Can’t post or edit

  • Unknown's avatar

    I posted this problem awhile ago under the heading “Can’t edit.” When I tried to edit a post, I would go in, make the edits, and then when I clicked “Save” I would get a box that asked me if I wanted to navigate away from the page when I had unsaved changes. If I continued, my edits might or might not show up.

    When I posted the problem, it was suggested that I clear my cache and cookies, which I did, but the problem didn’t improve.

    I continued to get the same message, sometimes when editing, sometimes when writing a new post. Today I tried to post and couldn’t post a new entry at all on one of my blogs — all that got saved was the title. It’s the same message I keep getting over and over — that I have unsaved changes, after I’ve hit the “Save” button.

    I’ve just tried clearing my cache and cookies again and it hasn’t helped. But I’m pretty sure it has something to do with this computer, because when I started having the problem a few weeks ago I tried posting from my computer at work and there was no problem with that.

    Any other suggestions I can try?

    What is your operating system?
    Which browser and version of it are you using?

    I’m using IE 7.0 on Windows XP Home Edition.

    One trick that worked for me when this error popped up was that just before hitting Publish, I would highlight (select) everything in the post box, then copy it (control C). Then, while it was still highlighted, I’d hit Publish. For whatever reason that seemed to make it go through just fine. Try that and see if it helps.
