Greets, I cannot post a new forum question from laptop or desktop computer using multiple browsers, I cleared history/cookies, still doesn’t work? Can only post from cell phone.

We are experiencing an issue with some code on the site. We are asking anyone experiencing issues with posting in the forum to clear their entire browser history and cache/cookies. This should allow you to access and post in the forum again. If you continue to experience issues, you may need to try a different browser to access the Xfinity Forum. 

We are working diligently with our platform partners to get this resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience as we continue to find a permanent solution.

I have the same problem on a Dell Windows 10 desktop.

I also have two HP laptops, one Windows 10, and one Windows 11. I don't have the problem on either one.

It may be a local problem. I don't use Comcast for Internet. I use DSL through phone company.

I've had the same problem on an HP laptop, Windows 11, with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox for several weeks.  Been posting from my phone.

I hate to say it, but it looks like those of you using Comcast for Internet are the ones with the problem. I have no problems with my ZYXEL C3000Z gateway on DLS for Internet.

I'm using Comcast for my internet, and two out of my three computers work fine here.

Maybe the problem was worked on overnight.

The concern is not "X1" help related. Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

@Biff-Tannon 

The only suggestion I have is:

Select the lock icon on the URL line.

Remove all cookies from the Comcast forum site.

Sign off the site for a couple minutes to allow the change to take place.

Sign back on the site and make sure to allow cookies.

This normally works, unless the problem is Comcast related where you live.

Thanks MN,

I’ll give that a shot; however, I have cleared all cookies multiple times. How could it be a local Comcast problem? It’s a webpage, what difference should your location make if the reply box is grayed out?

Also where is official Comcast employee with a resolution?

Many Thanks!
