    Hey,

    I have a few problems with Unity answers.

    First of all for the moment I am not able to submit any Question (see first image attached) :/

    And secondly I am unable to find any buttons to format my text in Unity Answers (see second image) nor to comment on any question or answer :/

    While the formatting does not work on Unity Answers it works great in the Forum.

    So at least for the formatting question I can say that it has nothing to do with my computer or browser as I tried it on mac with safari and on windows with firefox and explorer and on non of those configuration I was able to get it working.
    I think that the problem might actually accrue due to the ' in my username, but I can't change that so it would be great if somebody could provide me a solution :) Bildschirmfoto 2014-08-28 um 14.43.36.png Bildschirmfoto 2014-08-28 um 14.43.08.png

    Hi,

    You contacted support about this, it seems like you've posted questions since you posted this, are you still experiencing errors?

    Yes I still experience this.

    I found a workaround by logging out of my Account. Then writing the answer and then press answer. Which will then just ask me to sign in and post it.

    I use the same procedure for posting answers. But the workaround doesn't work for comments and it is quiet annoying.

    I can reproduce that error on any device I have :/

    Just so I have this right, it's not when asking questions, just posting answers and comments?

    No.

    The problem is that when I am logged in, I'm unable to do anything.

    If I log out, I can write the question or answer. So then when you want to post the question/answer the system will ask you to log-in and if the log-in is successful, it will post the question/answer. <--- that's the workaround I found, which is really annoying.

    So that workaround works for questions and answers but not for comments.

    Also when I am logged in I am unable to see my "last activity" or so.

    So logging in with my account seems to cause trouble to the system. If you want to reproduce the problem just log in with my account (in case you need the passcode just pm me). But my guess would be that the error is caused by the ' in my account name.

    Can you take a small video showing what you see. Post it somewhere, and let us know where the video is. We'll work with dZone who host/manage the site for us to get you sorted. Sorry you've had to wait, and not had a solution. (dZone are in the US, and it's Thanksgiving, else I'll ping them right now for you.)

    I'll post a video or screenshot collections as soon as possible. I'm currently finalizing a project so I need to find some time to make that ;) thanks for your help.

    Hi!
    The issue is still being looked into, but could you provide me with screenshots of your JS console every time you are trying to access the specific sites/performing the actions?
