Problems with posting Replies to the Community comments

I asked a Q and got a Reply and tried to post a response and keep getting a message that too much time has gone past and needed to log in [but we’re talking about a minute or two and I’m still logged in but then I logged in again, picked up the draft and tried to post again — This happened on my Mini/Monterey but also just now on my iPad..

Don't try to click on that "Please log in again to restore your reply" link that you are offered. It won't work.

If this happens to me, I just clone or duplicate the tab....Click the "Reply" button to log back into the communities which many times will include a link to continue my previous reply from where I left off which most times will work. I always re-read the reply to make sure my most recent changes are still applied. An extra step, but tends to work unless the logout was due to a website issue.

Victoria,


If the hosts are re/moving or editing a post that you are attempting a response, this can happen. There can also be a momentary network lapse somewhere between you and the Apple discussions server that can trigger this annoyance. And so can not posting a response in the allowed timeout window. Sometimes, you can click Cancel, and attempt another reply and it will offer to use the contents of your last failed attempt at posting.


And then, there is just an inexplicable trip into the Apple twilight zone where there is no explanation, and this has happened to all of us on multiple occasions.
