely unrelated concern but I can't post any threads? So I'm having to ask for help here... I'm not sure why, but I've had a snail issue and when I went to ask about it I noticed I can't post threads. I can type in a thread title, then the thing that says "is this already being discussed" pops up. I can click on the links, or X that out, but the little box where you write your message never comes up. Because of this, I can't post a thread. What am I doing wrong?? I feel like I'm just being stupid

@Ellie Potts
I have moved your post to create a new thread since you were unable to.
it's probably something to do with the site upgrade a few hours ago. I know that dascrow asked everyone to let him know if there were any problems. I have just experimented - like you I get the thread title box, the 'already discussed' list but I do get the reply box at the bottom of the list so it look like this bug has been solved.

I think you're right! I no longer have this problem, thanks!

Ugh! It's happening again. Hopefully will stop in the next day. I wonder what's wrong

Hmm, it still works OK for me. What device do you use, it may be something specific to that. I use a MS laptop and that doesn't have a problem.

I use an HP laptop. It normally only lasts a few hours. Not sure what's up

Mine's Lenovo, MS Windows 10 (not Mac or anything like that). Though I must admit I don't often start new threads, I mainly reply in other members' threads.

I've tagged dascrow in the thread about the site upgrade in the Announcements forum to see if he can make anything of it.

Hi @Ellie Potts - What forum section are you trying to create new threads in?

I can now. When it happens I can't create threads anywhere with any type of title
