I don't know if this is the correct forum for my question. I asked a similar question several days ago and was advised to switch from Chrome to Firefox, sign out of both, clear cookies, temp files, etc (which I did in Chrome; don't know how to in Firefox), and to restart, all of which I did. And it worked!! But, have tried several times since and cannot reply to a post. Specifically, there is no place available to type. Seems like a 'blank' message is made because tallbm (who was the one I was trying to get to) said "Denny, looks like your message was lost." So today I am on Firefox (because I can't even get this far in Chrome) and found that I can start a new thread--apparently! (Fingers crossed!)

It certainly is possible that I simply don't understand the procedure. I looked for a section of how-to's, FAQs, but found none. I searched forum help for new members and the closest I could come was (so far) 2 posts; one from Bearcarver on Nov 12, 2017 and the other from Smoker Jim on May 19, 2019. Both gave good instructions, involving using + quote. They did not solve my problem. I can see that they refer to replying to multiple posts, which is not precisely what I want to do, but probably should get me there. Again, no field becomes accessible for typing a reply.

I'm the first in line to admit that I may be sublimely dense, but I navigate several other fora without appreciable problems, although I sometimes have to refer to the help section (which I have been unable to locate here--- or is it just more of my density?)

Ever have a day when it seems you should not have gotten up? Kinda where I am. I need help but even with your vast, collective store of smoking knowledge, and your willingness to try, you may not be able to help much on this cyber-nut! Regardless, I appreciate any and all effort!

daveomak--Yes, I see the same screen and I'm signed in, as I have been each time. But that's a very good point as so often we can slog by the most basic requirements! I didn't do anything unusual to get to this point so I have nothing to 'duplicate'. We'll see if it lasts!

But what's really interesting is the fact that I'M ACTUALLY REPLYING TO A POST!! I don't begin to understand, but I'm not quibbling, I'm going back to '
Masterbuilt mes 340g not working at all, with new parts' specifically post #25 in the MES owners forum, and get on with my project.

This PC has NEVER liked Firefox in the last 5 or 6 years (constant crashes), for whatever that's worth.

Whatever has happened, I really appreciate your taking the time to reply and thank you for your consideration.
