Why can't some jellies ask questions?

Asked by chyna (51598points) April 24th, 2017 from iPhone

I have noticed that some jellies are mentioning in other threads that they can’t ask questions.

Very good question.

To assist the persons who will try to fix this, it would probably be helpful for the members affected to describe the problem including the type of device they are using, its operating system, and their browser.

I do not have this problem.

At work, I’m using Windows 7 with an IE browser. At home, it’s Windows 10 with Chrome. I also use Chrome on my mobile devices, running Android 7 on one and Android 6 on the other.

Oh, this contains different details than I had expected. I had thought that I’d respond that “some of us know it all, already”, but I had not known this. So there’s that.

I think it’s only a desk top problem. I can’t post any questions, but I haven’t tried from my phone. I use Windows 10.

Some of us are just special. Others can’t ask questions.
Or did you ask this question to see if you could ask questions? :-)

Dutchess_III's avatar

@chyna used her phone.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yep. I just posted a question from my phone.

chyna's avatar

@canidmajor Yes, I actually did post it to see if I could.

I am on an Acer Chromebook, running Chrome. I cannot ask questions on my computer or my android phone and tablet.
The phone is from 2010 and the Tablet is from 2016. I don’t know how to find specifics for my phone or tablet.

There seems to be some confusion. Is it that some jellies can’t ask questions due to technical troubles or is it that some jellies just can’t bear to ask questions?

@stanleybmanly Tech problems, iPhone, Android users and some Desktops are A-oKay !

Operator malfunction.

SergeantQueen's avatar

I cannot ask questions on the site. At all. Won’t let me hit continue

snowberry's avatar

I can’t either. I just tried.

Maybe those who can need to step up and post one for those of us who can’t.

I want to ask a Q about the police who beat up Dr Dao. Here’s the link.

Go!

@sergeantqueen. I noticed you made a comment in another thread that you couldn’t ask questions and that’s why I asked this one.

snowberry's avatar

Please? Thanks!

SergeantQueen's avatar

@chyna, yeah. Should I contact the mods or…?

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Yes, contact the mods.

Patty_Melt's avatar

I can post questions okay. If anybody wants me to post for them, I am good with that.

Stinley's avatar

[Mod says] We are having a look at this. I cannot post questions either from www.fluther.com/ask but can using the mobile site – even on my laptop. So if you want to try this, go to https://www.fluther.com/iphone/ask/

Dutchess_III's avatar

It worked for me @Stinley! I was thinking about how you can set your phone to desk top settings or phone settings, and wondered if there was a way to set your desk top to phone settings….and there you were!

tinyfaery's avatar

Grrr. Not fixed yet?

SergeantQueen's avatar

It’s still not fixed for me but I can ask questions using the Mobile link. A mod said it won’t be a priority.

snowberry's avatar

I’m working on the buddy system. When I have a question one of ‘em posts it for me. :D

Stinley's avatar

@snowberry did you try the link I posted: https://www.fluther.com/iphone/ask/? I think it should work.

We are still no further forward getting a resolution to this. No response yet.

Patty_Melt's avatar

How about when we post for someone else, we only give the basic question, and put in details, “posting for…” then nobody answer until that somebody puts their details on the thread.
Anyway, I rarely ask questions, so I am fine with posting for others.
I hope it is fixed soon though, so frustration can be reduced.

snowberry's avatar

Thanks. I’ll use it next time I want to ask a Q.

rojo's avatar

Still having problems asking questions. Can you look into it for me?
Desktop, Win 10

Dutchess_III's avatar

Do it here Rojo. https://www.fluther.com/iphone/ask/?

Clunky but it works.

Stinley's avatar

I can ask questions now. Can people give it a try, if you had a problem? My problem was that I couldn’t move on from the question title section as the Continue button didn’t work. It now appears to be working.

Ben was in over the weekend fixing stuff so I hope he has worked his magic. Let us know.

SergeantQueen's avatar

I can ask questions normally now :)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh hey yay!

rojo's avatar

I can do it. Thanks Ben or whomever put in the fix!
