Can't post using IE..........

No trouble using Chrome but I prefer IE.
No matter how long my post is, I get-

Thanks for your reply.
At least I know it isn't a problem with my computer.

Same here. I emailed the support and Tom told me the clear my cashe/cookies... but that didn't help.


It was working fine at around 9:00am this morning, but I couldn't post at around 10:00am.

EDIT: Using IE8.

To everyone experiencing the IE issue, please answer the following questions:

Did this just start happening?

Have you tried clearing your cookies and logging back in?

Lastly what version of IE are you using?

Oh thank god. I thought this was my work place putting a stop to RFD.

Ya so my last post using IE was at 9:13 am eastern time. Less than 30 minutes later, I couldn't post.

It always returns the error that my post is too short (less than 1 character). I get there is no transmission of the data entered when clicking submit.

Also I noticed that when I "quote" on reply to a user, it sends me to the advanced mode page instead of just the quick reply box that stays within the thread view

OK so I was writing my reply while you posted your questions. For the when, I gave you a pretty darn narrow time window in my post above.

IE version at work is 8.0.6001.18702 on windows XP.
I can't clear cookies because that function is blocked on the work computer.

I did try to reboot and log off/log on.

Nothing works. Cleared everything in IE browser.

Tried 5 different computers ... all the IEs don't work.

Posting using Firefox on Ubuntu for now.

You bettrt !
I don't like to post on my phone or tablet. Plus, the reception in my office is horrible.
I can't spend another day not being able to waste time at my work. I earned my type of job with a lot of downtime!

- Just started this morning.
- IE11 on Win8 and IE on Windows Phone (Firefox is working if you can see this post!)
- Clearing of cookies and logging back in did NOT resolve the issue.

Thanks!
