I can post anywhere else, but when I try to post a message on a feature article feedback thread, it just doesn't show up. Have I been banned from posting there or something? I can't see why, as I have always been a respectful poster, but this issue is confusing me.

Your only current ban, is for your signature.

Try refreshing the page after you post a comment on the article.

I tried that. Have tried in firefox/chrome/IE, and refreshing after posting with no success.

As for my signature ban, first time was for the link from my banner as well as the size. I corrected and had the sanction removed. Second one was from having two CPU-Z validation banners, I corrected and the sanction was removed.

Has there been a third signature ban that I haven't been made aware of? My last PM from staff was notification of the removal of my second signature sanction.

Your sanction history is showing a current signature ban. Which is weird, because it's still displaying a signature.

Do you get any kind of error when you try to submit a comment? Watch the post count, and the points total before and after you try and post. Do either increase? Mind you, it may take a few minutes for them to update.

No error at all, just a page refresh that usually accompanies the submission of a post, but with no post showing up. None of them have, checked the thread I was trying to post to. I have been receiving points for my posts in the forums today, but have not received any points for my attempts at posting in the article response threads.

You have javacript enabled?

Can you link one of the articles you tried posting to?

Specifically, it was the PS3 HDD article that I was trying to post to. Btw, the PS3 prices listed in that article are not right :p

I have javascript enabled on all my browsers.

I tried again a few minutes ago with the same result.

You can try resetting the browser defaults.

Maybe create a test user login to test your browser settings/profile.

I was just able to post on that article with no problem, so it's not an issue with the article.

I was able to post from another account (JofaTEST) so it is definitely account related.

Have you tried clicking on the comments link under the feature to go directly to the forum thread itself and commenting from there? If that works, it could narrow down the issue a bit.

That worked, I can post if I few the response thread in forums, and not on the front page. The post shows up in both forum and article. I just can't post directly from the Article it seems.
