Posting an article--can't!


I tried to post an article on this site. I was told when I tried to submit it that I hadn't posted to this site, but I have.

Not sure if this is a bug or not but if I spend 1/2 hour on an article I am a bit upset when I can't post it. No foul or obscene language is in it. Not sure what's gone wrong, but if I can't get this to "take," I won't bother trying to do this again.

This is your first and only post. You are now required (I think)to post in the new member intro forum before making posts elsewhere. (But then how did you post this??)

Patience will pay off--LQ is the best of its kind

Your first post can be in any forum. What was the exact error message you got?

Something about not having posted before, which wasn't true, but I went and posted this question and tried again. It didn't work. I got another message that it wasn't validated or something like that. I was logged in, so I'm not sure what that was all about.

I tried the same link this morning and it worked this time. Go figure!

There was some promotion for the first 10 who posted articles but I'm sure, because of this glitch, I won't be one of those.

You'll very likely still be one of the first 10, but if you're not we'll extend the promotion to include you as a result of the potential bug.
