Forum is running like crap today

[Bhav]

Posts dont post, and when they do post they post 2 or 3 times.

 

Happened several times to me already.

I am having a bad internet. Sorry. It keeps lagging for me. It's a pain. They you mean "me"

[Bhav]

Ran a speedtest and my internet speed is at its best atm.

[Guest]

Does everybody has the same lagging/slow loading issue or is it just me? I heard they had a maintenance 

[LogicalDrm]

Its something related to Friday's update. Will have to wait for @colonel_mortis to break fix it again.

[RevoltTrain]

Yep, same here in the car thread for everyone

[Guest]

Ah good. But how come gmail is loading slow too hmm

[antisleep]

Yep, takes time saving edited posts as well.

[Aytex]

Yepppp getting it too

Like I just posted this comment. I only clicked to post it once, it took ages and then I got an error page saying 'something went wrong'. Clicked on the back button, and the post is there twice:

Great when you hit return and it deletes the line

 

especially for a post you just quoted 

[Praesi]

Same here.

@colonel_mortis : Thanks for that recent "fix" update /s

The forum is reindexing, and this process can clash with post requests causing duplicates.  It should resolve itself within a day.

Edit: so that turned out to not be the cause or it would have stopped by now.

We are aware of:

• getting errors after posting or editing
• duplicates showing up
• images not linking correctly

In the mean time:

• If you hit submit, hit refresh after about 2 seconds. This can speed up the process and avoid duplicates
• Manually insert images into the post - don't just attach them and let the site pin them to the bottom of your post
• Please continue to report duplicates so we can clean them up

afaik the guy is doing it for free and even if he isn't, no need for sass.

This bug is getting pretty annoying.

 

(if you see this twice, it's not on purpose)

Saw someone quadruple post earlier...not sure whether it was partly the user's fault or just full on bug...

[Bhav]

The double post also happens after posting and then editing a post. Saving the editied post will throw up a 'This post cant be edited' error, and it will have been edited with the base unedited post posted again.

Yes there are many issues, but afaik we are aware of them all.  Unfortunately, until Mortis gets back to look into it, there's not really anything we can do.  My best suggestion would be to try the trick I mentioned and just keep reporting.  We (well I at least) don't mind cleaning them up at all - it's quite easy.
