Issues Posting

My Ol' buddy McDowell can't seem to post here at SportsHoopla lately. It's prompting him that his posts have to be multiple characters. Looking for a little help from the admins, or other posters who may have experienced similar issues.

Try adding it to the current "can't post", or better yet make a new one in this forum

Could you get him to tell us the exact error message - Google isn't giving me anything from the bold. Also, is he posting from a phone?

Not sure, but I forwarded the info along to him. Thanks for the help and info gents, much appreciated. I'll pass along his exact error message when I hear back.

 

[broncosmitty]

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to atleast two characters. (His screen name is LionscanWIN, btw).

 

[broncosmitty]

He is not posting from a phone.

 

[JohnShadows]

Can you ask him to try it with another browser?

 

[JohnShadows]

Usually that error occurs, for me, when I just quote something, without adding any other text to the message. It may be that there is some type of restriction preventing the submission of the data in the textbox.

well I guess that was the problem your site just does not like firefox lately. I had been trying little test messages like that all day but it went through. do you think I should clear out my cookies?

I don't know what's up with that, man - saw this post, and it's been an issue for some peeps on FF.

I used Firefox exclusively for years. But this site, and some others, work best, speed-wise, on Chrome. If you want to use FF, you might try uninstalling/reinstalling it, and it might work then. I had problems with the flash plug-in, and that cleared it up. Clearing cookies might work, too.

thanks for the help I really appreciate it. I will clear my cookies but I think it might be a problem with my flash plugin it has been having problems running full screen videos in forefox for months and I am not updating that.

I can't get to my Profile... is there a probation period? or an error?

 

[broncosmitty]

Always liked Netscape Navigator personally. The icon was really fun.

 

[LionsWhyMe]

I've cleaned out my cookies and tried both IE8 and FF

Uh, you're using Firefox.

Why do you need to get to your profile? There's nothing there.
