Winnipeg

There will likely be some downtime this weekend as I continue to try and figure out what is causing all our forum woes... No exact time frames, so bare with me.

Figured it wasn't an obvious place for someone just seeing the problems to find it...so posted a link I'm starting to think I might need to export the forum settings into a fresh install to get rid of these problems.... *sigh*

It's a byproduct of the database crash we had in December and I still haven't narrowed down exactly what's causing it...your post does go through (almost right away), it's just the script in Invision doesn't send back the OK signal in the ajax request. So it just sits there forever. If you reload the page you'll find your post has been posted. This has been discussed quite a bit in the admin request thread part trois already.

Yeah, I'm not sure whats' going on with that...will have to take a deeper look.

Shouldn't be...none of the forums should allow for Guest posting as that's just asking for trouble.

I don't have any errors in my hostmaster account...can you ask them what account names they tried to sign up with?

It must be the overall Category for the Clubhouse one...I tried creating a new Clubhouse forum, but it inherited the problem....will have to try moving it to another category and see if the problem continues. Don't have time to try that right now though.

Well...the liking may be slow, but it does complete... I still don't understand the trouble it has, but at least I have a work around for the problem... So the Clubhouse Forum is doing it as well then?

Only a tiny genius I removed the old technical forum before I had a chance to compare the differences...silly me.

Test? HOLY CRAP, I FIXED IT! Seems it's not the Posts, or even the Topics, that were at fault, but something in the Forum itself... By Creating a new forum and moving all the topics to it, it fixed it...for that Forum. So I need people to let me know of Forums that are having the problem, and then I will re-create the forums in question.

Topic Subject says it all.

And Done. Think I'll start a new Admin Request thread...this one is getting long in the tooth at 8 pages...

Until I get the request from Elegarth, I won't be making the change. As for the auto-save feature, I'm thinking it might have been new in the 3.4.8 patch, but I didn't bother reading the patch notes.

One more....although I am not holding my breath...

And another...

This is a Test, please ignore (just need to see a reply POST that doesn't work...so I can compare the AJAX sent vs the threads that are working.) WTF...there is litterally no difference between a working AJAX data post, and a non working AJAX data post... It has to be related to the Database, but I can't find anything wrong with that either.

Another Test And another. . . . *sigh* still no idea why it's doing what it's doing...but I've verified it's not a problem with the Javascript, or Ad-Blocker... The AJAX Query sends the request for the new post, but the server never replies to say "done" so the Javascript just keeps turning and turning...

I didn't realize it hadn't been done based on some other comments...I've updated you now BBD. You still have the DA of WAA group membership as well, but I set the Guardian group as your primary. This is a test

I even tried upgrading to the latest release of 3.x IPBoard and still the problem persists... *sigh*

One more test...see if my latest idea works... No...of course not.

Testing again... Alright...I have no idea what's going on...I'm going to go hit my head against a wall for a bit...maybe have a beer...

You try clearing your browser cache? I can't duplicate it anymore in Chrome or Firefox... I take that back...apparently it doesn't happen while I have the forum in offline mode...but as soon as I put it back into online mode the problem comes back...wtf Testing from Microsoft Edge... So...apparently this thread has it happen, but if I do it from a thread in my super-secret hidden testing forum, it works fine. Only thing I can see that might make it different is the fact that the thread I was using in there was created AFTER our forum fun at the beginning of the month... Can you try it from a new thread and let me know if it still happens in that one for you?

I'm Canadian, but my mother's side is Scottish (MacLeod) and my father's side is scottish (Morrison) and Icelandic (Stephenson). Don't know much on my mother's side as she was adopted at birth, so aside from her mother's name and nationality, we know virtually nothing. My father's side is a bit more interesting...the family lore (with very little evidence to back it up but...) is that William Stephenson was adopted into our family at birth in Winnipeg. Those who don't recognize the name, he is one of the primary inspirations for the character known as James Bond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stephenson Not a Blood relation, but still cool in my books. I only learned of this particular bit 3 years ago...

I've noticed it too, but I'm still trying to recover other databases at the moment, so bare with me. I have a forum update that I need to apply as well so when I get a chance I'll try to fix it. It's a bad time of year for all this to have rolled down...Christmas, 2 family birthdays...work...*sigh*

I would love to be able to allow Guest Posting, but that's just a HUGE invitation for link spam. I'm actually amazed it hasn't happened already. Forum must have been hidden enough to avoid it.
