The only fix (for me) is to use TextSoap on macOS (Scrub) or a free product on iOS called Text Case. The forum is bugged, no one seems to care about fixing it. This has never happened in the past, so there's no reason why we should have to jump through such hoops. But hoops do exist.

The last time I wanted to reply to a post, I got an error message, not the first.  I managed to post the screen shot in this thread, wondering why I bother.

I have just tried to reply to a post in the Printers section, from someone with a profile problem on their Canon Pro-300 printer which I also have.  Again I got an error message (attached) on trying to post.

Much as I would like to contribute, it is a waste of time.  This has been going on too long for others as well as me.   It seems that this site cannot cope with posts using the standard procedure from an Apple iPhone or an iMac, both using the latest OS.  If it cannot be fixed, then I am not trying any more posts, however much I want to be part of the community. 

Until I have proof that the problem is fixed, I will go elsewhere.  Such a shame given this site's history.

I wonder if anyone at Lula will read this.

The history thus far is no one will fix this recent (6-8 month old) bug. It has to do with text formating. I've overcome this bug using TextSoap (Scrub) to remove whatever characters cause this sillyness but I should not have to do so.

альтернативное решение, пока успешное, состоит в том, чтобы опубликовать сообщение на русском языке, а затем либо предоставить читателю возможность использовать Google Translate, либо быть добрым и опубликовать текст на английском языке непосредственно ниже. [/лицо-ладонь в недоверии]

[Manoli]

An alternate solution, so far successful, is to post in Russian and then either leave the reader to google translate or be kind and post the english text directly below. [/face-palm-in-disbelief]

IS THERE ANYBODY HOME ??

IS THERE ANYBODY HOME ??

All users speak and write Russian, so no one is interested in fixing these problems.

They are Aliens!

Hello!

Alien here.   .   Help is on the way.

 LuLa's officially changed hands in the last week.  Thank you all who helped and supported us in getting it done. 

With that being said - I'm excited about going forward.   Lots has been going on behind the scenes with improvements.  The forum is a tricky beast - we're working through the technical difficulties.  Hopefully the doing away with the ads has helped our experience.

Have the posting been easier in the last week?   

As for alien abductions...There's a longtime LuLa friend lurking here that will be moderating here for us.  It's been a struggle to get the permissions restored.  I'm looking forward to getting us back on track.

Thanks

As of RIGHT NOW:

Indeed, still broken.

Indeed, still broken.

And then when you try to edit the post to remove any potentially offending character, you are told you already posted! Grrrrrrr.

I an trying to post in the for sale section. I can post a title, but no body copy or attachments in the message, get a database error.

[mitchino]

I have managed to post, but had to avoid using any numbers in the message, or it could have been a pound sign that caused the error.

I got the error posting yesterday. Hopefully, *today* is a different story.
