One thing you might want to try as a temporary fix is browsing DU from https://upload.democraticunderground.com whenever possible, because it's possible that this is to do with a communication issue between our servers (note that if you use https://upload.democraticunderground.com, you should also see avatars).

Aside from that, we'll take a look into this.

DU goes to Home Page after entering "Post". [View all] LeftInTX Jan 20 OP

Do not use Firefox ItsjustMe Jan 20 #1

I'm using Chrome LeftInTX Jan 20 #3

I use FireFox and nave never had any trouble. brush Jan 20 #11

I have seen many complaints here on DU ItsjustMe Jan 20 #12

Like I said. Never any problems. Browsers are free. What do you mean market share? brush Jan 20 #13

What do you mean market share? ItsjustMe Jan 20 #14

So? They're free. Those graphs mean nothing. If they work, they work. If not just download another one. brush Jan 20 #15

It is happening to me on Chrome so let's not imply the OP is merely the rare Firefox user. hlthe2b Jan 20 #18

It's not happening to me on any browser. ItsjustMe Jan 20 #19

I don't know. Why do you think it is occurring? hlthe2b Jan 20 #21

Making factual statements is not being combative. ItsjustMe Jan 20 #23

And you would be wrong. I am using a Windows laptop. hlthe2b Jan 20 #24

You have stated many times on this forum that you own Apple products. ItsjustMe Jan 20 #25

Yes. I do, but the problem I am experiencing (like at least three other posters) is when using a Win Laptop hlthe2b Jan 20 #26

are you signed in? Meadowoak Jan 20 #2

Yes! It does it randomly. All of sudden I'll be at the front page. I'm not signed out. LeftInTX Jan 20 #4

I was editing this reply and I hit "Post" and it went to the front page. This has happened numerous times. LeftInTX Jan 20 #5

This has happened to me also a few times in the last couple of days JoseBalow Jan 20 #6

Yes, I only see the avatars when I'm replying! LeftInTX Jan 20 #7

Same for me JoseBalow Jan 20 #8

I suspect network problems. usonian Jan 20 #9

I think it's a recent glitch. DU doesn't hang. It simply goes to the home page, very quickly. LeftInTX Jan 20 #10

Just as with the OP, it doesn't hang but simply immediately goes to the home page and one's post is lost hlthe2b Jan 20 #17

Same here and it happens on both Chrome and Firefox. hlthe2b Jan 20 #16

Yes, I hope Earl reads this. I'm pretty sure it's a software issue and can be fix. LeftInTX Jan 20 #20

Yes.. and I am sorry for that other poster who seemed to merely want to hlthe2b Jan 20 #22

I'm not sure what this could be about EarlG Jan 20 #27
