Long Post takes forever to send

[sakumar79]

Hi,
I have noticed a couple of times (in this forum) when I want to post a reply or a new thread and have a lot of text in the message, the submit command takes forever to process and often I am left with error message... Have others faced this problem? Any idea what may be the cause of the problem and how to sort it out?

Yes me too. I was facing this problem when i used opera. now also i use opera but i mask it as IE of FF. Still sometimes it happens. And sometimes, it won't send at all. Just remains @ the page.

True.

Well in that way any other forum software is good. For Ex: PhpBB or Mybb, etc.

MYBB and PHPBB are the most max used forum soft.

I think this is not vBulletin. I am member of lots of forums powered by vBulletin and only Digit has this problem.

Or if it is vBulletin, then it is an old version which has many bugs.

Yeah, thats a possibility. The forum is running on old version, i dont know why Digit didnt upgraded since there are so many security fixes

Digit on Version 3.5.4
Latest - vBulletin 3.6.7

I generally use Opera 9.2 these days (before that, it was 9.10, before which it was 9.02 and before that, well, you get the picture )...

But I also tried it with IE and had the same problem... Whether you go for quick post or advanced post...

if i post anything using my iceweasel(FF),this forum hangs!ie,it shows a busy thing like about to post,i have to check the thread again to see that what i've posted is there!go,upgrade to latest vbulletin @least its got updates for subscriptions.

Yes. It happens with all browsers. But for me it's not dependent upon the amount of text in the reply. It just happens every now & then. It appears like sometimes the script of reloading the page misses out. While it hangs up, just try >Open in a new tab....your post will already be there. So it's just the matter of reloading the page fails sometimes.

This problem happens with me every now and then.
What you have to do is to immediately stop loading the page when this happens by clicking on stop button. When it stops, again click submit reply. A notificationb will come that this post was posted recently.
This should be done within a minute.

Click on the thread title above and you can see your submitted reply.

What happens is Vbulletin fails to send the reply received acknowledgement to us, and our browser keeps waiting for it.

@Kiran, I get the problem repeatedly with the same post... I have saved the text of the message in a Opera Note and I copy paste it at different occasions but receive the same error... So, I think it has to do with the length of text...

@Lucky Star, I will try your method tonight and let you know how it goes...

[nileshgr]

Now many of us know that this a old version of vBulletin. Why then the admins are participating in this thread?

 

[sakumar79]

Just now got my post up finally... For info on size of my post check it out *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=501431#post501431 (Ok, I know it is slightly shameless advertising, but anyway...)

What I did was run a Preview Post and after 10 seconds, stopped and put Submit new post... Similar to Lucky Star's post... May be that happened or as Kiran said, it might have been a random occurance... Anyway, thanks all who responded...

But then what about our problems. we're too facing the same problem?

 

[sakumar79]

I guess you can try what I did and hope it works for you too... Meanwhile, I wonder if anyone has contacted the mods with this problem... If not, I think someone should post a link to this thread in the Feedback Thread (I believe there is a sticky for website feedback)...
