Starting a topic causes errors in my browser

(1/3) > >>

Ok, I'm pretty sure that this has been happening to me for a while now, but since I don't do start topics very often, I didn't exactly realize there was a problem.

Starting a topic causes my browser to have some kind of error where the parent forum doesn't reload afterwords.  There have been occasions where I refreshed a minute or two later and somehow this caused a double post of the topic.  At least one of these was when I used the admin power to move a topic and ended up with two move announcement topics being generated. 

One of the places I browse from generates the following error (with some additional info that I don't think applies)


--- Quote ---Network Error   

tcp_error  
 

Exception:   A communication error occurred: ""

I did some tests in the curator section to see if this repeats, and to capture the above message since I had closed the tab it had happened to me on earlier.  One of the tests showed that when I generate a topic from my iPhone, I don't get the above message, I just get a blank page.

When I start a topic with a picture in the first post (as it happens with most birthday threads) always happens that the post is "being upload" forever. I mean, it never ends, so after a minute or so I leave the "posting window" and sure enough, the post is there. But then, I have to go "see" it a couple of times before it stops being labeled as "new".

I don't know if it's related with your problem, I only add my 2 cents

Mine messes up whenever I have posted one for awhile actually, I just always assumed it was on my side... More disconcerting I was modifying a post just now and my screen jumped to top and erased everything I had added *sigh* set me back an hours work....

I've actually had errors when I post as well.

I get 404 errors, or just blank pages after I click the post button.

Typically I just refresh the page, and the topic/post I just made is there.  But it is a might anoying to have to wait for the error, hit the refresh page, then check the sub forum to see if the thread was posted.

I get this same behavior.  Ive just gotten in the habit of going to the bathroom or something after I post a new thread, letting it spin its wheels for a bit, then close the tab and check the main index.  Sure enough it's always been posted, but it never actually figures it out in original window
