Well I just hit a new one. When I posted my review of a story, I got a yellow dialogue box that said I did not have permission to post there, and then it said to check cookies and something else. This is the third time I got this action, and when I went back to my comment box, it was empty. So far, all was as before, so I went to the story, but this time, my comments weren't anywhere to be found, unlike the last two times, when, despite the dialogue box and the empty comment box, my comments WERE posted.

I learned a LONG time ago to always CTRL-A and CTRL-C before hitting "Post Reply" to avoid losing comments!

PLUS ONE ON WHAT STEPH SAYS!

It's a system designed to prevent spam -- you can't post twice in a row without a time between the posts, for one. So wait about a minute between posts.

BUT ALSO like Steph says--CTRL+A, CTRL+C before you post. Every time. Because sometimes it still is wonky.

It's not your fault, and it's in place because we used to regularly get overrun with spam by bad actors.
Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

Glad to have seen this.  Unfortunately I lost two reviews I had spent some time on.  Once, I thought it was a fluke, but then I did it again.
