I'm only suggesting that you try other browsers to see if the problem is the same as I've had.  Not as a long-term solution, for sure.

Last I looked on Weebly you can have a free website.  You only have to pay if you want some of the advanced features, like multiple editors.  But using Weebly might be another test.  If it works on Weebly then the problem may not be with Nabble.

I spent several hundred dollars trying to get Nabble to run on an AWS server and be embedded on Weebly.  And an ex-Nabble person could not get that last little bit to work.  You could NOT log on to the embedded forum with many browsers but could with others.  We were SO CLOSE but could not quite cross the goal line.  Apparently there is just something about the way some hosts serve the forum up that doesn't work.  Some little bit that isn't quite right.

I think that someone that is really well versed in how all of this works could fix it.  But I don't know who that person is.  And since running Nabble on Franklin's server has a short-term future I gave up and found a new forum platform - Invision.  It is a commercial platform with support and it has many features that Nabble doesn't have.  (I'm not taking shots at Nabble.  I REALLY appreciate the free service I've had for the last seven years.  And Franklin would be the first to say that Nabble isn't everything he wanted it to be.)

The guy doing the coding for the migration of all of our Nabble forum said yesterday that he has it working to his satisfaction and we will start testing it this week.  If all goes well we will migrate in another week or two.  But it isn't free.  As said, our migration will be $2000 and the ongoing monthly fee is $55.  But my members have stepped up and are paying the costs.
