    I've had long-standing problems signing in and posting to the forums with IE8 (XP sp3) from my home workstation.  For the last month, using Firefox has provided a workaround.

    This morning, Firefox is showing similar problems, a popup dialog box complaining about HTML when I try to post a new or edited reply.  Killing and restarting the browser seems to help, but not entirely.  I might want to try logging off or rebooting the system - but what is going on?

    clearing cookies seems to have restored function!

     

    oops - it restores function for one post, then it's broken again!

    testing ...

     

    well that worked, two messages posted without restarting FireFox ...

     

    but two edits of the same message gets the error - though two edits of the same message has been nonfunctional in the forums for a year or two now, just not with server side errors!

    still having many posting problems, so far clearing cookies gives me a short-term fix.

    but can I really be the only one seeing these problems?

    So edits may be requiring the 'reason' text to be completed. We have a bug we are fixing around the error message better explaining that.  We are also looking into the edit issues.
