Comment on Why can't I make posts to the GOG forums?
MoogMuskie@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoI’ve not made many posts to GOG overall, but I’ve definitely made posts with links in it before and I’ve been fine.
Everything on the PC is completely up-to-date and I even tried restarting it. I just tested it now, but for some reason I’m able to post this exact post on my phone from the Brave browser.

Maybe this is something related to your ISP for some reason? Was it still your wi-fi or a mobile internet?

I couldn’t remember if I was connected to Wi-Fi or not on the phone when I made the post, so I made another post to another game page (while connected to Wi-Fi) and it worked just fine. My PC is also connected to the same Wi-Fi as you’d expect.
What I did notice strangely, is that I can make comments on my PC, I just can’t make posts. When I make a comment, I appear to have the same issue where it endlessly says “Please Wait. Processing…”. Except, if I actually go back to the post I tried to comment on and refresh the page, my comment successfully appears. It just doesn’t work that way when making your own post for some reason.

Someone here suggested I check the browser console for errors. I checked, and I get multiple errors in LibreWolf. Image

This looks like an error on GOG’s end. Did you try to delete all cookies and cache (for GOG) and try to login again? Ctrl+F5 should do the trick. I would suspect Librewolf’s strict security but since it happens on others as well, it doesn’t seem like the issue here.
