I know I have heard from others about some times having issues posting within the community where you want to create a blog post or any other kind which does not work.

I had this happen to me today trying to post a blog which I wrote and came across the same issue where I tried - Chrome, Edge, and Firefox to create my post but after clicking the CREATE button at the bottom it just sat there with the three dots circling.

So I decided to investigate what might be causing this issue and found that it was an add-on within my browsers that is common to all of them - Night Eye.  This extension turns sites to dark mode by default, but it was causing havoc with the community site and my posting.

I disabled the extension and tested posting two blogs, which worked almost instantly.  So this in turn told me that this add-on is the problem.  I have since replaced it with Dark Reader for those that like to have dark mode for all sites which does not conflict with posting.

Therefore, if you are one of the few that have issues with posting and have the Night Eye extension installed - try disabling it for a bit, and you will be glad you did.

Happy to answer any questions or provide feedback if you are curious.

I was wondering what all those posts were about 😂

Glad you got it sorted!

Yeah I chatted with Safiya on Teams about it and told her to delete them.  Was great to get it finally figured out.  🤣

I wasn’t even aware there was a extension/plug-in for dark mode. The only one I ever really liked was the “DIM” mode in Twitter. I don’t like “black” modes. The screen contrast hurts my eyes worse than normal viewing modes 😉 Maybe I’ll try one of those out to see how they fair.

Yeah, there are many for dark mode on sites, but Dark Reader seems to be the best.  Night Eye was good but caused too many issues for me on this site and a few others so it is disabled now.

I am the opposite, I hate the bright white sites as that hurts my eyes.  😋🤣
