Forums go Boom every time I try to post!

from Elemental Forums

Has anyone else been having this problem lately? At least half the time I try to post, the forums go Boom and my post is eaten. And it's periodic; for example, I've tried to post something like 5 times in the past 10 minutes but it won't work. But I posted something earlier in the day and it worked just fine, but the day before I couldn't post anything either.

Also, if this post works, I will cry.

Log out, clear out all your cookies, then login again. That should do it.

This thread is getting both old and off topic.

 

How long has it been since a real BOOM was reported? At least a week.

;)   a BOOM....with another name....repeated for multiple attempts...

ok I just had 3 booms in a row including two  when attempting to post in this thread.

the only difference between boom & no boom before posting is that the reply box text was about 30% larger than normal just before the booms.

I also have done a hard refresh incase there are updates to the forum code that could be a factor, and the text size this time appears to be normal.

I have several loud and large ones every day... but then I guess everybody knew that already. :-"

Anyway, the forums have been behaving well for me... no booms or page load incidents to report.

Got another one today. Speaking of which. How come when I click the back button to recover my hastily written but not always saved post to post again, the quotes don't work? I mean nothing has changed but the forum just posts the code instead of actually using it.

According to our database logs you were the only one to receive an error today:

And I'm not sure what you're asking... What do you mean by "the quotes don't work"?

That's just so weird. I get at least one everyday. WTH is so special about my setup?

Anyway, about the coding. Post 82, the last one at the moment, https://forums.stardock.com/388894/page/4/#2696471 . At least for me, the code for quoting is there instead of showing it in the little blue box like it is supposed to. This happens every time I get a boom and then hit the back button to recover the post to post again. And since I get at least one a day, i do this fairly often since i forget to save my post sometimes.

There are some <span> tags around where it says cynicalP.  Remove those tags to fix the problem.  It looks like if you go to the error page and go back, TinyMCE (the forums' editor) automatically adds a span around some elements, which breaks the quoting regular expression.  Not exactly sure how to fix this though.  Either a RegEx update or possibly seeing if there is a TinyMCE update available that resolves this.

You know what would be more disturbing? Valve striking a deal with Microsoft, by which Steam becomes a windows service required for windows to run, on all computers. Your windows logins become steam logins too.

 

 

That would suck and somehow I suspect this wcould happen eventually to keep the money flowing into big pockets.

I am thinking those tags you are seeing, is not something that I can see. I don't see a difference between these two quotes at all. One was pulled from the back button post and the other a new quote. I wish you guys had a preview button like some other boards so I can test to see if this works without actually posting.

 

edit: okay yeah see after posting, there is no difference, they both work. Whatever is happening is behind the scenes, not something I can fix.

In the editor, if you click on the small "html" button you'll see the HTML for the post/reply you are making.  If you were to go back to your other post and check the html, you'll see that the username of the person you are quoting has span tags around their name.  Removing those span tags will resolve the problem.

Oh I see. Well that's a rather irritating fix. At least I finally know what's going on though. Thanx!|-)   And let me guess, I am the only boom again today. heh. wth man.

No, we had 3 today.  Can I ask where you're located?  And which browser/OS you're using?  And if possible, can you run a speedtest and let me know your download speed?
