Question

"Something's gone wrong" when posting a reply

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.

Same thing happened to me on another forum running this same platform, so it seems to be a platform issue rather than this site. Copying the text before hitting submit is the safest habit for now. What helped me: refreshing the page or logging out and back in before posting again, since it sometimes happens when the session has quietly expired.

Interesting to know!

In my case, the session was still fine.

Happened again just now, here:

The post was lost - refresh did not bring it back.

Note that pasting images also failed.
