It seems much better now. Thanks M@x

I'm no techie, just some things I might consider trying. Thanks for trying to help. The issue is that I'm not going to turn off things for which I have otherwise good reasons to use. That effort isn't less than using a different browser for PA.

Just some ideas. My main goal was perhaps to try to possibly help to pinpoint the issue itself. Might help M@x and its some suggestions for Hugues to try if he wants to use a certain browser but mostly I thought it might help to pinpoint the issue. It's probably not very helpful at problem-solving or identifying the issue. I like to try to figure out these kinds of things when they happen to me/ try different things. I use various browsers on a daily basis and I alternate between Apple devices and a PC laptop with Windows (plus I have my work computer, but that is solely for work). I commonly found that add-ons/ programs needed some adjusting in settings and did not need turning off. Turning off and on can be a quick way to identify if that is the issue. As for the WYSIWYG post editor, that has given me worlds of problems due to the code/script injection, and was happy that suggesting to others that they turn it off has helped quite a few. Commonly if one has a technical issue, the respondent will ask for as many details as possible, what have you tried etc., what programs are running, settings, versions, to try to find the issue. Just trying/using another browser is easy in this case for the user but does not identify what the specific problem is/ where it lies.

No problem with Edge at work (where I currently am)

I've never had that before on PA, but get it regularly when visiting RYM directly from a link in a list of Google search results. It just happened to me that once. It may be just coincidence that it occurred at around the same time as the forum fix happened, but it does seem to me as though there is a high probability that the two things are linked somehow.

Mine working too.
