I am trying to submit a question to Stack Overflow - but the "Post" button is doing nothing. I just posted a question two hours ago; is there a time limit? The odd thing is that there is no indication if this is intentional or something weird - I'm betting it's intentional because:

  1. I submitted a question two hours ago just fine.
  2. I switched browsers and it's not working.

I seek enlightenment.

Touching the ask question page is treacherous.

For others who have this question, there is also the possibility that you've typed a string of characters that Stack Exchange rejects.

For example, this file header data:

If attempting to edit an existing post you will most likely see an error:

If posting for the first time you may not see any indication of why you can't proceed.

Usually enclosing characters in backticks is enough to let Stack Exchange know not to try to interpret a string of text. But apparently there are exceptions where backticks don't work.

  • I click on the button "review your question" and nothing happens. Can you help me? It only save my question as draft.

  • @Feuergeist After reviewing your question, normally you will see a button at the bottom to post. Are you not seeing it? Is it possible your question contains disallowed characters?
