Site posting issues - October 20

The site is currently experiencing some issues with users’ ability to post. We have seen multiple cases of people being unable to post from their phones. Switching to the Desktop Site from the Mobile Site may be a workaround for if you are unable to post or comment.

Users accessing the site via desktop browsers appear to be unaffected.

More info when/if we have it.

This is still happening to me today - this next part gets pretty graphic and I don’t mean to upset anyone, but I had to put down my phone, lean over from the couch, and grab my computer off the coffee table just to post this.

Those of us who almost exclusively use the desktop site have noticed nothing. We will continue on as usual.

We’ll get through this together! (She first attempted to post on her phone only to have to get out her tablet instead.)

This whole not being able to post from a phone is sucky. But I bet it has led to much more productivity for a lot of us…

Meh… Not I … not i (little Red Hen)

I’ve found a report from 10/11 for a different forum that seems like the same behavior, and blames it on a discourse-gifs plugin.

There’s an associated bug report, and they advise updating the theme from the admin dashboard. Mambo dogface to the banana patch. Whatever.

Y’all have no idea how many “Well, I think I’m funny” one-line wisecracks have gone unposted because my phone didn’t work and I couldn’t be bothered. Alas. :cry:

Ah, so that explains the issue I was having a couple of days ago.

New question…
How do I change my Galaxy S22 out of desktop mode back to normal cell phone operations? :scream:

Just do the opposite of what you did to get it into desktop mode.

I tried and it’s not working, hence my question.
Edit: I found the check box and unchecked it. YAY ME! :grin:
