Trouble with posting

[kyoutenshi]

Most of the time when I hit 'post entry' or 'post to this community', I find that the 'box' under the one where I write out my entry is usually blank. I have to refresh at least a couple of times to be able to add tags, display a mood, etc.

It's just happened again when I tried to post to this comm, and it's a little annoying, to be honest.

Any help or ideas, please?

Are you using IE? We have it at work and it's horrible for trying to update. :(

Specifically, this applies to IE6. My IE7 at home works fine.

As a workaround, The Celerity site scheme works okay for posting under IE6, and I'm told well as Lynx / light as well.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. Luckily, I've found a copy of firefox I must have downloaded ages ago because I've never used it as far as I can remember. Still, that'll help a lot when I'm at the library or somewhere else with a slightly iffy browser, so thanks a ton.

I've got IE both at home and the place I go to study. I'm using firefox right now (for the first time ever), and the problem seems to have gone, so I think you're right.

What adalger said - I noticed that I have problems to edit my entries (IE 6) and they tole me to switch the broken pages to lynx, adding "?usescheme=lynx" to the end of every link or to changed the site scheme in the settings to lynx now (http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=display), that helped.
Parts of the page were blank before, now they work / are visible.

Managed to do it through using a different browser, but this'll still be useful when I'm out and about, so cheers.
