Errrr....where's me beer?


WWW
« on: May 19, 2007, 11:21:59 PM »

Is anyone sufffering the same problem as me when trying to quote other member's posts when replying?

Nine times out of 10, I'm getting an error message, that says (for instance) ....

Error: Object required
Line: 30
URL:http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/yabbse/index.php?topic=20720.msg265402


This one was the last one I replied to, in the NEW RT CD thread.

Along with this error message, there appears a wide green banner with 'LOADING' written it, across the screen (usually just above the post I'm quoting from, obliterating the 'quote' button), which is frustrating because, I found, if you try it again, it will quote the post when clicked on a second time.

When this happens, it also takes two attempts to post it - the first provides another error message, saying that my session has timed out.

Colin - please sort it - it's been a problem since that server crash, or maybe the last software upgrade. Can't remember which.

I'm using IE6 and XP.

And I believe Sandra has had a problem with quoting too.

Quotes work for me on various platforms.

OSX using Firefox (and IE)
XP with Firefox
Vista with firefox. Can't remember if I tried quotes on IE7 with Vista but if you want me to I can next week.

His the reply button a second time, Andy, and it should work. You might need to hit the post button twice too.

I'm using IE 7 and XP. Everything fully updated, and never had a problem.

At college I have IE 6, and a badly installed XP, only updated to SP1, and "corrupted" by the RM shell.

No problem there either.

Just used above to see if I have problems. No problems with me. Just hit the quote object and all systems go.

I sometimes see a green "loading" bar appear for a second or so. After it has gone quick reply contains the quote. Very occasionally it sticks and a second press of quote is necessary. Never had problems with post.

It never disappears freely in my case - I'm always pressing 'quote' a second time.

The "Loading" message is generated at your end, if the page takes longer than expected to load.

At the very bottom of every page there is a line that says "Page created in n.nn seconds with n queries."

If the time is about the same as how long you waited for the page to be displayed, then the speed is being limited by the server and it's connection.
If it takes much longer than the displayed time, then it's your connection or PC.

One problem is that the page hasn't actually completed loading, which is often due to images hot-linked from other sites.

Ok, I get this after the page has definitely finished loading and the "Loading..." message appears more-or-less instantly I click on "Quote". The "Page Created" display doesn't appear to change when I click on "Quote".

I get the impression it's a server end problem since this occurs on three PC's in my home.

I don't get any of these. I just cannot quote. I press 'quote' and nothing happens. It does not happen very often though.

Specifically, I got a permanent "Loading" message when seeking to quote this a couple of minutes ago and no amount of clicking on "Quote" changed matters.

The "Page Created" message was about .235 seconds. Mostly I see about .17 or less.

It's interesting that I've only seen this with "Quote" and not with "Modify".

I've never had any problem in work or at home, or on the laptop.  Cool

Is it anything to do with ActivX settings?

This is very reproducible. I just tried again and again got a permanent "Loading" message.

If it was ActiveX settings I'd expect not to see the same problem on all three PCs...
