I tried to post a question and it won't let me.
Tried again. No luck.

Hi. You may have been logged out and not realized. I just copy the text, reload the page, confirm that it shows me logged in, and retry. Also, check the notes just above your post regarding selecting a forum, and answering all the questions at the bottom of the form.
Me too. I can reply...but I cannot post. Why is that?
You should start your post from a list web page.
And here is the list to use.
What error message are you getting? You were able to post this.
Well, this posted fine. Be sure you ask the question in the body of the post and not in the topic Title. if the latter is too long then it may not be accepted. If you include inappropriate language or words then it will not be accepted. Don't include Crash Reports that contain characters that aren't readable.
You did it here.
What message were you getting (if any) where it wouldn't work?
It's weird. I login, create a new post, press post, and I get a message that says I can't post. Maybe it has something to do with needing to include my Mac info or something. It doesn't say. It just says I can't post.
Let's see if it does it this time.
It would be handy to know why it won't post.
It just said Post Limit Reached.
So, I guess one is the limit of posts.
You are limited to one post per 30 or 60 seconds. Also, you may get timed out if you wait too long (20 - 30 minutes) with no activity on the forums - both of these are security features to discourage spammers.
Is this what you are referring to?
Creating a Playlist for an iPhone: Why doesn't it work?
A long post and then a long second post - so timing out could have played a part and/or you tried to post within 30 - 60 seconds.
What is it that you trying to include in the body of the Question? (describe OR take a screenshot)
I am trying to post as a questions as well, and cannot
The main reasons have been noted above. The most likely is that were automatically logged out during a long enough time of inactivity. If you haven't changed to another forum or topic, it will still say Logout by your name towards the top left of the page, even though you've already been logged out. This is the usual source of confusion. You can confirm that by simply clicking on any topic or forum heading. If you have indeed been logged out by the system, it will now say Login by your name.
MY bad. I probably came up with another question just after I posted the first one and didn't give the server time to digest the first quest.
I'll have a cup of coffee between questions. How does that sound?

Why can't I post
