dimebolt Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Try previewing your post by going to preview post, or more reply options. Once on the preview screen, click on the post, or the add your reply button, and it will work. I started running into this problem as long ago as a couple of months, and this seems to work every time. Hope this helps.

It is the reason I'm still posting here. I was getting so flustered every time I would post pics and or have something to say, and it would just go on forever. I was about to quit trying to post, until I figured this out. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Strange, but I haven't had any problems with posting. Sometimes the site loads S-L-O-W-L-Y, but usually not. One I got that SQL Error, too. But really there has been nothing special in my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Too late. Now what do I do? Micro Mark has a panty unbuncher, but it is a bit pricy and you can only use it in conjuntion with a waist band expander(british bands won't work).

Danno Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've had the same experience (failure to upload a post) quite often, when I've tried to use the black "Post" button at the bottom right corner of a topic. Usually happens 60% - 80% of the posts I've tried to enter. But I've found one sure-fire work-around: Use the black "Reply to this Topic" button at the upper right corner of the thread instead. Works first time every time. At least for me. Your mileage may differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes it also runs for a long time before it loads the post. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm on a Mac with Firefox. No problems posting, no SQL errors, but a bit slow; although infrequently. These problems can be a real drag. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I post from my phone quite a bit, I only get server errors late at night and not when posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's not just you. As Derick says...slow and lots of SQL errors lately. Although I find it difficult to believe that there are still people who use IE. Even more difficult to believe that people will admit they do! Do you ride a dinosaur to work, too? Sorry, but I like IE far better than that piece of junk firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signguy2108 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wow! Glad to read all of this, I thought it was just me. Takes forever to post something and then may have to repost 3 or 4 times. LOL, just had to repost this reply twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing in Action Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah this is a crazy,aggrevating problem...But, I have learned a little "cheat"....Type in your post content(pics included) and Right click and copy your entire post,Then hit the Little black "Post" button....And give it about 10-15 seconds to post. If you get the little green bar with flashing dots and nothing is happening after several seconds, Hit the refresh button on the address bar and refresh the page.Then hit the Reply button and the clear reply screen will come up, Right click and "Paste" and you can hit the Post button again and it will post on the thread!! This works very well for me, So, you really have nothing to lose by trying this!! And at least you won't have to retype your post....I'm just trying to help....Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Roy is correct, it is how I have been having to post here for well over a month. Even tried composing in Word, pasting and posting only to get the green blocks in a loop. At least 75% of the time I have to do the copy/back up/repaste trick. Figures, worked OK that time...

CadillacPat Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I use IE and sometimes Mozilla, both without a problem in the whole time I've been here. I routinely empty my cache and delete all temporary files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I routinely empty my cache and delete all temporary files. That is a good point to make, sometimes that will solve some issue's one might be having Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
