KenS Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Is it just me, or is the Preview button when posting not working? I've tried multiple times with two posts to preview my comment, and it just hangs and never displays the Preview. It just says "Fetching preview..." in the Preview Post section. Posting works fine. It failed for this one too, making three posts having the problem. Link to comment
David Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yes, it seems to hang or take several minutes to complete for at least a week I think. Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ah, it seems I'm not alone in encountering this problem. The preview really helps when making longer posts. Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hrm. I hadn't noticed myself, but your experiences are duly noted. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I've been noticing sparatic issues as well with the board. Like/Unlike link missing from entire threads, missing from some posts but noth others. I have one thread I Was looking that that had only Unlike, despite the fact that I never showed that I liked it. (Scott was the only like for the post) A lot of little issues with the likes lately.

That's because, as a moderator, you can make anyone unlike a like they placed on a post :D Also, there is at least one forum with liking disabled, and I'm willing to bet that's why they might seem to disappear?

brill27mcb Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I tried sending a personal message to another member, and at the bottom I was asked to type in the distorted letters in the picture below -- except that there was no picture below! Message aborted... Rich K. Link to comment
keitaro Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 so i hadn't been bothered to post this but the other day when i created the thread about tomix sept release i had to edit it 3 times as when i would open the thread to read it it was just an empty box. eventually after 3 edits it worked. i do have a feeling this thing is on a collision course with a shinkansen.

ShinCanadaSen Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Preview just hung for me when I was posting this afternoon. I clicked "preview" and nothing happened. Firefox status bar indicated that it was processing/ waiting but after about a minute I just hit post and the message posted right away. Kai Link to comment
KenS Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I just had a thought: the preview problem started after I upgraded to Firefox 4 (from 3). Is anyone experiencing this problem who isn't using FF4? Link to comment
ShinCanadaSen Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yeah, still using Firefox 3.6.x at home..... Link to comment
keitaro Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 hmm it happens on my works ie6 and homes ie 9 as well thouhg just tested Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hmmm.. I don't seem to have a problem with preview, but I haven't been able to quote anyone for a while.. And that's not a browser issue since I've tried Safari, Firefox, Camino on OS X, Safari and IE9 on Windows7 and even Safari Mobile on the iPad.. None of them work :) Good thing we're (slowly) working on migrating to a new forum system :) Link to comment
keiman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Preview not working here either, also cannot quote . IE8 on two computers. Link to comment
Dani Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can see previews with no problems, Google Chrome. Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Keitaro, There is another technical term .... but I'd get into trouble for using it here !!! BTW, not working for me either on IE8. Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 OK, wow. That's pretty bad, if it isn't working in IE8. Grr. Would those suffering issues be willing to wait a couple of months until we can migrate to a new platform? Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I do wonder what caused it though, because we haven't changed anything recently.. Link to comment
KenS Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Would those suffering issues be willing to wait a couple of months until we can migrate to a new platform? If I had to, but it's REALLY inconvienient when writing a long post not to be able to review it with preview. I catch a lot of typos (and I make a lot of typos) that I wouldn't otherwise quote. On a long post, I'll typically preview it a half-dozen or more times. Link to comment
KenS Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 It seems to be working now. Thanks. Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just thought I'd give it a test with IE9 - yup ... all working! Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Excellent! Let me know if it breaks again, k? Link to comment
