ISSUE: I often cannot submit posts for a while
-
Can’t that ‘timed out’ functionality be turned off? Maybe it would eliminate this issue, and I can’t see a use for it anyway*.
I mean, the “Why don’t you take a break and come back in 30 seconds” prevents spamming, but why would anyone mind if I’d take, say, 6 hours to write a post?
*(Well, that’s not entirely true: on a forum with heated debates it might be less convenient to take too long for a reply because meanwhile, other people might have written new posts. I still wouln’t find it a great idea then, but I presume this might be why it was invented.)
BTW at the moment, I have to relog about every other post

Test
-
At least that one worked right away.
-
That one too.
-
Based on the contrast before and after your tweaks, I will carefully assume that you might have nailed it
If so, great work, thanks!! -
Ouch. Am I now the only one able to post here? Did w0dk4’s fix split off my bulb of spacetime from the rest of the universe?
-
I might have cheered too early: just had to relog to be able to submit a post

I think we’re coming close to the point where we’ll have to ditch Xoops if we want to have a functional website for the future, but unfortunately I don’t think we have the manpower to redesign and port the site right now.
-
Well, I never had any issues. Might be another problem then?

So it definitely makes a lot of difference!

When I did my last post, I got the issue. I really couldn’t post it, so I checked for multiple things. My message was around 1000 characters, and that is only after lowering to 994 characters, that I could post it.
-
Got this today.
-
For me this happens when you start a new post and take too long to submit. Same happens when you get a new IP address in that time frame.
-
After w0dk4 made some changes, the site is almost (but not 100%) issue-free for me.
Ironically, it hangs on this very post
I had to relog. -
Id consider this only a minor issue since the text is still there. With the first failed submission the session should refresh and a 2nd click on submission should finally submit the content.
The other solution is that you simply type faster

The issue is that, sometimes, you get caught in a seemingly endless loop. So, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and Nth time render the ‘submission invalid’ page.
-
In that case I would suggest to copy the text, refresh the page with F5 and then past it back in.
I cant really tell how complicated it is to increase the session time on this forum software.
-
I suspect the session’s lifetime is not always (or ever) refreshed when just opening a new page, so the expiry can happen basically at any point and that’s what prompts a refresh.
