I’ve limited the number of links people can post to deal with a certain spam attack however this causes problems for regular users who unintentionally post more than the set # of links by dumping them unceremoniously to the main page losing their post (often a very long one) in the process. Is there any way to change this behavior so instead it just gives a warning or something?

I can’t replicate this I am afraid. With all testing so far it always returns to the post page with the post content intact and an appropriate message to the user.
So – can you reproduce this behaviour every time? If so there may be a script problem we need to investigate.
I don’t know, I’ve never had the issue because as Admin I’m not restricted in how many links I can post.. I’ll ask my members to test this.
Also important to note that this was happening before the upgrade too.
It looks like it may not be the links issue that’s causing this behavior… I’ve tried narrowing down what may be causing it but I haven’t come up with anything .. here’s the discussion thread from my users (includes other issues people have reported since the upgrade, most due to server issues which I think were sorted out by my host) maybe something there will twig for you that I’ve overlooked.

Sorry but that is a LOT or posts and I really do have limited time,. Can you point me at one or two in particular.
By the way – are you sure you have enough php memory defined? You are running 25 posts to a page load there which is a bit heavy – especially if there were lots of images, long posts etc. Would slow down mobile use as well considerably I would have thought…
I haven’t noticed mobile use being slow… I’ll reconsider how that’s set up.
As to the other I’ll have to get back to you, snowed under for the next couple of weeks.
Also.. can you edit my link out of the prev post? Appreciated, thanks.
Sounds like my problem!
The forum looks good on your site by the way.
Will remove link – might need it again one day of course!
