Why can't I post a topic?

 Tried on two occasions to post to thread with issues. Both times I receive error message that the post cannot be made. Feely frustrated with system.

Hey there, @50lougift. Goodness, this does sound frustrating for sure. So sorry to hear about the trouble.

What kind of device are you using to post? If you're on a desktop computer, you could try using a separate browser. We have had the most success with users posting from Google Chrome.

Also, if you could take a screen shot or picture of the error message - that might help us in diagnosing the issue as well. 

Let us know either way! We are here to help.

In addition to what @Joe posted, I have run into issues with trying to post a topic or reply if you've been timed out before you hit 'Post'.  Signing back in, then redoing the post works.

@GlassJudy - this is a great point, as well. I've definitely come in contact with this issue also.

It's pretty frustrating too, because the original post isn't saved, and if you've taken some time to type the response, you've just lost it all.  I've taken to saving posts to the clipboard before posting them.
