"Quick Reply" posting anamoly

[yogishree]

A small problem.

For the last 2 days I find that whenever I write a "Quick Reply" and therafter use the "Post Quick Reply" , I get a error msg saying that I am using it within 16 seconds of last usage etc . On reloading the page I find the reply posted.

This is a recent phenomenon and I never faced this earlier.

Is there something wrong that I have started doing OR something else is going wrong ??

LWM upgraded vBulletin recently so maybe it has something to do with that. :-\

Sorry I missed reading about the update earlier . Because of the time element it does seem that what I am seeing has something to do with the recent update but surely this is unintended .

Administrators may like to look into this please.

A few questions... First, have you tried totally clearing your browser cache and restarting your browser? The Quick Reply is another of the Javascript based routines that was changed significantly in the vBulletin upgrade. If people still have a cached version of the old Quick Reply script, it will definitely cause problems.

Second, if the above doesn't help, how long was it between replies? Also, was it happening on every post, or just some posts? At this point, I can't recreate the problem, so I need more specific details in case it isn't a cached javascript issue. Thanks.

Yes. But tried it once again - [ in my Opera 8.5 : Preferences >> Advanced >> History >> (emptied 'Disk Cache' ;Set 'Memory Cache' to 'Off';exited the browser;restarted the system) ; Hope this is in order]

2. -{ Quote: "Second, ... , how long was it between replies?" }-

This is happening even for my first response after logging in . But only with "Quick Reply". I seem to be having some problem in attaching a shot of the error msg , however , the msg says "This forum requires that you wait 16 seconds between posts.Pl try again in 15 seconds" .

3.-{ Quote: " Also, was it happening on every post, or just some posts? " }-

Happening with every post as far as I can see.Tried it out on the test forum - same results.

4. Since the "Quick Reply" is getting posted all right , I was trying to find out at what stage this is getting posted . Since after writing the msg - and before using the "Post Quick Reply" button - only "Quote Msg in Reply" was being used , I tried not using this option and straight away posting but same results.It appears that the Error msg and the posting of the reply are somehow becoming simultaneous.

I'm afraid I can't recreate the problem here, and I've checked at the vBulletin support forum, and no one is reporting this problem. Since we are using normal "quick reply" code from vBulletin, any fix would depend upon their developers recognising this as a problem and making a fix. I'm afraid we're stuck at this point. Their normal reaction over there is if only one person is seeing the problem, but it works for everyone else, then the problem is probably on that person's system.

Do you have any other browsers available on that system so you can see if those work without the problem?

Yeah - this is logical.

a) I do have Firefox . Tried it out just now. Exactly same problem.
b) Physically deleted almost 500 MB of Opera Cache also. No improvement.

3. However not to worry , I have some more ideas which I shall look into later on and come back to you guys with results if any .

Thx for the time and efforts put in by everyone especially LWM - much obliged.

[yogishree]

Well my problem has been sorted out .

On the suggestions of Ron ( in the Test Forum ) I bypassed all filters in my Proxomitron and poof everything works as it should .

Thx once again to all especially LWM & Ronjor.

You can keep your Proximitron settings and not use it at Wilders by configuring general, connection settings, in Firefox as shown in the screenshot.

[yogishree]

Why isn't the same setting working with Opera ??

[ronjor]

Opera reply

[ronjor]

Once again

[ronjor]

Works here using Opera yogishree. Chck the cache settings and empty cache.

Ron,

Not able to bypass Prox for the forum site . Using : Preferences >> Advanced >> Network >> ProxyServer >> ( used 'Do not use Proxy ...' option with address as 'Wilderssecurity' ). Missing something ??

[ronjor]

Check your settings carefully.

If you could pl confirm .

Just to report that "Manage Attachments" also seems to be a part of the same problem , in my case. Working only with Prox bypassed.

It may depend on the Proxo filters and the way you have them setup. Bypassing Proxo should elminate it being the problem. Then you can focus on your browser settings.
You can right click on the Proxo icon and select bypass at any time.

The way you have it configured is the way I have Opera setup.

We can't change anything regarding these issues on this end. The problem is the filtering being done in the proxy software, which isn't able to handle the newer javascript related functions in vBulletin 3.5. I'd imagine that since the Javascript is updated and more complex then it was, that the Promo filters need upgrading to handle them properly without people having to bypass for the site.

I just didn't want anyone to think that "Wilders is working on this issue." With all the threads people have posted with "javascript related problems", (and yes, the "Manage Attachments" function is yet another Javascript routine), they are all turning out to be client side issues and not anything we can fix from here.

The above is exactly right since the diagnosis of the problem to Proxomitron in my case . It is clear that the problems are not on server side and relate solely to client side . Thus the question of at least my thinking that Wilders could possibly 'work' on the issue does not arise.

However I am extremely grateful for the prompt responses and help from everyone.

-{ Quote: "However I am extremely grateful for the prompt responses and help from everyone." }-Well, you're helping us, too. By finding that it was indeed Promo in that case, that helped us focus back on some of these products as possible places for people to look if they are having similar problems. That's why I've collected a few of the issues together in that other post I've linked to a couple times now. Going forward, as new people arrive with similar problems, we'll just keep adding troubleshooting ideas to that thread to have it all in one place.

[yogishree]

Just to report that my problem has finally been solved with a simple solution .

Just had to include the forum URL to Prox's bypass list and that was it.

The solution though obvious struck only after I unloaded Kye-U's Browser Security Pack v4.47 just now and found the forum URL included in its by-pass list (KBSP.txt).However did have to put the URL in the original bypasslist file in my Prox Directory and it all now works PERFECT.
