ERRORS on The Community while typing???

[mr_lincoln]

I was typing a reply to a post and while typing I kept getting these silly errors ... anyone else seeing this?  I could not post that comment but had to copy what I typed then try again in a new window which worked.  These are just three that I did a screen shot of ... there were more ...

I get these now and then for no reason at all.

I've been getting this as well.  For me, I'm getting signed out of the board and have to sign back in.

The system tries to maintain a draft copy of your posting as you're typing it, and makes running updates as you go. Every now and then it can lose the connection to its own draft copy, and posts that bright red panic box as a result. It will continue to make periodic update attempts as you continue, and if the panic box goes away, its latest draft update was successful.

If you're done writing up your post and the panic box is still there, make your own backup copy of your post and drop it into a Notepad edit window or similar, so that if your posting attempt fails, you won't have lost the whole thing.

Likewise.

If this becomes excessive, you can post your thread on the Community Platform Feedback Board, and maybe Doug will see it and resolve it.

Community Platform Feedback Board is under Inside eBay.

Get that once in a while. As another poster stated, for some reason it has signed me out.

I copy/save what I have just in case the auto-save didn't, get signed back in, and all is well.

It also happens to me.

It effectively encourages you not to post anything lenghtly.

I encounter another issue greatly more frustrating but

I accept what is & what I don't have the ability to change

I often get stupid error messages when typing a quick reply, but if I copy and paste it to a reply it works

This happens when you opened a message but let it sit too long before replying. The system only allows a response for X number of minutes (not sure what that is... maybe something like 30?)

The workaround is to copy your reply to the clipboard and refresh the page and try to post it again.
