I'm having the same problems, and guess what - in this thread it seems fine.
I gave up trying to post in the VC thread on my forum, but I could post a thanks.

Tried posting to the soldering iron forum, and no luck. Tried sending a PM and no luck, but it would let me send an email.

I can type a heading, but I can't type the story in the field if I am replying to a thread. The cursor won't appear in the description box, yet I can click on the icons. Either that, or it just sits there thinking.

If I get a post in and "Leave the Page" it double posts, so I have to stay on the page and when I leave much later it seems OK.

I thought I posted a Youtube video link last night - but it isn't there.

Now I have typed this message, hopefully it goes through and doesn't just sit there thinking.
I am using Explorer.
I went through Google though, and still had problems.
Do I have to remove Explorer to use Google???

Is it me, my computer, my software, or the forum???
It has been going on for months now, and makes it very time consuming and hard to use the forum.
If I am having problems, and others are having problems, then thousands may be having similar problems!!!

Cheers
Greg
