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.

I have had it only once after w0dk4 changed some settings, as opposed to the, easily, 4 out of 5 times before that. So it definitely makes a lot of difference!

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.
