Trouble Posting Thread: Fix It But Not Why

In summary, the individual has been experiencing difficulty posting links and threads on weekends when using their Hudl device instead of a desktop. They have found a temporary solution by closing all other pages, but the problem persists when multiple pages are open. The individual is unsure of the cause, but it may be related to accidentally pressing the 'preview' button while typing. They have also noticed that the issue occurs when replying to threads, not just creating them. Another person suggests that it could be a system resource problem and advises checking the task manager for any unusual activity. The individual thanks the person for their help.

I have had intermittent trouble posting links and threads and have worked out how to fix it but not why it's happening (exactly)

The problem is at weekends when I use my Hudl not desk top.
If I have multiple pages open I get a problem posting.
Everything is normal except I cannot see my curser and when I type nothing happens, the page remains blank.
If I close my other pages the problem goes away.

I just thought I would follow up.

Thanks

Thanks for looking into it.
I tried to reply but couldn't because of the issue!
So it's not just posting a thread it's replying too. I am pretty sure I am not changing any settings by mistake or preview.
Pages open, problem, pages closed problem goes away.
It's nuts!

Sounds like a system resource - what version of Windows & browser?

For Win 10 try:
You can see resource problems by opening the task manager, click on browser process, look at data.
Create the problem then go back to task manager. You will likely see multiple processes in the process tree for the browser - which is okay, unless your browser is eating resources.
