Can't Post in Group

I belong to the Alakol Homewners Association and am unable to post in the group.

I can access the group, but when i click in to a topic I can read it just fine but there are no "Post a Reply" boxes.

Note: Yesterday, before I was a member, when trying to see the group I would receive the message telling me could not access the discussions because I was not a member and that group membership was by invite only.

Today, before being invited, I again attempted to access the group page to see if there were any clues about how to apply for an invite. But instead of it telling me I could not access the group it let me see the group discussions, though without being able to reply.

So later today I received and accepted an invite to the group, headed back and for some reason am still unable to respond to any posts.

Thinking maybe it was a simple cache issue I emptied cache and refreshed FireFox to no avail. Quitting FF and restarting also made no difference.

All other groups are working fine for me.

  • This isn't exactly the same, but in the FAQ Group I've found I can't actually start a Discussion there. I can post replies to threads, but there's no +Discussion button. I can post a new thread in the Strategy Group though.

  • Me too in another group (3rd-Party Script / App Testers), I just joined it and can't add a reply on a discussion.

  • I just joined the trading/pre-auction group and I cannot comment on nor post new group discussions.

  • @zeeberk: Weird. I can post discussions and replies there. What a weird bug.

  • It appears that I can post now that I've been approved. Perhaps we need an interstitial to make this obvious?

  • I think "Non-member" was recently introduced as a member type. For some reason, new members are defaulting to that type even if the group was set as public and anyone can sign up.

    @FrankenPaula, I fixed your membership so you should be able to post/respond.

  • Other than the issue ping mentioned - most of these bugs are not actually bugs. They are an effect of the way the Group itself has been set up by the Moderators. For instance, the behavior of the FAQ Group is not a bug, it's by design. An announcement was put in the Group Details yesterday, and a full explanation posted in a couple of places today. Sorry if it confused anyone.

    The Groups appear to be getting much needed massaging and love right now. It's probably going to mean weird happenings as the tinkertools work their magic. This is one of those times where a little patience might save a whole lot of panic :D
