Apologies up front as this is actually a performance “problem” rather than a “bug”.
When posting a new thread topic, after clicking “Submit” it takes almost a minute for the website to refresh and display the new thread, during which time the page is unresponsive. This is something I have noticed many times and only occurs when creating a new thread. Please note that the tread does (eventually) post, and correctly. But the long response time makes one wonder if there is a problem or if the browser/computer has frozen.
Patience is a virtue, but the web waits for no one :)
Edit: oddly enough, response time for THIS new thread post was ~10 seconds.
Apr 13, 2022 at 10:03 am #3746206just don’t get impatient and hit “submit” again thinking it “didn’t take” the first time
then you’ll get a duplicate post : )
Apr 13, 2022 at 10:07 am #3746208Yeah. I am at least that smart :)
Apr 13, 2022 at 10:51 am #3746238Exactly
Apr 13, 2022 at 10:53 am #3746240Exactly
Apr 13, 2022 at 11:14 am #3746259Well demonstrated
Apr 13, 2022 at 11:59 am #3746266I am only medium smart, it took me a couple times to get the muscle memory to quit doing it
ha, ha, dirtbag is a comedian. Well played :)
Apr 13, 2022 at 3:02 pm #3746291If you do double-post there is a nice moderator who is happy to clean it up for you. You can always report it using Report This or chances are the moderator will take care of it without notification.
My perception is that the site is runs off of a very large database and that the delay is likely to be with us for the time being. I will report back.
Apr 13, 2022 at 5:44 pm #3746296there are other problems in the world more pressing
this one isn’t even annoying, just an opportunity for humor. or “dad jokes”
Apr 13, 2022 at 6:09 pm #3746302lol
Apr 13, 2022 at 6:09 pm #3746303lol
Apr 13, 2022 at 6:09 pm #3746304lol
Apr 13, 2022 at 6:10 pm #3746305Also, thanks for putting the problem into perspective.
Apr 13, 2022 at 6:16 pm #3746306When did BPL suddenly become so mellow :)
Now I’m kinda sorry I even brought it up.
Apr 14, 2022 at 7:27 am #3746325now I feel bad disrespecting your initial complaint
that is a totally valid complaint to make, even if it isn’t the most pressing problem in the world
(half sincere, half another attempt at humor)
Apr 14, 2022 at 7:40 am #3746326Not proud of upholding a long BPL tradition of making people feel bad with comments in a thread post.
To be perfectly clear, except for the OP every one of my posts in this thread (including this one) have been attempts at humor. Emphasis on “attempts”.
Apr 14, 2022 at 1:03 pm #3746377As long as your attempts are done with a nasally, gruff voice you’re okay. I mean, somebody has to take over for Gilbert.
Apr 14, 2022 at 4:30 pm #3746414he was a couple years younger than me
I must be modeling his humor, always getting into trouble
Apr 16, 2022 at 3:46 pm #3746656Update
We have a developer looking into it. It’s actually one of the developers who wrote the software the site runs on. We hope to have some news to share soon.
Apr 16, 2022 at 6:27 pm #3746673I’m placing my bet on a database optimization issue…stored procedure tuning, or a missing/insufficient index…maybe even resource contention. :)
