Mike T Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 OK - having established that I'm not wasting my time - I frequently bash out a lengthy post and hit 'send', only to get "saving...", whereupon nothing happens for the foreseeable future. I've just got this on private messages as well. I usually copy my text while this is happening and try again, but it's getting to be a severe impediment to participation (translation: it's a royal pain in the donkey) Anybody else? (I assume I'll be told ' the problem is at your end...') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Walby Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Greetings Mike, Try loading a few photos, then going for a cup of tea and then press submit...You might be surprised that it still works. You can even write a reply, nod off or even reboot the pc and find your message saved ready for you submission...One of the bonusses of the newish website.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 At the risk of being predictable - yes, I suspect it is something to do with your browser. On Firefox, both PC and mobile, I can leave a post, do something else and return to find my previous text with an option to use or delete it. What browser are you using? Perhaps there’s some sort of timeout option in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I assume I'll be told ' the problem is at your end...') Happened to me on Firefox to the extent I prepared longer posts in a word processor. Also, attaching photos would time out. Possibly a Firefox "setting". However past tense used, as since I switched to the Brave browser, everything is sweetness and light. A huge benefit of the Brave browser, that as I recall I learned about here, is it strips out the adverts from Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO its network connection and speed, seemed to only happen to me when the internet was on a go slow.....and timed out...and yes I used to type mine in word as well..those were the days 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could swap to Brave and what didn't work moments ago on Firefox was fine. So in my case, I'm as sure as I can be it was a browser problem. I'm on Fibre to the cabinet with Zen, a premium provider. I consistently get 30 odd Mb/s download speed, and about half that for upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thanks for the input chaps. I'm using Firefox with Privacy Badger and Ad Block Origin (turned off on this site). I've just turned off the PB to see how it goes - tho' the posts above were made with it on... Other than posting, I don't have a problem in navigating around the site and I don't seem to get problems with other sites. Speed wise, I'm on a 100Mb connection.

kc Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I had this delay several times last week but it's OK now. So maybe it was just something at that time only? Certainly works instantly now with Firefox and Windows 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) After posting here earlier on, I was then unable to upload pics (Error 200) or reply on another thread! PS - and this blighter went straight though! (banging head smiley) Edited July 4, 2023 by Mike T PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I have had this same problem again today from 12 noon onwards. It says "Saving" and then takes 5 or more minutes to accept the posting. Same with editing. Presumably it's the forum itself that is down at certain times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
