Comment on Why can't I make posts to the GOG forums?

  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.
