It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

African_wildlife: The issue still appears once in a while. I can't currently post a thread, see the image. Like the OP I can't start question topics.
Firefox 53.0.2

[url=https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere ]HTTPS Everywhere[/url] has nothing to do with this issue, I've disabled the addon. I started Firefox in safe mode (all addons are disabled), still can't post threads. Comments can be submitted.

paladin181: Do you use an ad blocker or script blocker? Does the problem occur when you use Firefox in Safe Mode (Hold shift when you open Firefox)?
Please read my post again.

I have this problem with IE 11.
If it was a problem with a blocker, then you could not post to the GOG forums ,period.
The problem people are having is that they cannot created new threads...it says it is processing them after you push "Post My Message" and never gets beyond that. But I can post replies to existing threads fine. It is only starting new threads where this problem happens.

My post stands. There are different scripts at play for creating a new thread vs responding to a thread.

I see. That answers that Weird. I'm using the same version of Firefox and have no problems posting threads. Are you using the EME free version of Firefox or the standard version? x64 or x32?

EME is actually disabled, 64-bit. I will try with a new profile, Firefox's profile manager didn't work as I expected.
I can now create threads again. I haven't restored Firefox default settings and I even have all third-party scripts blocked with uMatrix.
I wonder if the issue is caused by spam protection.

The same issue plagues me again. On multiple days, using two different browsers (the other is nearly unmodified Edge) I've tried submitting my thread and the pop-up window gets stuck:

It's happening to me too now [not always; inconsistently]. And forum & community wishlist keep randomly breaking; as if I weren't logged in. So the buttons to send a post are grayed out, and trying to vote on fishlist gives me a login popup which then throws me back to front page.

EDIT: actually when I'm not "supposedly logged out", the window to post messages or new threads may get stuck but the thread gets nevertheless created.

For a while today I couldn't reply to other posts. So there seem to be some bugs about again. Now everything works again on my side. So perhaps this 'no question threads' is a bug as well that will disappear again. If something doesn't work, just try again later (and, of course, notify support). The forum is a broken mess and there is no predicting what might or might not work on any given day.

I have that issue right now too. I'm trying to post a thread asking how I install Brutal Doom Extermination Day but the message post window gets stuck "processing image" and refreshing the main forum page doesn't work.

Exactly the topic that I was searching and I would really appreciate if someone could help.

I can add whish or new post BUT EVERY TIME that I want a new topic it don't work and froze.

So it's not the setting, not the os, not the connection, not the add on, don't seems to be the browser and even WITH THE GOG CLIENT it don't work.

I tried everything possible BUT it seems that (by checking the previous reply) it happen only to those who get firefox at least 1 time. Could it be firefox who corrupt something and then disturb other browsers.

Just would like to add that the gog 'post topic' seems a few out dated (could be a security bug, firefox is really ennoying with this). But some thing make it froze and I don't know what.

Please if someone bring someone help it would be nice.

Could be a bug, spam filter, or something else. If this keeps happening, I suggest to contact support:

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to fix it by myself but yes I will ask to the support if I don't. I'm not sure what could they do. It don't seems to be a spam filter because I should not be able to post and I think that way more people would have the problem.

It really look like a security problem with the browser but even with an other it don't work. And I tried so much setting, I don't know.
I have the same issue. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.
