[FIXED] Forum Software Bugs?

I don’t seem to be able to upload images to the forum at the moment. I get a message saying “processing upload” when I drag/drop or paste, and the infinite spinny thing. I’d post a screen shot but…

It’s been intermittent over the last few weeks, but tonight it is stubbornly refusing to cooperate.

Anyone else having this, or maybe just something my end?

Have you tried when to refresh the page and then retry to upload the image?

Yes, sorry, should have said I tried that and also logged out of the forum and back in.

Still not working

It did now - after posting and then editing the post to upload the image

Have you also tried:

  1. Post the post without the images, refresh the page, then go back and edit the post with your images
  2. “Replying to Topic” seems to work better with the composer functionality then it does with “Replying to Post”

Ha! that worked!

Thank you!

Glad to hear it is working!

a note: for me much easier than these reload-ping-pong is to start a new post with a “Quote” instead a “Reply to…”… that will work always fine. “Reply to Post” is bugged…

As test I clicked on the “Reply to Post” button, then the “Quote” button, and it hung with a spinning progress indicator.

F5 to reload page worked, as it usually does.

not that way :slight_smile:

Directly “Quote” the text and let create a new editor window, without the step “Reply to…”

That does work. When I try to quote something when I am typing a reply (like this one) nothing happens. The “workaround” for me is

  • Refresh the Page
    Or
  • Quote before typing a reply.

It appears some of the forum “bugs” have been fixed with this last forum update (September 8, 2022). :slight_smile:

Thank you! :slight_smile:

They were still working on it just after the update. If the banner is removed, they are done. :slight_smile:
