This now works, it scrolls so I can see the warning (using add topic).

@matmarex Done. Click on new topic,, type in manually the template for the alert, hit "add new topic", see the animation bars and then without anything intervening it's posted.

I no longer see the animation bars, but the basic problem persists.

Of course. It's fast enough. So I add a topic and see

Then when I click to publish it

No warning to check anything.

The reply button goes gray as does the striped loading animation. That
always happens when I click on reply, the difference being that if it's
actually a reply it still goes through after the delay, if it's a DS alert
I have to click on reply again.
Another interesting thing. I just replied to someone and the result was
that they had made another comment at the same time and my reply ended up
being to their second comment, and as my reply said I agreed with them it
appeared to be a reply to their second comment.
I have no idea how to do a video, and although I often do copies of screens
or parts of screens with an OCR tool, I'm not sure how to do a screen shot
and capture it. I probably used to know before I got the tool I use.

That's not my experience. The first time it happened to me I hadn't given
one for a while.

So that's why the gray. Thanks.

You can't have OS without being a sysop. I apologise for confusing you. As
you say, I should obviously have access to pc review and have always had
it, until I didn't.

It's not, I just mean that it's ridiculous to have OS and CU and not be able to do pending changes. I've been given the pending changes rights since posting here, it will be interesting to see if that makes a difference. On the other hand, I was able to do pc yesterday.

I have OS rights on en.wiki but couldn't revert using pending changes. Ok, I understand priorities, but still.
