Editing posts - a query

[Dauphin]

When I edit posts I sometimes have great difficulty getting back to the post I edited after clicking "Save changes". I am given "This page cannot be displayed" error messages instead of the "Your post has been successfully edited" page. Refreshing is no help.

However if I access the thread in another window I can see that the edit has been uploaded correctly. So I end up just closing the window I did the edit with.

What's up with that? Database problem or is it related to high usage of the server?

[Tuberski]

High usage I think, happens to me occasionally, too.

ACK!

Editing posts is always really really slow for me, despite my connection, and sometimes I get the error you mention SD.

In fact I am getting a lot of intermittent errors at the moment.......is 'Poly particularly busy at the moment?

[CapitanGarlic]

It's just as slow as anything else is, for me, but it does give the 'cannot be displayed' message fairly often.

Poly has been acting quirky for me for about a week now.

It's been pretty busy lately. A lot of strange things have been happening. Usually nothing a refresh or opening a new window can't solve

What about the first post in a new thread disappearing? This has happened twice, that I know of, since last night.

ACK!

Not just posts, but entire threads!

[Skanky Burns]

The thread was probably a deliberate removal. The first post missing was probably a 'Poly problem.

[DrSpike]

The thread that disappeared was probably questioning the washing habits of the site-owners or something.......the disappearing sole post is a puzzler though.

Ahh, Ming just explained that now.

Actually, it was a classic example of cross posting. Went I went to delete it, I didn't see ANY post from you in the thread... so I figured I would delete it and let you try again. But I hung on the delete screen for about 3 minutes. I'm sure that's when you must have posted.

The sole post disappearing is a problem though. Even if 'Poly does make the effort of starting the thread anyway.
