what is wrong with the Forum?

[lostplanet]

Every time I try to post a message the thing crashes/freezes and I have to recover the web page and the restore auto saved content. This is happening pretty much every time I try to post a message/reply more so on the reply.

IE 9 windows 7 up to date.

It just happened to me trying to reply to this...One evening it happened half a dozen times before I gave up

never happened to me mate. Maybe I've been lucky. Mind you I tend to use tapatalk most of the time nowadays.

 

[JonathanD]

That's never happened to me either.

Its been like this for me for a couple of weeks. PM's are the worst. I reply and it crashes. I've learnt to now CNTRL C and V on all text I write or it dissapears into the ether.

TBH, I thought it was a problem with my OS (windows7) and it needed a re-install.


Other problems; the quote cursor wont move when enter is hit. I'm having to retype it every time.

do you have another forum open as well ?

Usually, yes mate for me.

I glad I'm not alone. Thought it was my machine. You should see the brilliant stuff I couldn't post!

It`s a little glitchy from my android tablet, but I'm pretty sure that is a compatibility issue with the OS. Not had any problems at all with my Windows 7 and Firefox equipped desktop.

I'll try that mate, cheers.

Sorry but I haven't had a problem with it in ages..........and I have five windows open just now, so kind of indicates that it's not that.

There was an issue a while back when cookies changed............try clearing yours and log in again, see if that sorts it out ?

I'll flag this for Admin, but most of them are at the Moot, so it might not get a quick response.

cheers,

I find IE9 a bit flakey so only use it for watching TVcatchup on the bedroom telly. No problems with BCUK using Chrome and Firefox.

Used to happen to me occasionally, no issues since i started using Google Chrome, great improvement for me, even on this relic laptop.

I've swapped to Chrome and the problems seem reduced with much quicker browsing.

The only crashes I get are when I upload a picture from computer. Then when I go to resize it it sometimes freezes on me and the forum stops responding. I have to shut it down and lose my post.

Like others I've got into a habit of copying my text before I upload pictures.

Never had any issues at all on firefox.

I should probably add for any android users that I just installed Chrome on my android tablet and the glitchiness of the forum has gone away. So if you're using the native browser on an Asus Transformer, consider installing chrome and you'll have less problems.

However the spell check function doesn't seem to be working any more, but that's a small price to pay for being able to actually write replies to posts

Take a look at
http://www.chromeextensions.org/utilities/ultimate-youtube-downloader/
lets you download youtube video's as .flv or mp4 files plus you can rip just the soundtrack as an mp3 file off a video which is great for when you find a nice video of your favourite band

Hi. Only happened the once to me! I think the major problem with the site is the idiots that start and continue pointless arguments just for the sake of it. Not a huge amount you can do about that though except ignore them!
