Site Testing Some folk have said that when they post a comment they just get a blank screen. If you've had this problem then please comment in this thread and hopefully it should now work.

Sometimes I've gotten the blank screen, sometimes not.

When I post a comment, it just says,

There's a new fix in - let's try again.

Not that I've had a problem, but...

Now I get a not-blank screen that says "Click here to go back to the thread."

I'm not sure I like that any better than the blank screen, tell the truth.

Not that I'm complaining or anything.

posted by mudpuppie 15 September | 15:57

Ahh, but the question is this: does that link take you back to the thread?

posted by dodgygeezer 15 September | 16:11

Yes, but then if I back back back, I go back to the link to take me to the thread, to my post, to my post preview, to the thread, and then to metachat proper.

But basically, yes.

posted by mudpuppie 15 September | 16:15

OK, that's interesting

Let's try another change

posted by dodgygeezer 15 September | 16:42

That works. Pupps - could you try it again?

posted by dodgygeezer 15 September | 16:43

*sniff*

posted by deborah 15 September | 16:54

In my ..er.. test post it flashed the screen with the link to take me back here. I didn't need to click it, it came back on it's own. This time it came back without the "link screen" showing up.

posted by deborah 15 September | 16:55

This is me trying it again. (I can't think of anything interesting to say in any other thread. Boo hoo.)

posted by mudpuppie 15 September | 17:07

Very cool. Ended up right back here with no fanfare, then scrolled down to see that I had posted successfully.

posted by mudpuppie 15 September | 17:08

woo-hoo!

posted by dodgygeezer 15 September | 17:09

I find that when I comment, I have more of a blank mind than a blank screen. Can you do something for that, cause it gets sort of echoey in there. Thanks.

posted by DeepFriedTwinkies 15 September | 22:18

I had this problem when trying to post from my BlackBerry. I would have to go back to the main page and find the thread again.

I am at home on my PC now so... stand by.

posted by bdave 16 September | 10:44

Let's see how this one goes then...

posted by bdave 16 September | 10:55

Well that worked but as usual the buttons disappear when I click them and that post went through without a preview.

But now I must retire to my bed. Let me know if 'n you need any more testing.

Yours,

bdave
