Great difficulty in posting/editing on CS forum

[sinned79]

Hi, i am facing the same problem as Rashkae. I believe he did not post so many threads which u guys classify as spams. Its rather the forum script causes this. I am alao shown this 30 secs thing when i only click once on post button. Think u guys need to fix this. I spent 2 hour plus to post 2 threads and some posta on my thread. *sweat*

even using iphone app i got the same problem. I can SWEAR i can only click once. And that's it.

 

[sinned79]

And the above post. I can SWEAR again I only click once but it show me this again (then you cannot blame us to click again thinking our one click doesn't work, that creates multiple post which you guys think we are spamming post but we are NOT cos we dun know the post had actually been posted already but since the prompt ask us to try again, we DID).

ok to summarise in case u guys dun understand what I am talking.

when I post or edit, I keep getting the 30 secs prompt even though I click ONCE only. But only to found out that the post was made but appear much later. So naturally after seeing that prompt, I will click again.

I think u guys can revert back to the original setting cos this tweaking is not working but creating alot of nuisance (multiple posts which u guys call spam which is not).

You can also seek Vbulletin's team help on this issue.

See? I click once... and I see this again. But when i refresh my post appears.

But I learnt to be smarter to ignore that 30 sec msg and never click post again.

We are aware of this double-posting / "30 second warning" issue and it is related to our ongoing efforts to optimise the performance of the server, especially during the peak times of 10pm - 1am.

Errrr this is a weird issue. Please give more details.

I'm having these issues using IE8.

This is what I've written.

This is the preview and format when I submit the thread.

I think this tweaking doesn't helps, should revert back to original setting, this double posting/30sec warning had become more of a nuisance (to the admins and mods especially due to the numerous double/triple or even more duplicate posts) then helping on the server performance i believe (why i say so is because users will definitely feel frustrated and keep clicking on the post button when they see this 30sec warning, that will in fact create more load to your database as duplicate posts chunk out much or a while later).

can try this guide:

Optimal vBulletin Options

* Enable All AJAX features – Make sure that this is set to allow all AJAX Features. Ajax helps reduce server load by not reloading a page where AJAX can be used. (Quick Reply for instance) > General Settings -> Disable AJAX Features and select Enable All Ajax Features.
* Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Remove Redirection Message Pages – I personally have not disabled it for Go4Expert.com but for my client I had to put this off to save on an unneeded page load and bandwidth.
* Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Add No-Cache HTTP Headers – Make sure you don’t opt for No-Cache setting and so set this to No.
* Server Settings and Optimization Options > Cached Posts Lifespan – If you have no issues with space on your server setting this to higher value is recommended. I have this set to 10 days and once you turn this on rebuild your Post Cache under Maintenance > Update Counters
* Server Settings and Optimization Options > Update Thread Views Immediately – Set this to No. This will update thread views via a cron every 1 hour by default. If you wish to change this you can do so by editing the Scheduled Task for Thread Views to a different time.
* Server Settings and Optimization Options > Update Attachment Views Immediately – Set to No.
* User Listing & Profile Viewing > Show Last Post on Profile Page – This is very server intensive process and so set this to No.
* Message Posting and Editing Options > Quick Reply – Not only does this make posting faster which leads to more posts being made this also uses Ajax which means you do not have to load another page to make a post.
* Message Posting and Editing Options > Quick Edit – Turn this on to reduce the need for a new page reload when someone simply wants to edit a post.
* Message Searching Options > Minimum Time Between Searches – Set this to some value mainly to avoid an attempt to use the search to harm your server.
* Forums Home Page Options > Display Logged in Users? – I have mine set to Yes but if you have issues with server load you can turn this feature off.
* Forum Display Options > Show Users Browsing Forums – I have mine set to No and if you have issues with server load you can turn this feature off.
* Thread Display Options > Show Users Browsing Threads – I have mine set to No for similar reasons as above.
* Forum Display Options > Maximum Displayed Threads Before Page Split – Having too many threads on a single page makes the page load slowly and so ideally you should have the value 20 or 40. I have this set to 20.

if u have access to the server:

I done some of these before in the past when i still owns a vbulletin 4 based forum.

Thank you for the feedback, no offense taken. We have already implemented all the above (and more!) and the issue goes deeper than that.
