The other day while I was posting away I got stuck with this message:

RPCError: missing required posting authority:Missing Posting Authority metzli

The letters were not that big but they sure were red.

I panicked.

I double checked my passwords.

I double checked my SP and my SBD and my STEEM.

I almost cried.

Who do I go to for help? What does this mean? What do I do now?

I calmed down and found the answer

If you ever get this message it simply means that you are using a symbol on your keyboard that is not supported on steemit.

For me it was the degree symbol. On a Mac if you press option-shift-8 you get the cute little circle next to your number that means "degrees." That symbol is not supported on steemit. For me it translated to an error message that said:

"RPCError: missing required posting authority:Missing Posting Authority metzli"

If that ever get this message stay calm. It has nothing to do with your, password. Check your words and any symbols you may have used, check your HTML coding (if you use that), and hopefully you will find the problem.

For me it was the little degree circle.

I too would have entered the panic, it was good that it was nothing. regards

I was sooooooo upset. Then I was laughing at myself. That little degree symbol...

Oh yeah... I remember that night, I was puzzled but I just decided to go to bed instead and see what will happen the next day, luckily I found out from discord it was just a glitch that night. Phew...

haha I have had soooo many panic moments over steemit over the last year! The amount of times I have rewritten a post because it has been lost or I have pressed the wrong button! xD
