Delay when adding new posts
-
Just thinking out load here because I'm not an admin on any forum ;) but…
It seems to me that the fact there is never a delay when modifying or previewing a post must be a clue. Especially because when modifying a post the browser is redirected back to the post in the thread where as when posting a new post it redirects to the sub-forum index. This behaviour always seemed to be slightly inconvenient to me since I almost always then go back to check my post (and correct the terrible spelling!). Looking at the SMF docs I see there is a variable to control this: redirectexit
I wonder whether this still at the default setting, redirects to the forum index, or is trying to redirect to some thing non-existant?
Either way it would be my preference to redirect to the post.Steve
Edit: No delay on this post. ::)
-
And now I see that there is a setting for doing the above in user profile, 'Return to topics after posting by default'.
Steve
Edit: And it works like a champ! :)
Edit2: Doesn't effect the delay though.
-
This has been bugging me for some time, I made the change to return to topics, and also setup quick reply. Lets see if that makes any difference?
That was instant - and now this modify went? Fast as hell as well! Lets see how it goes in other sections.
-
still see delays now and then, have to check my settings again. But reporting posts just seems broke!
Those damn gibberish spam posts – try to report one, and just sits there saying connecting. So not sure its actually reported or not?
-
they are getting reported.
-
So why does it just sit there and saying connecting? Seems like there is something not quite right with the forum – there can not be that many users when Im on at 1:30am in the morning you would think a post would be pretty much instant ;)
edit: That one was instant.. Will wait and see what happens with next post that needs to be reported.
-
it greatly depends of your timezone
-
there are general locking problems in this version of SMF according to what I've found and heard from others. We'll get this upgraded to SMF 2.0 in the not too distant future which will fix.
-
I'm still experiencing delays..
-
Yeah its very frustrating when it happens.. Especially on say reporting a post, since there is no way to verify that it went in or not. With normal post - I just make sure I have a copy of what I posted and can move along - and can jump back into the thread and verify that it got posted. But with reports kind of just have to sit there ;)
So curious on not to distant future - since its been like 6 weeks since that statement ;)
edit: It seems to be random to be honest, this one went through right away no hang.

I have and currently am having this problem too.
Post a reply to a thread and it take nearly 2 minutes.
Windows 7 Enterprise Edition
IE 8If this one also delays, I'll resubmitt it with Safari to see if that makes any difference.

Yup the post using IE 8 was delayed. If fact I got here with Safari and opened the post be for IE returned to the forum.
So here is this reply post using Safari. Will it delay too? Let see.

Went through immediately, without delay, using Safari.

Seems the pfSense Boards are not IE 8 friendly.

The delay is not browser related, it happens at random. I have experienced it with multiple browsers and OSs and also experienced no delay under the same conditions.
Like Chris said earlier it's a backend problem.Steve
-
Well how about that. It just happened to me a moment ago with Safari.
-
As of yesterday this issue seems to have gone away. For me at least. With various OS/browser/device combinations posting new posts is fast.

test post speed
edit: that was fast, but clearly they have not updated to latest smf
Powered by SMF 1.1.16
I do believe 2.02 is the latest
-
it's hit and miss, nothing has changed. It's a lot more annoying to me than many of you, definitely a priority to get fixed, but at the moment it's a bit down on the list. Upgrading to SMF 2.x is a pain, but we'll get there in the next month or so.
-
Hmm, weird I've had no slow posts at all for at least two days vs probably 90% slow posts before.
Not any sort of problem really. :)Steve
