Affinity Forum Website Misbehaving

[Affinity Rat]

This topic doesnt seem to fit any category, so move where appropriate.

Relates to Safari on iPad 16.6

When responding to forum after clicking “Submit Topic” the post doesnt get posted but just disappears.

Go back in to enter another post, and the previous information that wasnt posted reappears. Pressing submit again seems to work, and the page posts. Doesnt happen everytime but recently more often.

It happens to me occasionally in macOS (Firefox) in a slightly different way: After pressing the submit button the editor remains open as if submit didn't work. Then it appears that my reply has been posted but a page reload or redraw issue doesn't display it to me or reload/redraw wasn't executed. Then a manual page reload fixes this and displays the submitted post.

If I reload a forum page while I'm creating a reply, it first reloads with a blank editor window "Reply to this topic...". Then when I access the dialog box, my current text or last edit is displayed and can be resumed and submitted. This allows me to even leave this page, e.g. to read another page of the current topic or select a quote and continue with my response.

There are some glitches with this forum in Safari but the issues are out of Serif's hands as this forum uses the Invision forum platform. Serif can only report them to Invision.

I use Safari as my main browser and the issue you are reporting has happened to me only a couple of times. There is another glitch that happens to me a lot (deleting selected text doesn't always delete).
