Can't post in this forum in Edge
- Feb 11, 2021
You're welcome,
the thing is, the Editor extension adds hidden HTML code to the posts and that's why you get that error in the forum.
it could trigger this error on other forums too if they don't allow them to be posted.
I mentioned this to community mods and they said they are aware of it and contacted Editor extension team as well to let them know about this problem. hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then I've disabled Editor extension.
But this appears to be an Edge problem, not a community problem. The community is working fine for me in Firefox. This is an Edge problem with a website that just happens to be the Edge Community.
I do have Editor extension installed. I'll try disabling it and see if it makes a difference.
I've disabled the Microsoft Editor extension, and as I have to post to test, this post is the test. If it goes that would indicate the Microsoft Editor Extension (well, its interaction with these latest updates of Edge Canary and Dev) is the culprit.
Let's see ...
- DavidGBFeb 10, 2021Steel ContributorOK, that post from Canary worked, so Microsoft Editor it is.
I suppose I'll need to test after each update to see if the problem's cleared, but that means trying to post each time, with the post appearing after it's fixed. I'll test by replying to this topic so the success when it comes doesn't clog up someone else's topic.

DavidGB Looks like it is an issue with the forum, because Microsoft Editor does not cause problems on any other site. I had been seeing this issue since many days and it was driving me crazy!
