Why does it take so long to edit posts?

Astar · Post by **Astar** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 2:24 am

On every other forum ive ever used, post editing was just as quick as posting a new thread or reply, here it is never fast and often takes hideiously wrong.

Why?

Don't worry about giving an answer in straight up tech gibberish, If theres anything I don't understand I don't mind doing a bit of research to fill in the blanks.

Yes I notice that. In fact often when I try to edit a big post, such as the Sourcebook contents or the Coping list of strategies, my browser crashes altogether

It's weird

often my browser will hit hte one minute limit thing that it has for trying at something, and the popup that it waited too long will come up .. then I click try again, and it usually goes immediately. but if I try clicking the button more than once, all chaos breaks loose, by which I mean, that the "this post or topic does not exist" things comes up

Normally when I edit a post, I just edit it, click submit, wait a second, then close the page, and open a new one, and my post is edited...... magic

Yes I've noticed that it actually does edit it even if it doesn't finish loading... weirdness abound!

but i've found that it edits even if it's not done as well

I was just thinking, Astar, do you use any other boards that are the *size* of BUS ? maybe it has to do with this board being as large as it is.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Mon May 03, 2004 11:12 pm

Nah it's been this way for years, I almost said

At least as long as I've been here, I think.

Proximity · Post by **Proximity** » Mon May 03, 2004 11:33 pm

I'll let you know when I make my huge 1 year anniversary post

Astar · Post by **Astar** » Tue May 04, 2004 8:24 pm

prox yes larger and smaller ones.

One of the ones iis about the size of BUS and has pretty sketchy quality of a server computer, Really BUS is on the smaller side of forums.

and here i was thinking that it was some conspiracy to discourage perfectionism in those who find themselves compulsively going back to edit their typos.

My solution:

I've grown tired of the time it takes to submit an edit also. I've remedied this by typing my orginal reply, hitting preview, oops I forgot to do spell check, hit preview again, opps I wanted that in a different color, hit preview, oops the spell check didn't catch that typo, hit preview . . .

finally I am happy. Hit send, it's submitted for the first time, and no need to take forever editing it after I've posted.
