Why does this site not let me Submit a Response to a Q&A Assist Reply that it automatically marked as the Answer when I'm using EDGE on my iPhone 13?

Question

I can on my Windows PC but on my iPhone, the Submit button is totally dead. I've tried waiting, thinking that maybe it was an internet connection issue from cellular data or WiFi, but no luck. Then I email myself the same Response text and Photos, and my Windows 11 PC Submits it just fine.
Perhaps this is an error in the APP's programming?

Answer 1

Let people answer things and give personal help like Microsoft Answers did for decades. This new site sucks.

Answer 2

The behavior is most likely caused by the Q&A platform’s automated spam/abuse filters or a site bug, not by Microsoft Edge on iOS itself.

From similar cases on Microsoft Q&A:

1. Posts can be silently blocked or discarded when the system mistakenly flags them as spam or abusive. In those cases:
   • The user sees the page refresh or the content disappear.
   • Moderators later confirm the system “mistakenly flagged” the posts and restore them.
2. There are known intermittent bugs on the Q&A site that prevent posting under certain conditions or tags. Users have reported:
   • Being told they “do not exist” or being blocked from posting.
   • Not being able to post questions or replies until a moderator restores the content or the post is moved.
3. In some cases, moderators have to manually restore the last version of a blocked post that was killed by the spam filter.

Given that:

• Posting works on Windows 11 but not on iPhone 13.
• The Submit button appears “dead” and nothing is posted.

The most likely explanations are:

• The spam filter is blocking the reply when submitted from the mobile browser (possibly due to content pattern, images, or how the request is sent), or
• A Q&A site bug affecting certain devices/browsers or specific tags.

Recommended actions:

1. Try posting the same reply but without images or with reduced/shortened text to see if it goes through.
2. If possible, try a different tag such as a generic Community Center tag, then ask a moderator to move the thread (this has been used as a workaround for known posting bugs).
3. If the reply still cannot be submitted from iPhone, post a short message from the PC in the Community Center / Site bug or problem area describing:
   • That replies from iPhone 13 + Edge cannot be submitted.
   • That the same content works from Windows 11. A moderator can then check whether the spam filter or another protection system is blocking the posts and restore or whitelist them.

This is not something that can be fixed locally on the device; it requires moderator or platform-side action when the automated filters or site logic misbehave.
