This is a weird one but it happens about half the time. I am trying to post the text pictured below but everytime I hit the post button it doesn't take and the post button goes back to its blue state. Any ideas?
@BlueTsunami
I figured as much. But I was able to post my question with no issues at all. Then tried my music post again and it failed.
@MPCavalier Sometimes it glitches for seemingly no reason. Hope ur able to post cuz it's annoying when that happens...not sure why it affects ur music post. Maybe scrap that message & start again. Good luck☘
@MPCavalier someone recommended if removing the quotes on another post that had this issue.

@Coffee_and_Salt well that actually worked! I wonder what the deal is with quotation marks?
@MPCavalier the punctuation combination does… things. I am very smart.

This is addressed in the FAQ:
When I try to publish my post, the post button doesn’t work…
A: There are multiple issues that cause this problem…
|2. Your post may contain special characters that resemble programming code that hackers use to exploit systems. Check for odd punctuation combinations such as brackets [], currency symbols $, &/or quotations “” &, if found, make some adjustments.
|3. CoSo may be experiencing intermittent issues…

Basically, you can switch quotation marks to "curly" versions like “ or ” (or singles: ‘ or ’) to make the post go thru and keep the quote marks.

Thank you Fern - much appreciated!
@MPCavalier That actually happened to me a few times. Just keep trying, it will post. Maybe leave that screen for a bit & go back to it, then try again. I know it's a pain, but it will go thru (eventually).
