new low for TTF posting bug

ttf_SilverBone · Post by **ttf_SilverBone** » Fri Nov 04, 2016 1:32 am

I just posted something on TTF, and got the usual long delay. While it was sitting there, one of those messages popped up that someone else had posted and I might want to review my post.

The "someone else who posted" was my own post.

Some days this happens to me on almost every post

And yet, sometimes it's great and I get immediate response. It's very frustrating and I can't do anything about it.

I just hit the "post" button once and then close the tab. Then I open another tab and check on it. So far, it has always posted my post. Maybe others' browser operates differently.

If you really want to know about frustration, I approve every new member. The site ALWAYS hangs up when I approve a new member. And it doesn't alter the "members waiting" count in my display, so I go back into the Approve Members page and see that there is nobody waiting when my main page is telling me that there is.

Perhaps TTF has reached its maximum member count?

Nope. Because the memberships go through immediately. The feedback to me hangs up.

Just make sure to copy your post first, I've been burned on this a couple times.

I think that's an excellent tip. I've even gone as far as pasting my potential post into a Word Doc and saving it overnight if I suspect it may be a little too controversial for some. If I think it's still a decent idea the next day, I'll go ahead and do it, then catch hell anyway. lol

I only notice the delay when I post in "Purely Politics".

I imagined it was some trick to stop people from back-and-forthing every two seconds.

It was a joke... Hence the smiley.

We all know there aren't enough trombonists in the galaxy to max out TTF.
