Okay, while everybody throws some water over their heads and tries to cool down, let me take a step sideways for a minute. I've often had replies to forum posts refused with an "Oops...." blah-blah-blah and can't figure that out. Once it was a list of song titles another time a quote by Shakespeare. I checked the Forum guidelines and am still flummoxed. Any insights?

Reloading the page usually fixes that.

I think that usually means that something in the forum changed while you were composing your message.

I copy my message to the clipboard, then reload the page. My text on the reloaded page is usually partial, so I delete it, replace it with the text I copied, and repost it.

Right. It's irritating when I get the Oops message. It happens far too often and is a new glitch. But I just copy my message, exit the thread, come back in, and post it again, and it's always worked.

Maybe. I noticed they posted a few times after I offered. But sure, if they reach out at whatever point I'll try and see what the issue is.
