I get a standard message: You may not change this message" and the question Discussion freezes.
Is this some stupid WINDOWS software we have to use in the Apple Forums that eliminate discussions composed on an iOS9 iPad Air?
I have to get on my iMac to ask any discussions at Apple Forums.
iPad Air, iOS 9.1, 32 GB
No special hardware is needed! I'm using a iPad 4 right now. The Forum was down for almost two hours earlier today. That might have been the problem.

I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
Whatever software they use for the Apple Forums is crap for iOS on my iPad Air. If I want to use Apple Forums I have to go to my OS X iMac.
It’s nefarious plot to deny you what you want.
me neither... I had a BRBerror while composing (as I accustomed to seeing) today that faded away normally. JavaScript is a 'touchy' thing.
I regularly post on the forums using an iPad Air. No more than the usual problems with the forum software. I've never seen the error message you describe. At what point in attempting to post are you seeing it? Is it while you're creating a post? Or replying?
The Forum is working un-normally well for me. I say no more least Jive is listening and may misconstrue my praise. 🙂

That would be like the gods of Jive!
I've noticed a couple of "." posts in threads in the last couple of hours so some people must be having the problem with replies not appearing.
TYping in IOS 9 on my pad in the Apple forum always produces double CAPS. See the front of the sentence?
typing in the forum window is a disgusting process On an iPad Air. Better done in OSX.

Yes, it does. The Jive software that runs the forum is not without its issues.
This is one of the crazy things that happen with the forum software. I've seen this for quite some time. Many times, the double cap is also the first letter doubled. This is one of the things that many of us that frequent the forum have learned to put up with or figured out our own little workarounds to before we post messages here. Welcome to jive software.
My current theory is some time after the last Forum changeover Jive has developed self awareness and a rudimentary sense of humor. When you get a glitch it's just Jive playing a funny on you.
Thanks for the heads-up on the reply not appearing problem. That's almost become a new class of glitches, "Zombie glitches." You think they been fixed only to have then spring to lif when you're least suspecting them.
The DubbleCap is a known issue with iPads. The Rich Text Editor is an "add-on" to the SiteWare - Jivesoftware - it is Open Source and I don't believe it has been 'monkeyed with' like the AppleJiveWare that runs the rest.
If I remember AlohaBob's workaround right, he types a SPACE before starting the first paragraph (it only occurs on paragraph one)
Why does Apple Forum not accept questions from an iOS9 iPad Air?
