I have noticed that if I try to post a link to an article be it in a thread or PM, I can't get it to post and my post ends up with ERROR ON PAGE.

Are we no longer allowed to post links?

Yes I began having this problem 2 days ago. I've given up posting links to articles in the archives as a result. Thinking it might be a cache-related problem, I performed a deep cleaning of my cache yesterday. But it didn't help. If I leave the frozen screen up long enough I get a 524 error message. It says my computer is fine & the network is fine but there is a problem with the host's site. I have no way of knowing if that is correct.

When I first came onto Psych Central yesterday, I was able to post a reply with one link in it. However, after that it stopped working again. I haven't tried yet today & probably won't at least not for a while.

I just tried again to post a link in a post I created for a member. I hit Post Quick Reply and the wheel spun and spun and it would not post. Then when I took away the link, bingo no problem posting the other things I wrote.

So, there is definitely something amiss when it comes to being able to post links.

That's bad for you Skeezks because you do post a lot of good links for members struggling. What you do is so helpful.

Yes, as long as I didn't put links into my posts, they downloaded. But if I added a link then the screen froze when I tried to submit the reply. I still haven't tried it today. But it sounds as though it's the same.

Yes, Skeezks, that is exactly what I experience. Thank you for letting me know it's what you experience too. Hopefully Doc John will look into it so we can post the links we find helpful and want others to read it too.

UHHHHH, nope, I just tried to post some links to someone in a PM and when I hit submit it just froze again. Good thing I copied it before I hit submit. I had to pst what I wrote again and remove the link I had put in then without that link my PM did not freeze and it submitted.

So, still something wrong Doc John.

I did experience that once this morning. And in regards to posting a link, I could not get a PM to post/submit unless I removed the link. However, I tried to post a link in a thread just now and I was able to get it to post. So I don't know what to think. That sometimes it will allow it and sometimes not and it just freezes?
Thanks for this!

So far today I've been able to post links to articles in the archives. The internet in general seems to be incredibly slow today. At least it has been for me. But I don't think that has anything to do with PC.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
