Meta Question

Can I post a question?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47050points) June 21st, 2016

OMG, can I post a question from my desk top? (Edit) YES I CAN! But it forces it in to General. Doesn’t give me the option to choose Social.

I haven’t tried today, but..last night it sent me right into “General” too, but…would not let me go to to social or “next”, so, I gave up after about 5 tries.

Well, I figure it will just post in General, and if it’s important enough the mods will move it. This one should be in Meta, actually.

Here is the link to get to the “backdoor” or whatever you want to call it (for folks who’ve been having the same problem)

You got farther than I did. I just tried, entered the question title… and then the next button did nothing.

The backdoor does work. At the end of your posting it does give the 3 options to post.
<3 you @Dutchess_III. Thanks for the link. I knew you were me go to person. :)

Oh, now I’m having problems viewing posts. Post were taking a long time to open and now when I click on them, it tells me there is an internal problem and shuts fluther down. However, I am now using i.fluther and there is no delay or shutting down.

Yeah, I think using that mobile app from the desk top is causing problems all over my everything. I bet it’s not helping Fluther’s server any, either.

Word has it that Ben’s working on it…..when he isn’t saving Twitter. >_<.

Well, I’m getting the hang of it now. It seems to be running smoothly.

I used the mobile app this morning to ask a question, and it worked fine.

The format is bad for me, however. Mobile has no preview, so I had to ask the question and then go back to desktop and reword, rewrite and proofread. I bet I spent better than 10 minutes getting one question, just so.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yeah, but it beats not being able to ask any questions.

ibstubro's avatar

It wasn’t a complaint, @Dutchess_III, just a heads-up.

I someone’s used to regular Fluther, and they can’t stand change, they probably won’t be happy trying to ask questions on mobile.
I encourage everyone to try both, in the name of tolerance – it gives you a better idea where some of those quirks and mistakes come from.

I thought it would be better if we had one “go to” question in meta and drop the several other versions, if possible.
Then everyone will know as much as anyone without having to post/read several question.

I was hoping to see a mod’s responses regarding meta questions in the last few days. Maybe Also anything from the mods in the blog section?
