Suddenly, I am not allowed to recommend a post.

[raging moderate]

I don't know what has happened. This has coincided with our computer screen suddenly flipping from white background with blue/black type to black background with yellow/white type. Suddenly, when I click on that little button to recommend a post, nothing happens.

4. I'd never tried it before so I just did.

When I clicked it the box turned yellow and the number inside was updated. I’ve never really understood that function but it appears to work for me.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. I rec'd your post.

[billh58]

6. The glitch affects some

but not others. The mods are working on it.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. OK, they don't have to fix me. nt

[ret5hd]

10. They stopped trying a while back.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. Yeah, fuck, they stopped trying in'99.

[ret5hd]

12. The way I heard the story is...

they said “we ain’t got a wrench big enough for that nut!”

[Jarqui]

[applegrove]

13. I rec'd this thread and it worked for me.

[BootinUp]

14. Yeah MS edge app on iPhone no workie. Safari does

Though

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Maybe your computer?

Or cell phone, or however you access DU?

I, oddly enough, do this on a desktop computer, and I just don't have the problems I'm seeing reported here.

For what it's worth, I do have a cell phone. I make voice phone calls and text messages, and that's it. All of my actual internet activity occurs on a computer. Not sure if that matters.

[MadLinguist]

16. Me neither

tried it using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and I cannot Recc.

[Stuart G]

17. I had it for a while, then I was able to recommend your post...a glitch that is gone...?

[grantcart]

18. That only happens when you are trying to rec while simultaneously holding impure thoughts

Haven't been able to rec in years.

[mountain grammy]

19. Me too, but they appear to be working on it

Can't rec your post yet, but it's changed.. screen no longer jumps to top when I hit rec, it just remains still.

[Dennis Donovan]

20. Restart your browser

[MontanaMama]

21. EarlG knows about it and is working on it.

[BigmanPigman]

22. It is happening with most of us.

It is being fixed (Earl G posted it recently).

[Rhiannon12866]

23. EarlG just addressed this technical issue in Announcements:

We are aware of technical issues with site navigation and the "Rec" function

[Bev54]

24. It is working again

[raging moderate]

25. Hey! I can recommend posts again! Thanks for your comfort, everyone!

And the background is white. I am not sure what happened. Apparently Microsoft Edge was fed up with our frequent use of the Google app. Or whatever it is called.

Again, thank you for all your messages of comfort and suggestion.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Huh. Seems I missed the whole episode.

Oh, well. Didn't really need that in my life anyway. I had an entertaining afternoon and early evening, killing time at ER. Fractured ribs, if you're curious. No reason you should be, really.

[raging moderate]

27. Oh, fractured ribs! You poor dear! Take it easy!

Just rest and do as little as possible. You have earned a good rest!
