Meta Question

One of our regular Jellies has not been able to post a question for several days and wonders if others are having problems?

Asked by janbb (62863points) March 22nd, 2023

They say this is across all their devices.

Help?

Thanks, @janbb.

That would be me. For more than three days, I’ve been unable to post a question to any section. I can type the question in the box, but the Continue button is unresponsive.

This is the case on both my laptop and my tablet.

A few graphics are missing, too, which is what made me think it might be another software glitch. (I fear our Fluther is getting a bit creaky with age. I can sympathize.)

Is anyone else having this kind of trouble?

I did write to one of the mods, but haven’t heard back.

This happens to me too. In fact it’s happening right now. :(

I haven’t tried asking a question in the past few days. About a month ago, there were a number of people who couldn’t ask questions using Chrome browsers, and I was one of those people. It worked using Microsoft Edge. It’s very odd.

What browser are you each using?

And I just tried asking a question and was unable in both Chrome and Edge. I’m on a PC running Windows 10.

janbb's avatar

I use Chrome and was able to ask this. Windows 7.

I asked a question about three hours ago, in Chrome. Worked fine for me.

I asked a Q on my iPad mini earlier today with no problem.

I asked a question from my I phone earlier today.

I can’t with Firefox, nor with Edge.

When I went to https://i.fluther.com/, I was able to post a really scant Test question from my desktop.

My PC is on Windows 7.

Jeruba's avatar

I’m using Firefox with Windows 11 on the laptop and the Silk browser on the Kindle Fire tablet.

I just posted a question from my desktop running Windows 10 and Chrome.

KNOWITALL's avatar

Fine on my Android.

Jeruba's avatar

I’m still locked out.

A mod pm’d me to say that it might be a server problem and they’re letting Ben know.

I have trouble posting once in awhile with Chrome, but it always works fine with Safari.

23 March 2023: I am unable to ask a question using Chrome on a PC running Windows 10.

Dig_Dug's avatar

I had trouble again today, so I logged out and came back later. Then it worked again. weird?

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I successfully asked a test question just now from my android tablet on the mobile site.

Jeruba's avatar

Still out today, and also missing top and side panel graphics.

Jeruba's avatar

Hurray! After 6 days, I’m finally able to post questions once more. Thank you, Fluthergods!

I tried to post a question today. No luck. Have not had this problem before.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

What search engine are you using??^^^

kritiper's avatar

Am using my Internet Explorer that came with my computer, using somewhat outdated Windows. I can respond here with comments and answers… I don’t ask a lot of questions so this is the first time I have encountered an issue.

MrGrimm888's avatar

I’m on Chrome. Haven’t had any problems…3/28/23…

jca2's avatar

I just tried to ask a question and could not. I could type it in but when I press “continue” nothing happened. I refreshed and tried again, and same problem.

jca2's avatar

Hopefully it’s getting fixed soon.

I wanted to ask what people think of Gwyneth Paltrow’s faces in court, and if they think it will hurt her case. Obviously it’s a timely question, because once the jury decides, it won’t matter.

Jeruba's avatar

Now I’m shut out again. Friday evening, 3/31/23.

I’ll stick around and keep trying, but I’m thinking this would be very offputting to a newcomer.

jca2's avatar

I noticed that there have not been a lot of questions posted in either General or Social, in the past few days. I am wondering if the reason is because of this problem.

Dig_Dug's avatar

Yep, shut out again also :(

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Most graphics have disappeared

Dig_Dug's avatar

I just now can post a question and now I can’t think of one :(

jca2's avatar

I still can’t, as of Sunday morning 1 a.m. Eastern time.

Jeruba's avatar

Earlier tonight I couldn’t, but now I can, and the graphics are back. It’s a little after midnight PDT, Sunday morning, April 2.

jca2's avatar

Haaaaalp!

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

Just now my Fluther account won’t let me ask a question.

I did something that I rarely do. I looked up my question, and got an answer.

jca2's avatar

I keep trying a few times a day. I just tried a few minutes ago (Sunday night) and still, no go.

canidmajor's avatar

I just asked a Q from my iPad mini, my browser is Safari. No problems.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Can’t post a question, 8:25PM EST Sunday April 2, 2023

Tropical_Willie's avatar

I just used i.fluther.com to ask questioon.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

I was able to ask a question. I switched on my phone, from desktop to mobile.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

3 April 2023: I was unable to ask a question from my work PC running Windows 10 on a Chrome browser. I was also unable to log into the mobile site on my desktop PC.

However, I successfully asked a question on my Android smartphone. Obviously, that was on the mobile site.

longgone's avatar

We’ve talked to Ben again, thanks for the reports!

jca2's avatar

I tried last night and I was sable to get past “continue” so I think I’m good, for now at least. Thanks Ben!

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Thanks Ben and mods . . . all graphics are back !

kritiper's avatar

I was able to post a question today, April 5, 2023.

jca2's avatar

I haven’t had any notifications in about 12 hours. It’s weird. I’ve never had this happen. I posted a question about it in Meta before. I’m following a ton of questions so you’d think there would be some new answers on something within the past 12 hours.

jca2's avatar

I just tried to post a question, Monday, 4/24/2023 and I can’t get past where I type the question in. When I click “continue” nothing happens. Is anybody having this problem (again)?

canidmajor's avatar

Yes! I had that problem yesterday and had to use the mobile site, which on my tablet, is uncomfortably large. But at least I could post.
