Unable to post

[Clayton]

I have been unable to post replies to several threads this morning. When I hit submit, it takes me back to the thread without posting. Yes I am logged on.

Seems to be working now

Second try to reply to my own thread. Unable to reply (4 or 5 times) to the "Merry Christmas " thread in Announcements.

I can't get this to fail. Not saying that it's not a problem, only I can't fix something if I can't replicate the symptoms. Very frustrating.


I've purged the forum cache, is it still happening? Maybe go to the test forum and try to reply to a couple of posts there.

And are any other users having this issue?

I'm trying my best to narrow this down.

I was unable to post as well the first time. Then I decide I post with a quote. IT worked. a subsequent post worked as well.

Finally after about 7 times, I was able to post to the other thread.

(3rd time posting this message).

OK, I deactivated spiders/crawlers. Let me know if this helps from this point forward.

What are spiders/crawlers

[Ron]

This explains it better than I could -

I have one more thing to try if any users are still having problems.

Seems better now. Does deactivating the spiders/crawlers affect the ability of say Goggle to find us in a search?

[Ron]

Seems better now.

I don't want better, I want eliminated If it happens one time, let me know.

I can selectively activate different search bots. It wouldn't totally prevent or block the search engine strategy, but it definitely wouldn't help if I deactivated all of them permanently.

I can also tell them not to analyze specific files - in this case, maybe the "posting" file... it gets pretty technical.

Just took me 3 times to reply to "Build it yourself" in the tools area.
