    Hey Abi.

    The same has always seemed to happen to me and I need to refresh the page and then the comment works and the page loads again.

    Me too... and it's been an ongoing irritant for a couple of years.

    I've never liked using Chrome for the forum for the same reason. I've always used Firefox. You're not alone, @Abigail

    I use Chrome and I get the same thing. I don't find it annoying though - it just means you have to press F5 to post, and that's not a big issue at all!x

    Much love <3

    Hey folks :wave:

    Apologies for the delay in responding to this - it's been pretty hectic here since mid-Dec!

    We share your frustration here (we really do). Unfortunately we can't fix the infinite loading wheel issue, but as @Azziman pointed out it's just a case of hitting F5 once you've posted. If it's a particularly long post, it might be good to copy it to your clipboard (super quick way to do that is Crtl+A then Ctrl+C). Then even if the worst case happens and your post hasn't gone through, you've got it saved ready to submit again. :)

    We do have plans to migrate to new forum software soon, which should fix a lot of issues that we see being reported with VBulletin (the software we currently use). Thank you for bearing with us, folks - we'll get there. :yes:

    Mike
