When I replied to “a reply” to my in-build topic on the Gloster Gauntlet, I had an error message come up and now I can’t reply to anything, p8 of the topic simply says there are no posts despite the previous 7 pages. I really don’t understand what’s happened, very frustrating!

Thanks Spiros, I’m hoping for intervention from Admin to correct it rather than rely on serendipity!

In a strange way that’s reassuring John! Being new here I thought I had committed a cardinal sin!

Hello gents. I'm on it, but need more info. When trying to add a test post to @maxw groups topic (on Gloster Gauntlet, right?), I haven't had any problems, either from my account, or as far as I can see, from any other account.
I'm using Google Chrome on Windows.

Therefore I need more info.

• What was the error message?
• Did it appear when trying to send in your reply, or at some earlier point?
• Were you uploading pictures, or just posting some text?

"p8 of the topic simply says there are no posts despite the previous 7 pages. I really don’t understand what’s happened, very frustrating!"
Ah, ok this may give some indication. Would you please try posting again...

No I wouldn't think that smileys/amoticons pose any problems(s) although I will double-check that. I understand there were no picture uploads involved - in such case I think I know which direction to investigate. As @johnb mentioned earlier, we've had an occasional problem when a topic paging would be corrupted due to a failed posting, that of course is a bug in the original forum software. It gets fixed automatically as we perform cross-checks on all forum indexes every few hours.

Good input @fiveten, I will follow this lead
