For quite a while now (it started before the 5 upgrade) some of my users have been experiencing issues when posting, replying or editing their posts, after hitting the
I’ve been trying for a long time to narrow down what may be causing the problem but so far have found nothing in common with the people that this happens to.
It DOES seem to be limited to certain topics, though it can also happen with a brand new topic as well.
Here’s what I know:
- It’s not browser specific, can happen on IE, Firefox or Chrome
- It’s not operating system specific, can happen on Mac or PC
- It’s not plugin related, I’ve disabled all WP & SP plugins and the problem remains
- It can happen on new post, reply or edit
- It seems to occur fairly consistent in some topics but can also happen with a brand new topic
- It seems to be related to longer posts, a short 1-2 sentence post seems to go through ok
- There don’t have to be links or smilies or any kind of code or attachment, a long text-only post can still create problems
- When trying to edit an existing post after being dumped to the home page after trying to save (the post doesn’t save) I noticed the address will be http://websiteaddy.com/#postnumber
- Some people appear to never have problems, and even in some of the problem threads some people post without issue, others consistently cannot post in those threads (except very short posts)
If I think of anything else I’ll add it
ETA: I don’t know if it might be in some way connected to this problem, while this problem only has a visible issue when using IE I guess it’s possible there’s still something going on but just not visible in other browsers.
