Possible Posting Problems

[Joshua Farrell]

Over the last week or two, a couple of people has mentioned to me, but never described to me, that they receive a message at my forum saying that they either cannot post, or receive a warning or bug of some type before they can post.

I haven't added any coding, or modified permissions on posting, and yet this baffles me. I did testing with fake accounts in both firefox, and IE, and have yet to receive any errors or similar messages.

Could someone or two do a few test runs to see if they can post, and if not, what message pulls up, because I see nothing in the error logs, and no one has yet to describe to me on why they say they cannot post.

I tried in Firefox and posted fine. I would just ask users to next time copy and paste the error to you or atleast give a slight bit of help in describing it. It could be anything really. It could be a bad connection to the server to mod security being a bit to strict (a problem we had a lot on our previous host) to an issue on the clients side and even an issue with the RC version of SMF you are using. RC's are not good to use in a live environment (especially early RC's). There are hundreds of things that could cause a random problem when posting and without even a slight error message or even a hint as to what kind of error it was, no one can really help.

Can you post your MOD list please?
Also check to see if the bug has been fixed on the Mantis bug tracker.

To be honest, any one of those mods could have caused it, depending on your settings. When they get the error, ask them to copy and send it to you, it will help figure out the problem.
