Can't make posts to a vB forum :/

Joe 90 · 27-05-2010, 15:09

For some strange reason I can't post new threads or reply to old ones on a vB forum.
I've no idea why, makes no sense at all. everything works apart from those two buttons to submit & preview! they just don't do anything!

I'm admin so have access to do everything I need but can't think what might be the problems.

Any ideas?

* Happens on my PC & my mac! Other users are posting without any problem though.

Oddly enough, I had this problem a few weeks ago with the BD forum, from Safari on my Macbook. It just seemed to suddenly start working, so I assumed it was a glitch with the forum...

yeah, its weird that its happening cross-platform, but I can't think what on the forum would cause the problem :/

Note: f=19 is a forum section I picked from the forum I suspect you're having problems with.

yeah, i can get to that page, but i cant publish anything. :/

What do you mean by that? Error? Timeout? Or just nothing?

Joe 90 · 27-05-2010, 21:00

literally nothing. I press either post or preview buttons and nothing happens, the browser simply doesn't do a thing. its really weird.

Mark · 27-05-2010, 22:12

Can anyone else post?

Joe 90 · 27-05-2010, 22:46

yeah, thats the annoying bit - people are posting stuff and I need to reply to it!

What about if you register a different user and try that? Even when you're an admin you can be explicitly denied access to do things and that'll overrule the allow all-ness that an admin account has.
