Problem making a thread or reply


Recommended Posts

Every other post seems to not work correctly, I hit add reply and it loads to about 38% but instead of posting it takes me back to the main forum page.

I also got a few errors of an "authorization mismatch" :wacko:

Any ideas on why?

That is odd, I have not had any issues lately with posting or replying to posts, have you tried using normal IE and/or Firefox to see if that happens?

Well seems to be happening in firefox as well, I can't edit above post.

And just incase it doesn't work, I did say thanks a lot of making it post locked :)

Well, instead of sending me back to the main forum page, firefox just stays on the page when it's done loading but with "submit modify post" cleared out so I can't edit :s

No problem, odd problem you have. Might be something to keep an eye on and see if it isn't a connection problem with your ISP and the server. I'm going to do some connection tests to your ISP here in a few minutes to check. :)

I did run into a few odd issues shortly after your ISP's primary connection router, they may be experiencing some packet loss there, the data did go through but it was very slow in doing so.

I might suggest contacting your ISP and asking them if they are having problems or service being done on their network. :)

Well it just started happening today, I was trying to post to someone's topic in which got the auth mismatch error.. After say 3 or 4 failed attempts it started to kick me to the main forum page now.

I did a tracert and ping test to neowin, and they look pretty good, under 55ms to neowin.net and no packet loss.

And during this time, I have restarted my pc a few times, so a restart doesn't help ;)

Only thing they said is that they are working on some issues, so that could be the cause.

Hopefully that will get fixed soon, thanks again ;)

It may be some sort of caching going on. You might have somehow gotten a cached copy of the redirect page that redirects to the main page, somehow.

Well, I have deleted all temp files, cookies and cleared them spybot and ccleaner. Not sure if there would be anything left behind to cause it.

Any number of times today I've tried to post a reply only to have the page (and reply) not load. Tried reposting, refreshing the page, leaving the site and returning.... some posts go through, some do not. Happened on several different systems on my end. I use IE.

It wouldn't be on our end - it's absolutely an issue at the site. But to answer your question I use OOL.

I use OOL i couldn't do the same either!!!

I haven't been able to post on neowin for the last 6 hours! :blink:

I would just get "waiting for neowin.net" when i hit "Add Reply"

Every other website works for me, neowin was b0rked!

Yeah, it does seem to be just neowin, been browsing and haven't really had a website stop responding or redirect me to the main forum section lol

I'll give it a day or so to see if the problem is still here.

I seem to get that a few times a day.

It redirects me to the forum index when updating my signature/editing a post/making a post; happens randomly.
