Posting Problems
Anyone else having trouble getting replies to "take"? It seems that the reply box comes up with a different appearance, then it takes many tries copying and pasting each time to eventually get it to actually post.
And while we are at it, isn't there SOME way to prevent threads being titled using backslashes such as Atlanta/Savannah/Charleston, which results in the left hand column being skewed????

The editors have been notified of the issue - a few of us e-mailed them yesterday. It's not doing it anymore on my computer. Strange.
And in answer to your other question:
It would seem like the Fodors programmers could put a limit on the width of the postings so they would automatically return. I do this with my web site so I'm thinking it wouldn't be a problem. (??)

1. Hit Back Button.
2. Click "Reply".
3. If normal screen comes up, proceed; if weird screen comes up, goto 1.
Lots of replies have been successfully posted in the last few days, so apparently I'm not the only one to figure this out.

GoTravel, the "post" segment slides over to the far right of the screen. Then the "reply" box is hidden. When you try to post, nothing happens. Rather than type a "Reply" that won't go anywhere I have been hitting "post my reply" on a blank "reply box". This "brings back" a "reply box" onto which I then type & hit "Post my reply". Don't ask me how I figured this out! But, it works!

Yesterday I had to do the "post reply" then BACK, cycle three times before the darned thing would actually post.
Now it's up to five cycles of post/back, and I just don't have the time, inclination, or attention span today to deal with it.
Buh-bye, Fodors.

FWIW, I seem to have better luck by clicking on the post a reply at the top, just under the title, than by clicking on the one at the bottom, under all the replies. Of course, as I clicked on it to post this response, I had to hit it twice! I know the editors have been made aware that there's a problem. And they say they're working on it. But this is, what, the third or fourth day now?
