We have a thread about this here.
http://www.alien-ufos.com/Testing-t20987.html A few of us appear to be having trouble posting in some, but not all threads. When we press post new topic, we get a white screen? Is it a messed up flood control? -------------------- "A Wise Man looks at a grain of sand and sees the Universe...

I have found the white screen appears when quoting sometimes. In particular if you try to cut and paste any text from an outside source. The other day I tried to include the words from that hip hop song, I got white screen after white screen. In the end, the only way I could reply was to remove the text from the lyrics site. I had even removed formatting and saved it as a text file then cut and paste. 22 and I had a similar problem with quoting in PM's as well which I posted in a thread but got no real response to fix it. I also have problems with view new posts, Often it returns errors there. I like the layout of this board better than the old one but hell its full of unresolved bugs.

I know I had some cut and paste in a couple of my white-screen posts, but I don't know if it was in all of them. I keep an eye out and see if that's the problem. I'll keep you posted.

It would appear to relate to using copied and pasted text.

Yes. I get it repeatedly in one particular thread, which I am unable to post a response to.

I tried to type out my response again in the same thread without any quotations or copied text and I still got the same problem. It would appear that neither of those is necessarily a pre-requisite to having it happen. It can also happen when editing posts. I tried to circumvent the problem by typing a one-word post and then editing in what a I wanted to write, but that didn't work either. Where on earth have the admins disappeared to?

Yes I got around it to a point that way in the hip hop thread. I made a one word post then cut and pasted from another session my message into it, saving and editing as I went one block of text at a time. It worked fine until I tried to include the words from the song which I got externally.

I have been trying since yesterday. I have a post copied to Notepad that I have been trying to post. I even removed a quote and typed it out again in the window so that there was nothing copied, but it doesn't make any difference. A short post that says nothing useful will get posted, however. |

I'm not going to use this forum any more until this problem has been fixed. There is simply no point in writing a post longer than two lines with no reasonable assurance that it will get posted.
