I can investigate if you can tell me which topic was causing you problems. Might be useful to know when you had the problems, too. My best guess is a browser or network issue, as I've never heard of posting problems that are limited to just one topic. Can't think of any logical reason why that might...

Yes, that is true.

The topic might be locked, to stop people posting to it. Um why? I don't know, you'd have to ask the moderators, if indeed they did lock it. And well if you don't know then we surely don't? You didn't mention which post you were talking about, so I was just guessing a reason why you couldn't post t...

Fixed now.

Yeah, blame Brexit!

It's down to a PHP version upgrade. Fixing it now.

If you've ticked then your browser should store a cookie to let the Forum know who you are next time you come along. If that doesn't work then it's likely that your browser is set to not save cookies between sessions. Ah, I have a slight recollection that phpBB looks at your IP address as well as th...

That's very odd. The first log-in is just a normal page request, except that it sets a "logged-in" cookie in your browser. Every page request after that sends the cookie so you're logged in for every page. Doesn't seem to be a network problem, if everything else is fast, nor a server load ...
