I got the same response when I just tried to post my first question to the forum.
I hadn't finished filling out the fields below my post description: what community you want to post to, etc.
Don't know if that's your issue but maybe that will help.

THanks Curly. It worked the fifth time I tried.....but I'd filled in all the spaces. Highly annoying.
You might have encountered the +/- 30 minute automatic logout "feature" - if this happens again (which it does to me), simply log out and log in again.
THanks Babowa. Will bear that in mind next time.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
Start an auto reloader. Thanks to ChitlinsCC.
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
- Safari = SafariTabReloader
- Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
- Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center

Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:

6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:

For Safari

7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.
THanks so much for your input. Have saved your reply and will refer to it as necessary. Appreciate the help.
