Website reply/loading problems.

[NZTailender]

This is something that happens in bursts, sometimes lasting a day sometimes lasting a couple of weeks.

When I type a reply to a thread and hit submit it will go to a blank page that will forever be at 0% and still be "loading."

Sometimes my reply doesn't show up, sometimes it does (when I close the page and open the forum directory fresh).

Thought it might be my end but have done the regular housekeeping and it hasn't fixed it. And it gets kind of annoying having to goto the main forum page, goto the subforum, find the topic, etc. everytime after posting.

Can you give more details? What browser are you using, etc?

This has happened to me a lot recently. Actually, now that I think about it, it's only started happening to me since the new ads came in, but that probably has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, what happens to me, is: when I click submit reply, the page goes to a blank page. It has the correct url for where it usually goes (ie. to my new post) but doesn't load. If I refresh, it comes up normally.

I use Firefox.

EDIT: Ironically, it happened as I posted this.

I use Firefox, James.

 

[James]

Thanks for the notification guys.

Could you guys please screen-print the window that appears when you click "Help" / "About Mozilla Firefox".

Have you tried another browser on your computer to see if it happens?

I've been having the same problem using firefox. Posting this in Internet Explorer though so we'll see what happens...

Edit: Works fine with IE

This has happened to me a bit down the years - can't say I've noticed any increase of late TBH.

 

[Johnners]

It's the first time it has ever happened to me.

My version is 2.0.0.12, James.

 

[Jamee999]

Never had that problem on Opera.

 

[James]

Ok, I've got the same error in my version of FireFox too.

I've tested it in IE, Opera, Safari and Netscape, and it doesn't occur in any of those browsers.

It appears to only be related to the Quick Reply, if you use the Post Reply button it works fine.

I'll see if I can find out what the cause is.

 

[James]

Ok, it should be fixed now. It's a bug in Firefox where it doesn't support a piece of vbulletin code, but all the other browsers do.

Can all concerned please confirm?

 

[Johnners]

It was doing it for me with both quick reply, and post reply...

But it's working now, thanks James

 

[James]

Great to hear - thanks for letting me know Clapo.

Stupid Firefox

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah post reply works, QR doesn't really.

 

[James]

So its still not working for you NZTailender?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Fine for me now.

 

[James]

Thanks for that
