Support - Missing Posting Authority
While trying to post a new article, I get an error that I'm "Missing Posting Authority".
Because I can't tell if it's something in my post that's causing the issue, I'm trying one without html.
Anyone who's had this issue able to help?
Thanks
we just ran into the same issue and in our case we had a ü (german umlaut) within the square brackets of an image (the alt tag) like so ! [müll] (https..image-url..) (without the spaces of course)
changing it to "muell" solved it (that's german convention, any "normal" latin characters should work)
you have to delete additional characters
So it is something in my post. Ugh... now to figure it out. If anyone has some insight, I'd appreciate help. Thanks!!
Testing tags in posts #notanotheraveragearticle
Thanks for trying to help out. I found the issue. After pouring through the html repeatedly, using different conversion tools and otherwise banging my head against the keyboard, I started looking for possible character conflicts.
In my image descriptions, I used the enya (ñ), because that's how it's spelled. Apparently the html on Steemit doesn't want to recognize it or something. It'll recognize it in text no problem. But when it was part of the image url, it caused an issue. Odd error code for it, but glad that's behind me. :)
100% that was the issue. I had that character on Jalapeno and bc i copied it and pasted the word it didn't work. I've used it a million times before and never once had that issue until today.... thanks for the help tho! Sincerely appreciate it!
How ironic. I never had the issue until right now either. A quick google search led me to this post and I see you commented just 7 minutes ago with the same issue....
There might be something goin' on.
Ya that's how i discovered the solution !
It's a glitch of some sort, because I have been posting this:
Sign Up to Mene for $5 towards 24K Gold Jewelry
at the bottom of every single one of my posts lately (usually there is an accent on the second 'E' in Mene), but today they made me take the accent off in order to send it through.
you can insert it by editing after posting in both blog and comment... just tired that
I have the same problem guys, but don't think it is an enya
could a % amidst the picture link be the same problem, whatcha think?
I think that could be very possible. It seems like some symbols are having issues. Hopefully it will be fixed and back to normal soon
Happening to me too and I only have text and photos using the uploader in my post.
Hmm, any odd symbols within your links or image code?
Nope, and it posted fine about two hours later LoL
Weird glitch!
Heh, look what's on the blockchain. Nice to see it helping folks. :)

I had this issue too i fixed it by either re-logging in with the correct key after i changed it. or it was fixed because one of my tags had ( / ) within it which might have caused some problems with the html. either way thanks for this discussion and tips.
One other thing to consider is that if you are doing this programmatically, be sure that you are using the correct chain_id - mainnet vs testnet
Since this comes up first or second in some searches, I figure it is good to note that here.
I had the same issue. Trying to see if I can post comment.
i am tring too~
Hey @anotherjoe, it sounds like you are not logged in with your posting key. Which key are you using to log in?
I was able to post this. I think it's something in my post itself. But no matter how much I edit it, it still won't post.
I just exit the screen and head back to my blog, then, when I return to "submit post", I click "post" and it usually lets me. I haven't personally had this problem in a week or so, but it was a pain when I did. Otherwise, try relogging into your account with the master code (password) to get the access to the posting password. Best wishes!
Since I was able to make this post, I can't image it's the posting password is an issue. I'm thinking it's html now. I asked in the forums, and someone told me it can happen. But I just can't track it down. I've changed browsers, restarted, etc., it's just not cooperating. The html isn't complicated and it's all responding in the preview just fine. It's just not letting me post. :/
I think if it was a permission issue, I couldn't even respond here.
Good point. I have no further advice that would be valid on this issue then. But, if you ever need me, know that you've got another weed in @papa-pepper.
Since you can make replies, why don't you check out THIS POST I just made.
If you can tell me what wild edible plant (besides stinging nettle) is in photo #3, I'll transfer you 1 STEEM Token immediately. (I was hoping to get my last winner before going to bed).
thx
Yes I am having the same problem for a week now...
Same problem
me too.
no solution yet :(.
try without emoticons
I think this is the problem here
no, that's not it.
I tryed another post with links again and it didn't work as well. no emoticons

first I couldn't comment as well
log out and log in and then restart browser. after that it worked.

here I found the solution for me, comment of ace108, it was the tags
had to type instead of copy paste them
I have the same problem and I fixed it by relogin.
Just had the Same issue, it was a special architecture hidden as a space.
