Blank Screen After Posting

Neil · 15-07-2006, 21:21

I have noticed that I very often get the black screen after posting when my post is the first post of a new page in the thread. There must be some code that adds your post to the end of the page you posted on without refreshing the whole page like it used too.
Maybe someone with the right access level could check what happens when it decides your post will be the first on the new page.

I get that too every time it's a fresh page. the only way out of it is to press go or click on a menu or different page.
Hopefully roy will update soon, the new forum software is fast and doesn't stick at all.

Mine goes purple but that's because I've done some fiddling with the colours.

Madhatter · 16-07-2006, 23:52

whys your writing purple willow?

It may be an intermittent fault, software/server? I just done a couple of tests with the option of 5 posts per page and it appeared fine.
As a rule I have my option set at 30 posts per page, the default setting is 15.
You can change this option to what ever you like by going into your user cp and select Edit Options --> “Number of Posts to show Per Page” it’s a long shot but you never know, maybe something is tripping up on a certain value worth a try for the time being.

I have changed it Len to try out. All I need know is a thread with 29 posts in to try it

Ok I found one in the games forum with 29 posts. As soon as I clicked post quick reply my post appeared of a fraction of a second then the whole page when white and is said stopped in the status bar. I am using Firefox by the way.

Just a thought. Are other people getting the same thing? On seeing the blank white screen click back then submit the post again causing a double post.

Ber999T · 17-07-2006, 08:57

Just testing with this post to see what happens.

I went into a practice area and selected 5 posts per page and then did the tests I’m also using firefox. I’ll try it again and see what happens. Apart from that, it’s a bit over my head, sorry mate.

You can alter the amount of posts per page or see how many posts per page in user panel > options.

Mines running at 50 posts per page at the moment

KIPAX · 17-07-2006, 11:11

mines 100.... and people say... my message on page 2 .. or this thread has 8 pages..... hmmm duh

It sometimes happens to me so what I do if I think it's happened is copy the text in the post (just in case - i.e. highlight it and ctrl-c) then go to New Posts and usually it's there. If it's not I paste the text in to the box and post again.

It only seems to happen to me when it's a particularly long post and I've taken time writing it. If it's a short one it doesn't seem to matter where in the thread it is.
