Trouble Posting Thread: Fix It But Not Why

AI Thread Summary
Intermittent posting issues arise when using a Hudl device on weekends, particularly when multiple pages are open. Users experience a blank page with no cursor visibility, preventing them from typing. Closing other open pages resolves the issue, indicating a potential resource problem. Suggestions include checking system resources via Task Manager to identify if the browser is consuming excessive resources. The discussion highlights the need for troubleshooting browser performance to address the posting difficulties.

I have had intermittent trouble posting links and threads and have worked out how to fix it but not why it's happening (exactly)

The problem is at weekends when I use my Hudl not desk top.
If I have multiple pages open I get a problem posting.
Everything is normal except I cannot see my curser and when I type nothing happens, the page remains blank.
If I close my other pages the problem goes away.

I just thought I would follow up.

Thanks

Hi,
I can create the symptoms you describe if I accidentally pushed the 'preview' button

Is that your problem ?

Thanks for looking into it.
I tried to reply but couldn't because of the issue!
So it's not just posting a thread it's replying too. I am pretty sure I am not changing any settings by mistake or preview.
Pages open, problem, pages closed problem goes away.
It's nuts!
 
Sounds like a system resource - what version of Windows & browser?

For Win 10 try:
You can see resource problems by opening the task manager, click on browser process, look at data.
Create the problem then go back to task manager. You will likely see multiple processes in the process tree for the browser - which is okay, unless your browser is eating resources.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
