Why am I not able to reply to my community post thread?  

Each time I attempt to respond, I receive a message that says Authentication Error, failed authentication. I also have to login multiple times. Even though I am already logged into the site.

Receiving error messages while responding to Community posts can be time-consuming, @dso0216. Let's work together to figure out a solution and make sure you don't encounter it again.

 

This behavior is usually the result of outdated or corrupt cache files in your web browser. Fortunately, we can clear them in just a few easy steps.

 

We can start by signing into your QuickBooks Online account using a private or incognito window. This mode works by removing local data from your web browsing sessions. You can use these keyboard shortcuts to save time:

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
  • Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N

 

Once signed in, reply to your community post again. If it fixes the error using an incognito window, return to your regular browser and clear its cache to start afresh. Alternatively, you can use other supported browsers.

 

Moreover, you may visit our QuickBooks Online Help Articles page. This contains useful information about account management, invoices and payments, reports, taxes, and more.


I'll be here if you've got additional queries about replying to a post here in the Community forum or any other QuickBooks concerns. It's always my pleasure to be of assistance. Take care.

@dso0216  I run into this issue all the time.

 

What works for me is to log in to the community, then close the browser.

 

When you revisit this Community, it will have the Sign In button showing, but it should keep you logged into the Community itself. No problems with posting at all.

 

I'm doing it right now, actually.
