"Something's gone wrong" when posting a reply

[TDK]

I typed up a reply, all text, and hit submit. Then a message pops up saying Something’s gone wrong and my entire message is erased. No indication as to what happened. I’m logged in normally, nothing special going on from my side. Guess I have to copy my message to clipboard before hitting send.

I’m seeing this with increasing frequency, too. 

Andrew has reported this a while ago, although that thread’s title is maybe not the most indicative one, as he did not know at the time of writing that the post has been saved thus he suspected the more serious problem of post loss - but then, do we know for sure the posts will always be saved even when this happens?.

Yes, I’ve seen this a number of times - most recently only yesterday.

As ​@waclawek.jan linked, it does (sometimes?) seem that the post has actually gone through - simply doing a page refresh in the browser (often?) shows that the post was actually accepted:

 

On the old forum, at least the whole post didn’t disappear when you got the dreaded red “HTML error” !

I’ve just had a case where this did not work - everything I’d typed was just gone, and not recoverable.

I had to re-do it all from scratch.

 

PS:

On posting this, I got another “Something’s gone wrong” - this time the refresh did work.
