WHy am I having troubles posting new threads? - The Orange Mane

Taco John · 09-07-2005, 08:07 AM

Hey all...

THere is a ghost in the system that I haven't been able to work out since moving to this new server. I haven't had a chance to work on it in about a week due to all the other things I have going on...

In any case, there is a work around that seems to do the trick. It's like a duct tape solution, so I beg forgiveness while I try and get this thing settled...

If you have trouble posting a thread, hit the back button, and shorten the thread title to only one letter. Post the thread and then go back and edit the thread and change the thread title back to what you wanted it to be originally. That seems to work every time...

Teej, I've had some trouble renaming threads even as a mod and I also have been having issues trying to start new threads lately. It seems real hit or miss at times...

sounds like a Microsoft fix

bronco militia · 09-07-2005, 08:17 AM

the length of the first post seems to affect the new thread as well...I've been able to post the the thread title and then come back and edit the first post.

Is there a way to ban Waffle from posting a new thread during the regular season? j/k

Sir Mawn · 09-07-2005, 09:35 AM

My problem is the server not responding on occasion.. I hit the forum jump back to the main discussion board and it times out attempting to contact the server. This'll happen for 2 o 3 minutes and then it's fixed again.

PatsWin2002 · 09-07-2005, 10:08 AM

I've found that having 1-word titles works for me...then I edit it.

Just like you said.

minibronco · 09-07-2005, 11:09 AM

TJ, you're awesome.

broncos love · 09-08-2005, 03:25 PM

Can't log OUT?

You can always delete your cookies - that should work.

broncos love · 09-08-2005, 03:36 PM

Ok I will try that thanks for the tip

I always get a message saying there was an error in logging me out. It then gives me a link to click to log out. That second attempt at logging out always does the trick. In my case, it's not a big deal. I uncheck the box that says "Remember me" when I'm on my work computer. Therefore, it kicks me off automatically after a short idle period.

It's a conspiracy, a black plot that reaches into every nook and corner of society as we know it.

OrangeShadow · 09-08-2005, 06:14 PM

yeah i whenever it did that i just posted one saying "test"

GonzoLays · 10-09-2005, 12:54 PM

I keep writing about football on the front page and they keep coming up missing? Could some mod fill me on what is happening? Crazy stuff!

BurgundyNGold · 10-10-2005, 08:16 AM

I'm having the same problem. I'd like to post a congratulatory thread on the Skins game, but it comes back with a blank screen. When I refresh the browser, it says that I've already created the thread, but it never shows.

Blart · 10-18-2005, 11:20 AM

If you post the problem at vbulletin.com I'm sure someone would help.

Taco John · 10-19-2005, 11:47 AM

I will be upgrading the board software this weekend to vBulletin 3.5. I am expecting that this upgrade will take care of this problem...
