Is this the most frustrating forum?

Honestly I am getting fed up trying to post on this forum at times when all I get back is an ERROR message. After repeatedly trying to post I have now given up.The technical information means nothing to me and I have no idea how to keep the message and then post it on the forum later.Perhaps this forum needs a major modernisation!

JeanCan you use a 'go back' arrow to get back to your message?  Then Control C to copy.  This will hopefully 'hold' your message while you get back onto the website.  Once you've got back to where you want to be use Control V to paste the message. Well that is what I do anyway.Alternatively if you have Sticky Notes on your menu you can post it on there or Office or Open Office you can paste it on a page to keep it.Yes the forum is extremely frustrating.I agree with not being able to put a post directly under the one you are replying to.It sometimes suddenly decides it doesn't know who you are.

What is really frustrating is the tacky od application used for the messages. It is almost impossible to reply to a mail part-way through a thread and your message simply gets added to the end.Something like vbulletin or InVision PowerBoard (the latter is so cheap it's almost free) would be so so much better.

This has happened to me if I want to post messages on this forum from a public computer such as a library. I can only assume that they have filters on to prevent you from using forums to protect themselves as you will be hooked up to their ISP.I am no expert and therefore don't know for certain, but this could be one reason.
