Stilllearning Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Recently, when trying to add a reply on the Brexit saga, rather than being offered the usual blank reply box to use, I have been given a comment from September 15th to quote and reply to. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? A brief check on a couple of other topics suggests that this is not happenening everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new software seems to save a partially completed post as a 'draft' if you don't press 'Submit reply' it can be useful but it can be a PITA as you have found. I have had to the opportunity to delete it occasionally but for some reason not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eu have infiltrated the forum and tried to corrupt it with their nonsense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Could you have accidentally highlighted some text in that post or clicked on 'quote'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilllearning Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I think that what happened was that I began to reply to something, then just couldn't be bothered, and moved on. So whenever I try to make a comment on the tread, the system bumps me back to the posting I didn't finish replying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it, there's no cancel button if you decide not add your post to the thread. I press F5 (refresh) which seems to do the trick.
