OK, realized after rereading that youre having problems not just on the old thread. WHat happens when you clilck on "submit a story" or on "reply"?
Note that 1 or 2-ish days ago (i think it was sunday morning), new posting was shut off for several hours because they were doing maintenance on the server. Based on the timing of when you said this problem started, im thinking that perhaps what you encountered was merely due to that. Try again on your computer that you were having trouble with and see if you can now post.
Also FTR, there is no actual limit on posting. However, you are penalized financially on the rewards for your posts if you do more than 4 new posts in a 24 hour periood.
My other concern is that if I get blocked on Facebook again due to my online activism there, how will this affect my ability to access my Steemit account too? I
Authenticating via facebook is just a way to prevent people from mass-creating accounts in order to get the 3 free steem. Once you have your account, its not linked to FB in any way.
OK, i have a quick and dfirty fix until the devs figure it out.
1.In firefox, click on submit a story.
2.Now take your mouse pointer and put it just to the right of the word "active" in the horizontal menu.(up top)
3.Right click and choose "inspect element"
4.It will bring up a window on the bottom with a thing highlighted that says "Ul class=horizontal menu"... right click on that and select delete node.
You should now be able to enter the title.
I suspect theyre working on a fix for this... have no idea why it would be messing up on some computers and not others.
but after that I can't seem to change things with deleting the node but in this view the title bar shows, so I will try post something this way from here and see what happens. I hope it works. Thanks so much again for your help@sigmajin, thanks for your patience and instructions, I tried to follow your advice and I got this far , after I go to inspect element I get this https://postimg.org/image/z88wj2qa1/
On opera, i think its delete element. Anyway let me know how it goes
there is actually a much much simpler way to fix this. When you hit "submit a story" clilck anywhere on the page that isnt in a text box. Then, click the down arrow once on your keyboard. This will make the horizontal menu disappear.
As I explained no TITLE heading comes up when I click on submit a story, so I cannot submit a story from my home laptop, I tried from my tablet too, I would like to get to the bottom of this?
OK, i see what youre saying now... and i see what the problem is. The new toolbar (that says hot/trending/etc) is actually covering up the text box used to enter the title.... so there should be a box where you can enter the text but its covered up... hold on a sec im trying to figure a way to fix it.
