Can't say I know a solution, I contacted steemit support on facebook as it was suggested on another post but no reply. Just try waiting it out is my advice, sorry its not very useful.
Update 2: I can only post from my desktop PC, not from my phone tablet or even laptop. No problems with desktop PC page just won't load on anything else
I still can't post from my computer it's driving crazy!!! why won't Steemit help us???
Today is 07.01.2018 and my Steemit account is suddenly working again as if nothing ever happened?!! I just logged into my desktop computer and tried Steemit and it was back to normal, I never did anything to fix it. Steemit account is obviously just a buggy system.
Have you tried downloading esteem app or using busy.org?
I am new, will not allow me to post anything. The post button is gray. Any solutions? I only use lap top
I think just waiting awhile (20 mins minimum) and then trying again and repeating until it works, steemit is a bit buggy. You could try 'https://busy.org' it is is a different (and much better imo) UI but all posts are linked with steemit so everyone can still see them.
Which mobile browser are you using? Have you tried downloading the esteem app, or tried busy.org?
I don't use my mobile phone, I use my desktop computer and the browser is Google Chrome, which has been working fine until recently. Anyways my Steemit account is working fine today, so the problem is obviously with Steemit's server and NOT with my desktop computer.
Yea they have problems sometimes. You can also try chainbb.com for more of a forum style.
