Strange issue
I'm having a strange issue:
If I hit the "reply" button, type my reply and then hit "submit post", the connection will hang and then I'll get disconnected. I've noticed that if I highlight & copy my post before I submit it, re-load the page and then paste & post, it works every time. Any clues? (I've just had to employ this method to make this post....) |
I believe the standard advice for anything odd is to clear coolies and the cache then try again, if you don't use it already CCcleaner will do the job for you.

Same problem here but it has got so bad I cannot log in at all using Firefox. Have made this post after switching to IE.
|
Firefox 3.0.4 on Linux. Works fine. :ok:
Is everyone doing a Preview first? |
I'm using IE 64 bit that was only installed with a new PC a few months ago.
What's a "preview"? |
Don't use IE64
Its only included to allow developers to plan and program for the future. Essentially its a technology preview, in which many plugins don't work properly Adobe Flash and Shockware for instance are not properly compatible Some other audio and video codecs won't work properly Try the "normal" IE ans see what happens If you still have problems, reset the browser Start > Control Panel > Internet Options >Advanced > Reset sitigeltfel's problem with Firefix will be completely unrelated |
Thanks. How do I NOT use IE64?
|
Click on the icon which simply says "Internet Explorer", not the one that says "Internet Explorer 64-bit"
|
I wish it were that simple!
I only have the 64 bit icon. |
Check again
It should be listed under start > all programs Unless someone has been deleting icons... |
I found the IE32 and switched to it but it didn't solve the problem.
Any other ideas? I see there's another thread running where GCPTN is having the same issue. |
did you reset IE as I suggested above?
|
testing without copying and pasting and typing slowly for good measure
|
Seems to have made an improvement. Thanks!:ok:

Sorry for the delayed response stickandrudderman. I got sidetracked.
'Preview' is the 'Preview Post' button next to 'Submit Reply'. I always use it (it saves occasional embarrassment) and it might affect the hanging behavior some are experiencing if they submit from the preview window. I'm just throwing this out as a guess, since I didn't see any complaints about hanging when clicking preview. |
