Topic posts occasionally not being posted

World of XBug

There has been an ongoing, intermittent bug of topic posts sometimes not posting.

This issue has caused multiple delays in an event I’m running, due to plot updates that were thought to be written but did not get posted (Happened to both myself and others). Upon asking, more people said that they’ve also experienced the same, with some resorting to saving their content elsewhere just in case it doesn’t send.

Details:

  • Not caused by a poor internet connection. The page will refresh as if to post the content, but instead no post will happen.

  • I have heard of people being told to hit the back button and post again. Hitting the back button sometimes brings back the content, but other times does not. This is also moot if you do not happen to notice at the time that it did not post, therefore creating delays you are not aware of.

  • Not sure on this one, but someone else thought there could also be something related to content being moved to the OOG box instead of sending.

Please can you look into it, I would really like a smooth topic posting experience without constant interruptions caused by this.

    To add to the original post:

    If you load into the topic via a notif of someone commenting on your post, close the comment and then reply to the topic, the page will swallow the reply and reopen the comment. Going back will post it.

    Yes, this is happening often and very annoying with topic participation. With paranoia you learn to copy your response first but this is not a solution and users shouldn’t be expected to find workarounds or hacks

      Yes, I've noticed this as well. People keep telling me it my be because of my internet connection, and to just reload or rewrite, but I have a direct connection through eternity. It's frustrating to have to back everything up because the site can't save things properly.
