PROBLEMS POSTING ON INSTAGRAM

Options
Is anyone else having problems with not being able to post on Insta? Sometimes I can, then sometimes it's impossible. A message says Try Again, but your words are never posted. I only ever tag six people at the most - when sites encourage multiple tagging. But then Insta is, for some reason, stopping you from posting. Anyone else affected? Does anyone know why or if there's a way round it? Thanks.

    Is the error message you're receiving about restricting your activity? A number of us got 'banned' for a few days as we probably flagged as spam within their algorithms.

    I have this problem, it seems to stem from not accepting cookies, so I have to re-Login. Also instead of my usual Firefox browser, I use Microsofts Edge, set to accept cookies but delete them on exit. The same applies to Facebook & Twitter (META). >:)

  • Well, I always accept cookies everywhere on line as it's easy ennough to delete them at the end of the day. I also  tend to keep my AdBlocks OFF as that seems t o upset many sites. It's just happened again - and I've only tagged on person, eeven though the sitesays tag as many mates as you like. No expanation, just : Clouldn't post comment - try again. It's very annoying especially as many of the better competitions are on Insta.

    I got banned today for the first time since advent, I don’t think I’ve been particularly active on insta either, humph!
  • @ally86  But I still don't understand. What's wrong with being active on the site? I would've thought they'd encourage it. And they must know sites encourage lots of tagging as part of competition rules Now I'm reluctant to tag more than two people in case I can't post it and repeatedly urged to 'Try Again'. Madness!
