Having trouble with forum posts

[ Edited ]

All of a sudden, within the last day, I've been having trouble with forum posts. I'm using Ubuntu Linux with the Chromium browser (version 15.0.874.106).

 

Lately, I have the following issues:

  • When attempting to quote a prior post in a reply, I get some kind of scripting error from the B&N site. It goes something like this:

    An Unexpected Error has occurred. We're sorry, we could not complete your request. Our development team has been notified of this error. Exception ID: 1D7BC46
  • When I reply to a post (without quoting), it seems all the embedded HTML that it automatically puts in (I'm in Rich Text mode) is ignored and it comes out as one continuous flow of text. I have to now manually edit using HTML for any kind of formatting, including paragraphs.


[Edit] Discovered it is Chromium specific

I really don't know anything about the OS you are using, but I do know that I get that error message if I try to quote a post before the reply page has completely loaded.  Just throwing that out there.

Thanks, and good catch. I do, though, make sure I wait for the page to fully load (unless I'm missing something and it's dreadfully slow with Chromium). I switched back over to Firefox and it seems to be working fine.
