System hangs for anybody else when trying to post?

[jim hardy]

I compose, click "post" and nothing happens just a litt;le gray icon in upper right shows dots moving across it as if something were happening.
If i get mad and hit "reply" a half dozen times, then several posts appear and i have to delete the duplicates.
If i close the browser and reload PF there's my post

It's intermittent,
right this minute my last post shows in "Random Thoughts" and is also in "reply" area as if still pending .

Started several days ago.

Just happened to me replying to one of your post. Makes me wonder ...

 

[Nugatory]

I see this fairly often. Anecdotally, it happens when I'm behind a NAT router and a lossy internet connection.

Yup... exactly as you describe it.

...a lossy internet connection.

I've got FTTP with decent speed, so I don't think it's a bad internet connection, but...[COLOR=#black]..[/COLOR]Another odd thing happens... right at midnight, for me anyway. I seem to lose my connection to this forum, and this one only... it stays that way for right about one or two minutes, then it's fine... ?

Other weird things happen .
I ordered a truck shop manual yesterday from an Ebay seller in Texas, USPS notification says it's being shipped from England . ?
A "Rocket Propellant Handbook" i ordered from Powell's in Oregon took a month to arrive and was postmarked Ohio.. So i took "Plutonium Handbook" off my wish list.

NSA ? I'd be flattered...

Used to be there was basically one middleman, with the internet who knows how many ? and if Trump gets elected he might switch it off

 

[jim hardy]

and if Trump gets elected he might switch it off

which might be a good thing...

Testing, after "restore firewall defaults"

 

[jim hardy]

wow, it worked instantly. No delay, no double post.

Tip of the hat to @dlgoff !

Hmm auto-complete for @user seems to not work though.
Computers are just that way.

For me it happens at 11pm, PDT, and you're one time zone to the east from me, so it would be midnight for you. That's when the PF server reboots.

That's right...

I thought it might be something like that... thanks.

I'm still having a few issues. Will add to our conversation. lots to figure.

 

[jim hardy]

it's back to old tricks again

computers are just that way. Never trust one with anything. Period.

I find reloading the page takes care of the issue every time, try that right after clicking "post"

Yeah, it sure seems to... That's what I've been doing, anyway...

except when your post in progress disappears and you lose 2 hours of typing.

Anybody tried uninstalling "alljoyn router" ? It looks to be a promiscuous add-on.

That would be new to me.

This is new to me also, what browser do you use?

Do a "select-all" followed by a "copy" before you risk the reload, and you'll be able to paste it back in after the reload. I do this routinely when I'm using my ancient iPad/Safari and posting wants to hang.

With newer browsers, the forum software's automatic draft save works well as long as your Internet connection stays up.

I won't and really can't vouch for this at all, but it might be something to take a look at... it's about 20 minutes long, and click Show More...

Yeah, I haven't had a post in progress disappear on PF, yet...

I've had it happen on other ones, though... [COLOR=#black]...[/COLOR]

how do i get into it ? Clicking "outbound connections"

Be careful, these settings can be redone fairly easily, but security permission settings will give your computer problems and you down-time, hence why I'm just now replying.

Here you go:

I'm working with a clean slate. Is this what you're seeing?

That's Greg's image, so I feel safe.

Edit:
BTW @Greg Bernhardt, when posting this reply, the "dot thingy" remained on the window and the window never refreshed so I thought I was still in reply/edit mode (it got posted as viewed from another tab). I left clicked on the .gif and inspected the element and deleted the node then I could refresh the page.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Keep the reports coming. I'm working on a few things and like hitting a circuit breaker, you don't know if it worked unless the light doesn't turn on. So I need confirmations.

What I need is for someone who is having trouble to post having Google Timeline recording network, memory and JS.

Good luck. I'm not sure I even understand what you need. I feel for you Greg.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I think the app was causing this. I have installed a patch. Keep me updated.

 

[1oldman2]

Working very smoothly this time.

I see this very regularly over the last ~ 3 weeks - a month. Mainly when posting when there are attached images

I too was initially hitting post reply several times then having to delete the dups. Have since discovered that just reloading
the page shows that the post has appeared on the page without the need to repostingDave

Yeah, posting images did seem to make it worse, also, the like button works better now... thanks Greg.[COLOR=#black]..[/COLOR]

a quote from
http://www.techrepublic.com/article...ljoyn-making-the-internet-of-things-possible/
about Alljoyn

The goal of the AllSeen Alliance and the AllJoyn protocol is to make connecting things to the network a simple plug-and-play experience. Plug in your brand new LG 79" class 2160P Smart 3D Ultra HD 4K TV and it's immediately seen and connected to any AllJoyn device on the network. In particular, Microsoft wants that connection to be to any Windows 10 device. There are numerous devices already supporting the AllJoyn protocol, and more are sure to follow.

Why you should care
From a business perspective, IoT is where big data analytics will reveal its true power. All of these interconnected devices are going to be continually sending feedback data for seemingly mundane facts, like how long the lights have been on. This plethora of data will be systematically analyzed to reveal patterns that can be exploited to save costs, increase revenues, direct advertising, and establish customer relationships, among other things.

By tapping into all of the IoT- generated data, companies may end up knowing more about you than you do yourself. And the more interoperable the AllJoyn framework is, the more data there will be to work with. Where all of this data collection will lead and what it means for concepts like privacy is an open question, but rest assured that things are going to be different.

okay here goes, going to tap "post"EDIT worked fine that time Greg !
