Why can't I post messages or even replies?

I'm unable to even post replies to threads I initiated.

Why is this?

What exactly happens? (assuming you hopefully are able to reply) if not - send me an email with the explanation, email is on my profile and I will update this thread also to keep everyone else informed

Ahmed:

>> What exactly happens?

Let's say that I compose a reply using the normal edit page (the one with Post, Cancel and Preview buttons). When I'm ready to go, I click Post. That lands me back on the same edit page, with the text of my message intact. Even if I do this several times, I get the same result.

>> (assuming you hopefully are able to reply)

Luckily, I have a couple of other machines (plus a VM or two) nearby, so I was able to discover -- by fluke -- that the problem is limited to this one machine. It turns out that on any other machine, it works as expected. That's how I'm posting this reply

I'm guessing that that narrows our problem search to something cookie-ish...

Thanks

Josh

indeed, there has been this issue for a while now, it happened to me ALOT yesterday, so I had to clear up the cookies, delete temp internet files and reboot the machine for it to resolve the issue (for now)

Do we know exactly which objects cause the problem?

I cleared all the accumulated cookies, but the problem still exists ...

Hmmm ... what other approach could I use to troubleshoot this ...

Hi,

Did you try deleting the temp files and rebooting the machine?

Thank you,

Firewall or security software on the machine you're having trouble with?
