I can't reply to anything.

I've had to hit "add reply" twice on occasion, but I assumed I was just messing up

It's busted.
 
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
No, you can. You just don't THINK you can, so you wind up replying eighteen times.

I was having the same problem, and may still be.

Here goes...

Now, why would you think you're messing up?

I can't seem to post.

See what? I don't mean you.

I had a thing happen that I'd never seen before. I wrote a reply, clicked "Add Reply", and watched the browser spin. Eventually I got tired of waiting, stopped the browser, and just went back to surfing other people's posts. About a half hour later, my post appeared. It was definitely not there when I first resumed surfing (well, actually, it could have been, but the thread's post count didn't change for about a half hour).

It's SLOW. But it works. What's happening is that people don't realize the server has seen their request and hit "Post Reply" some time later, usually too late for flood control to prevent their double -- or triple -- post.

The other odd thing is that there is a rather long delay between the time you push add or edit, get kicked-out with 504 error, return to the forum, then see the edit or reply.
 
Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :
 
Yeah, it seems to be at least a little buggy.
 
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
 
There seems to be about a 20 minute delay between the post time and the time it appears in the forum. Is that possible?
 
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
 
It's Squicky vs. Bizarro-Squicky.

'Me reply post you, Squicky!'
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Well, Tom, I kinda notice that now.
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
oh, there's just a really long delay, that's the problem
 
Posted by kmbboots (Member # 8576) on :
 
Tom, that is my experience, too. I fought the urge to hit reply more than once. My post showed up only once. So Far.
 
Posted by Aerto (Member # 8810) on :
 
Porteiro: Just hit reply once, wait a bit and then go back to the message board. Your replies should then appear after a while. Hitting add reply multiple times doesn't do any good.

Happened to me once already. Today is Patience Day on the Hatrack Webserver...

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
Not that simple, Tom. I have replies that I only hit once that still haven't shown up.

(In other browser windows.)
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
Actually, I'm finding that hitting reply multiple times does help.

My posts get multiplied, but they go through faster.

As a test, I have another reply pending to this thread that I typed up about ten minutes ago (4:11) that has not posted yet. Let's see if my multi-post of this reply gets through faster.
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
Hmm . . . actually it would seem that hitting the reply button multiple times pushes your earlier replies through faster. I have posts that have been hung up until I try to post something else in the same thread--to to double post.
 
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
 
its very strange ... I accidently posted something 3 times. At least this alleviates my embarassment to know that its not only happening to me.
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
I clicked the button to save an edit at about 2:35. The edit time is 3:08. My clock is within a minute of the forum's.

Weirdness.
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
My 4:11 reply went through the moment I hit reply on my 4:22 post.

Interesting . . .

Well, ok then. Yet another example of "I don't know what the heck I'm talking about." Still, multiple posts are annoying. (Please let me be right about that, this blind squirrel needs to find a nut)

That's baffling. I haven't double-posted yet, but my posts are still obviously showing up. Perhaps hitting "add reply" in any thread has this effect, even if you're not waiting on a post in that thread?

Testing Tom's theory at 5:07.
 
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
 
Well, I haven't been able to edit or delete anything, so

I've deleted the test sentence which was above completing the 'so' and edited in this one
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
That may be, Tom.
 
Posted by cheiros do ender (Member # 8849) on :
 
If it seems to take forever to load, that's the loading to the "thank you for posting...." screen. Today, at least, don't bother waiting until it's finished loading if it's taking for ever (like in my experience where I had 5 posts in one [Blushing] ), and don't click more than once. It's not worth deleting them all afterwards. It will show up in a few minutes after you've closed off.
 
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
 
So everyones running up there post counts today by posting the same things multiple times. lol. When you do that and then delete the posts does it still show up on your post counter thingermajig?
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
Unless the latest version of the forum software has changed this, then yes, it does count.
 
Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :
 
Yeah, it does count. Just tested it.
