Walking-Iris Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm not sure if others are having this glitch happen or not. But when I try to edit a post it just stays in the editing format after I click "done" or whatever the button says. I have to refresh the page to get back to the thread and then more often than not it double posts. The original post with the edited one following. Anyone else having editing and double posting issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullia Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Could this be a browser issue? Editing started working better for me after I updated Firefox but it could be a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Edit worked for me in Safari earlier in the week. Then a couple of days ago, still in Safari, it did exactly what you said -- stayed locked in edit mode. I just closed the browser and never returned to see what ended up posting. And here I am in "edit" again. Now it's fine. ALthough only about 5 seconds past since I originally posted. I'll try again later and see what happens. Editing again after other people posted. Aaaaand, it looks like I'm stuck again. Off to open a new window and see what it looks like there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I can't edit or even scroll down to part of my original post on a kindle fire. I also can't do this during the original posting process if it is too long. I just managed to edit a spelling error in this one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Sometimes it does this for me. More often than not I find it has posted and it is the refresh that gets "hung." I open another tab to check that the message/edit has posted, then close the "hung" tab. ETA: It did it when I posted this. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Sometimes it does this for me. More often than not I find it has posted and it is the refresh that gets "hung." I open another tab to check that the message/edit has posted, then close the "hung" tab. That sounds really annoying! I haven't had any of these issues except for the very first day the forums were back up. Then again, I don't post very much. But if it helps, I am using Firefox and NOT having issues.

GailV Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh, so it LOOKS like it hasn't finished the edit in this window, but if I open another window and pull up this thread then it looks okay. I hit the "save changes" button more than once that last time, and it posted my final version. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It could be happening when I am working on the server and you happen to be posting when I messed up something, thus giving you some lag time. That's what I suspected was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 okay. well hopefully this is something that will clear up soon? It's slightly annoying to go back and edit with a "double post" as well as to read "double post." I don't remember ever having double post issues before. Just wondering. ETA: just to see if it happened again.... okay that time it seems to work. Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 What happened to the spell check? I thought there was a post about it, but I can't find it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
