I've seen some reports of threads not working to save posts anymore (automatically) but on refresh they do get submitted.

I have seen this issue in "the thread formerly known as" topic because it also happens to me. This is an issue we haven't worked out yet, but my first suggestion is to close them and then reopen a new thread.

Our database is quite large and it could be a number of things causing these issues to happen, anyway if you run across this problem, link the thread here and I'll check it.

Thanks.

Was able to post to the first two threads immediately using fast reply.

Please only report threads that don't allow you to do this.

Edit: The forum was fixed earlier today, but I confirmed the "thread formerly known as" still had the posting issue, so I've created a new one.

Double check if problem topics now work before reporting ;)

I get 'Saving Post' thing from all of these

I haven't included the ones I haven't posted in

OK so this seems to happen to people who participated in the thread before hmm. The Cyanide & Happiness one is 245 pages long, I started it and have posted in it a ton of times and that thread isn't broke. But it also doesn't have a lot of attachments either.

This thread that I started in 2004 also works for me https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/192812-forum-fun-images/page__st__1740

Can you log out of Neowin and then back in again, then retry posting in any of those threads you reported?

Yup, that's the thing.

If you have posted some amount of posts in the thread before, chances are that it will get stuck.

Conversly, Mass Effect 3 thread has over 1000 replies, and I have been posting it for quite some time, but it never gets stuck. At least for now

And conversely x2, I had zero posts in World of Warcraft Thread, but in my very first post, it got stuck

Weird https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251812-world-of-warcraft-thread/page__view__findpost__p__594794507 worked for me.

Please don't slate me for asking this, because I'm genuinely interested to know... but I guess you've asked Invision if they're aware of this issue. Have you had a response from them at all?

We've asked Invision a lot about large databases and they are finally starting to do something about it in the 3.x versions. 3.3 is another (mostly) backend update so I hope things will improve with that update when we can upgrade.

Good stuff, thanks for the reply :)

    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.

      Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
