Posting problems
« on: October 02, 2011, 05:20:38 PM »
Hi,

Having trouble posting,  -- tends to go on forever. Or the sever times out.

Same for messages – can’t send. Also I can’t delete any.

The little window at the left says “Waiting for Madmodders”

Any ideas what to do?

Same here, keep getting SMF server timeout ...

Often pops into life about 30 secs later ...

The server is acting up. Think I am going to reboot it...

Eric,

The way I get it to post is keep clicking the preview button til it tells me someone has posted. :bang:

Otherwise it just says waiting for madmodder.net. :doh:

Not the right way to post though.

hmmmm.

That is just bizarre. I didn't reboot until just recently, so tell me if it is any better.

fwiw, I am going to make another server move in the next month. I have given this hosting service a chance and they have dropped the ball way to many times.

Earlier this afternoon, it was doing the time out when just loading the pages. But it went back to normal this evening.

Dave...

Have you tried more than one PC or browser? I seem to recall you having issues seeing linked pictures too.

Eric,

I have tried IE8 and Firefox5 I have the same problem on both.

I only have this computer, so I suppose it could be something with the computer.

I have no trouble getting on to MM or going between the different parts.

Just seems to hang when trying to post. I press the preview - then it tells me - another post would you like to consider.......... I just click Home and it is posted.

A bit odd :doh:

When I try to log out I get this:

Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again.

Any ideas

John,

Does it allow to log out - I can't

If I try to start from square one - it won't log me in

Just to post this is a major undertaking

Dave... That is extremely odd. No-one else that I know of can't log out.

I have tried starting from the log in page – will not log me in.

If on the log in page – without trying to log in I click the home button – it says Hello DaveH.

Now how does it know it is me - without me logging in?

Did yer miss me?  :wave:

I've just logged out, then back in again.....  :thumbup:
