If you get the “pink box” when first posting after login here, copy your text into the cut-and-paste buffer, refresh the thread, re-reply, paste the text into the new reply, and you should be able, to post.

Subsequent postings after the first “pink box” mess should work correctly. At least until your login times out.

Yeah, Apple Community should not work like that. But sometimes it does.

And to expand on that, if you post from an iPad it ALWAYS does that after logging in. To post from an iPad, log in, then refresh any thread. If you don’t you will get a pink box when you post every time. This bug has been around for years, and I’ve reported it many times.
