still having trouble posting?

Another member told me a post of mine appeared four times on her thread, but on my side, it never showed up as being posted until she told me, having always yielded a page saying the site wasn't available. And today, I got another comment that a post I tried to make didn't make it. But maybe it did?

I don't see a post showing you as the author since September 23rd, so it seems the post from today didn't make it! :|

A few have shown up. They just took a long time.

I am having posts show up multiple times now too. Strange...

Hi oolala-
Every time I have posted anything for the past week or so, it has told me the site wasn't available. Then when I checked, it had indeed posted. So I have been checking back to the site to see if mine posted before reposting. I don't know what is causing that, but the error is in the message it sends to you, not in the site's ability to post your comment, as far as I can tell. At least that has been how it was for mine.

Having same experience as Sonya. Get an error msg but when I check, my post is there.

I found the same thing, so have been ignoring the error message. Eventually, the error message stopped appearing, but the post would take a lot longer than usual.

Hmm. Now I know why I've been procrastinating on this server move for so long. :-)

It sounds like this is different from the email related issue reported earlier. This sounds like maybe your browser is remembering the old server's IP address and pointing there (the old server still exists in a shadowy way, haven't quite pulled the plug yet).

What browser are you using? If you're on chrome, you should be able to clear your DNS cache by typing this into the location field (where you normal type urls):

chrome://net-internals/#dns

And then clicking the "clear host cache" button.

Please let me know if this doesn't do the trick or you're still having issues,

Ignore above -- I think I just saw what you're reporting and it's different.

OK, it's possible I fixed this. Please let me know if you see it again.

Just replied on another thread and it went through just like it used to with no delay.

Good to hear!

Though I'm seeing something similar now in the board sign up section (timeout error when you submit, even though the sign up works and the new account is created).

I'll keep at it...

Anyone still having trouble posting or experiencing any other weirdness?

I'm seeing slowness to post still (which I'm investigating), but at least it doesn't error anymore.

I just tried to update my HabitCal - and the 'save 2 changes' didn't do anything :( I re-loaded the page and tried again several times.........

OK, habitcal should now be fixed (let me know if not!).

I'm still investigate the posting slowness... it's annoying to have to wait a minute+ for a post to through.

I fixed the posting slowness (slowness had to do with emails -- posts that didn't trigger an email were fine, posts that did took a solid minute just to send the email).

Potential new problem: is anyone actually getting these emails?

I wasn't for awhile but just started getting them again yesterday!

Good to know! Thanks. While I was fixing the slowness issue I did a bit of rejiggering that I guess might have helped the emails withstand spam filters a little better.

Excellent! Yeah all seems well--thanks for working on it so quickly!

Rejiggering can do that.
