The Post button is malfunctioning again. It won't post! If you just exit the topic, you then find it has posted. You will get a lot of double posts if this is not fixed. One already in Trombonists.

I know the problems that exist with the ownership but I just can't believe it is not possible to correct this overall situation. Maybe contact whoever is hosting the website?

It's sporadic.  Sometimes my posts (and membership actions) go through immediately.  Sometimes it takes forever.

I cleared 4 identical posts from Classifieds this morning (left one).  When I find them I clear the others as well.

If you just leave the page alone after hitting the Post button (open another tab to get more work done) eventually it seems to come back.  "Eventually" meaning several minutes.

I think it is only a problem with Internet Explorer.  I switched to Firefox at work and have not had problems.

Happens with Chrome and Edge as well.  Sometimes; not all times.

What I do is highlight the text of the message (CTRL-A) then (CTRL-C), then scroll up to the User Center and click on 'Your Most Recent Posts'.

It's always there, even though the 'Post Reply' tab is still scrolling. Then I can close the tab. In the event that it wasn't there, I could repaste the message. So far, the message posts in the usual amount of time but the page keeps scrolling.

Yes, it appears to "hang" but the post will get posted so I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Just hit Post and then click on something else and you will find that your post was posted.  This is my experience anyway.

I can't send PMs. I've missed out on several items in the classifieds. Wait , maybe that's a good thing.

I am regularly getting this message, even when entering TTF for the first time from Chrome. It has been happening for at least a week.

"
The tromboneforum.org page isn’t working

tromboneforum.org didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
"

I have to hit Reload about 20 times to get in. The same happens in IE.

It certainly has made me less active.

Now, tonight, TTF response time is fast, faster than it has been for some time. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm liking it.
Thanks.

For the first time in a while, my post button has gone straight back to the thread. Before the page would either hang in a state of "You pressed the button, it's loading the next page, but nothing on the screen is changing and the wheel is just spinning perpetually" or it would do that for like 20 seconds and give the ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE message. Let's see if it works again on this post...

EDIT: Yup, immediately went back to this thread and scrolled to my post. Am I just lucky or was this fixed overnight?

Just because a website shows problems for you doesn't mean your PC isn't all messed up too.   Image

I get many "empty responses" before I get can get TTF to display. Same thing happens for on other browsers and other computers in my house.

We'll see how this post goes.

I've had like ALL the problems on TTF that can be had, including this one. One thing that I've found that gets me around this issue, is if it's taking a long time to post, STOP the load by hitting the "x" near the web address in your browser, then REFRESH the page. You should then get a msg that says something like "A reply has been posted while you were writing". This is actually YOUR reply that has been posted! Do not try to post again or reload again, just go back to the original post page and you should see your comment there (only one copy).

Hope this works for you until the problem gets fixed (don't hold your breath!)

Whenever it hangs I just close the page and go back to TTF in a new tab. My post is always there.

EXACTLY! I really don't know why everyone is making such a big deal over this.

Well, it really shouldn't do this.  But we have no way to fix it; only Richard Byrd can.  So we need to work around the quirks of this site.  If it really bothers you, go to Trombone Chat Image

Correct. Everyone who has posted more than once should know this by now.

But I wouldn't go so far as to shoo people away.  Image

Especially not the Administrator!

BTW, just about every post for me is now not shown as posted. But it has! I do make a copy before I exit a post just to be on the safe side and not waste my time.
