Can't post a question

mikeo999 — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 11:39:58 GMT

When I try to post my question, it says it has been altered because of an invalid HTML link and it tells me to correct the errors. There is no such link.

Let's see if this one works!

I tried that at least half a dozen times. Just because I post a question it doesn't mean my brain doesn't work.

Yes? I don't see anything particularly relevant there. My posts haven't contained any hyperlinks, so why does it report that they do and that they are invalid?

No idea. It may just be a glitch.

You have obviously worked out how to post a question as evidenced by this thread. I would suggest that you just try again posting your question in the relevant board and see how you get on.

It's happened with a private reply too, but not with these brief postings. I think it may be the spelling and grammar checker. When I edited out the underlined bit of the message it eventually went through.

The spell checker is built into your web browser and is not part of the forum settings.

Indeed, but the spell checker underlines words and when you click on them it activates a link to suggested corrections. I never thought it was anything to do with the forum settings and posted here because I was curious as to why posts were being rejected because of invalid hyperlinks which weren’t in them. I think I’ve found an answer and thanks for your interest.

If your suspicions about links are correct how could I post a link in message 4?

EDIT. I am posting thsi to see if incorrect speling generates folts.

EDIT 2. No it doesn't.

I really don’t know. But were the spelling mistakes highlighted before you sent the message?

Yes

So not resolved then. Any other words of wisdom, oh distinguished sage?

I don't respond to sarcasm.

So other than the "I can't post a question" what was your original question going to be?

We maybe able to help.

I posed the question because I had a problem. I seem to have resolved it by making sure there are no spelling or grammar errors in my post and I think it may be because I have the Microsoft spelling and grammar checker on my desktop versions of Chrome and Edge. I posted what I thought was maybe the solution, because I thought it could be interesting and possibly useful.

Way would that be a problem?
