Why cant I post a question?

I'm trying to post a question here. Something I've done many times. I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.

Every time I hit the Post Question button, nothing happens.

My question includes embedded images and has an attached Zip file.

Anyon else having this problem?

You didn’t have prroblems posting ths one.

I’ve copied the URL of this post and have sent it to someone at MathWorks who can look into this problem. It could be a size issue, although that should throw an error. Did you check the sizes of your .zip file and images? Are the image file formats compatible with Answers requirements?

@dormant Can you open the inspect element of the browser and share a screenshot of what error you see in the console when you click the 'Post Question' button?

At times when my network connection was choppy, or during the occasional changes to the forum features, I've had issues getting answers and comments to post. I've often been able to work around temporary issues by posting a dummy answer/comment with something simple like a temporary text blurb and then editing it afterwards. Building a post incrementally also lets you try to figure out whether there's a particular part of the post that's causing the problem.

That's not really an answer, but maybe a troubleshooting idea.

Hi @dormant,

Try again after clearing the cache of the browser that you are using on a good network connection.

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone for your help.

I tried reposting the question. It worked!

I guess I had a choppy network or something.

Again, many thanks.
