I am having a hard time posting to the community.

 

When I try to reply to a post on one of my issues I either get the "Authentication failed" message or my reply doesn't seem to appear at all.

I'll help ensure you're able to post here in the Community without any issues, @bdy-kmv.

 

The first thing I suggest is to check your browser's cache. Old cache in browsers can cause unexpected behaviors. To isolate this, you need to open your browser's private window. I'll list the shortcut keys below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

If that works, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Otherwise, open an alternative browser that's available. 

 

Let me know in the comments below if you have other questions. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Enjoy the weekends!

I cleared my cache and still had problems.

 

I am posting this using Chrome, though I much prefer using Firefox, which is the browser I normally use.

I'll make sure that you can post a question on the Community page using your preferred browser without any problems again, @bdy-kmv,

 

It's my pleasure to walk you through the other troubleshooting steps to solve your Firefox issue. By doing so, you can use the browser smoothly. 

 

Clearing the cache is one of the initial steps to fix the error message you've received. Since the problem continues, ensure that your Firefox is up-to-date for a better browsing experience. To check the settings, follow the steps below: 

 

  1. Open Firefox and display the menu bar. 
  2. Select Help, then choose About Firefox
  3. Make sure that you have the latest release. 

 

You can also use our browser health checkup tool in this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Online, Accountant, Payroll, and QuickBooks Self-Employed. Directly go to the Supported browser section to see the tool link.  

 

Once confirmed and the issue persists, I'd recommend posting your questions in the Community using our other supported QuickBooks browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, and Microsoft Edge) as a workaround.  

 

Additionally, check out these articles below what to do so you never miss a post or reply and other related topics:

Thank you.

 

I checked and my version of Firefox is up to date.

 

When I tried using the browser health checkup tool I got a 403 error.

Thanks for getting back to us, @bdy-kmv. Appreciate the details.

 

Since your browser is updated already, you'll want to contact Firefox Support or check their website regarding this error. They can assist you with the troubleshooting steps that'll help fix the error.

 

Meanwhile, you can use a different browser (Chrome) so you can reply or post in the Community.
