Hi Sylvia,

Do you mean a message on the boards or a PM? What's the symptom? No reply button?  Huh

Is it on topics that are locked, maybe?

Locked topics have a little padlock showing:

Cannot see any padlock.

This seems to have happened before and then I log in and it seems to work.

This time it has not.

That's partly why we discourage people from posting very large images - it does trick quite a lot of people!

Hi Tati and Arranroots,

I guess that sometimes a large (scrolling) image is unavoidable.

But it's a real pest if reading replies also requires one to scroll ...

So I always try to fit a reply to such an image into the size of a standard screen.  And I wish other RootsChatters would also do this.

It's not hard to do - just hit return at what seems to be a relevant spot and then check the result in Preview and adjust as appropriate.

Anyway, just a thought.
