Experiencing several problems.Not sure if isolated case.

1) posts/ replies emojis replaced by symbols.

2) replies completely disappear after being posted

3) complete post disappears after attempting to add photo and had to sign back into community.

4) on many occasions long delay before post uploads, total limbo.

Frustrating.

I have a new iPhone XR.

Calling, Tbae, calling Tbae, are you receiving me, Alan here in Scotland, I have received your post load and clear, 10/4 over and out. 😊

Not sure what happened.

I am pleased our friend Flick could confirm a similar experience albeit not yesterday.

At least it confirms I am not completely Gaga.🤣

You are never Gaga, I went a short run this morning with that metromone app I have at 170 beats/steps/cadence a minute and the Mapmyrun app on as well, I thought when is this first kilometer going to be announced as I have ran this route many times and knew where the 1 Kilometre split distance were, Alexa the auto voice announced the kilometers by 1.6, and 2.2 kilometers instead of 1,2,3 km as usually is the case, I had only intended to go for a short run anyway before my 5K parkrun this Saturday and a 8K next Wednesday, a little off putting, nevertheless I had a good short run and saw another 4 runners🏃on my trot. 😊

Got it wrong again Jo.

Frightened to use emojis, better just start eating them again.

in reply to Tbae

Emojis come up as squares if you view on incompatible device

Yes.This was a complete mixture.First time yesterday in a reply on Marathon, which I subsequently successfully edited.

Not sure..all seems ok...maybe your phone? X

I think it’s more likely the forum playing up. I’ve had some of those issues before. I have an iPhone XS and haven’t had any of those issues recently so think it probably isn’t your phone.

Thanks Flick,TBH I did not think so.

Experienced some identical issues also with my old iPhone 4.Yes the XS and XR use the same platform.

Hey ho.

in reply to Tbae

I’m not using the same, I’m on iOS 13 as I’m Public beta testing it, but it shouldn’t make a difference anyway 😊

Excellent.But as sold they were launched as a trio XS PLUS,XS and XR 🤔

in reply to Tbae

Yes, but all iPhones will be using iOS 12 at present, unless, like me, you’re beta testing 13, which will be universally available in October.

Yes,as you say all the X’s or 10’s if updated will be operating with the iOS 12.Thanks Flick for the info.I always set phone on auto update.

in reply to Tbae

And it’s the operating system, not the hardware, that would affect things if it had been your phone. I think the forum just gets those glitches from time to time. I’ve had posts disappear, only to show up later 😊

Yes of course the software Flick.

Exactly what you describe yesterday and previously, but never showed up again that I ever noticed.

I do not draft a contribution I think perhaps maybe helpful or of interest to the forum,just construct it and edited as I go, sometimes with references, so when you get a system glitch 🤔 that does not upload it,freezes you in limbo,knocks you off the sub forum ,loses the post,and then you have to re register not just re sign in,that’s a glitch.

in reply to Tbae

At one time I was copying the post before pressing post. Such a pain to lose a whole thoughtfully constructed post!

Yes used to do the same.

Your a wizard Flick vs me a teckie🦕, but I am on the ball to try and avoid the pain of not getting a post uploaded.Generally it is not a quick hi neither.

Hey ho.🤣
