Related Error messages: When posting new topics, the page will sometimes take forever to load

Basically, whenever someone tries posting a reply to any topic, the post won't go through, and the page will sit there and load forever. This happens completely randomly, so I can't reproduce the problem at all. I am running SMF off my own home server, so I've got full access to MySQL and PHP if that's the case.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

That TP version you are running has been updated to the latest public available TP 1.0 Beta 3, I suggest you upgrade. That TP version had some bad bugs...Also that version of SMF is 2 versions behind that latest SMF 1.1.8 and there are security fixes in the SMF versions so I would upgrade that also and that may fix your issues.

Well the problem is, I can't update anything. My board is so effed up between all the mods to the point where the updates for SMF don't even work. I tried updating to 1.1.8 once and all hell broke lose. I was lucky that I was even able to get it working again.

Not to sound like the bearer of bad news but your problem it sounds like is the mixture of ALL those mods. Some mods don't play well with others. I would try one at a time uninstalling mods until you find the culprit stealing all the cpu cycles. Since your problem points at posting you might start with the double post stopper mod and see if that helps.

[darkspreader]

ok, thanks. Ironically that was like one of the only mods that successfully uninstalled. I guess I'll have to go through all the other ones and do a manual uninstall.

Thanks. I'll report back if I get into any other things relating to my problem.

Edit: I just noticed that most of failed checks for the uninstall of some of the mods relate to the default theme's files, like profile.template.php. Is it ok if I just go ahead and proceed with the uninstall of the mod? I'm currently using a custom theme, and I disallowed access to change your theme, so I don't know if that'd be an issue or not.

I have over 40 packages installed on my site.. most mods I have to install manually now. I plan to start fresh soon, theres at least 2 I don't use

[Q] When was the last time you performed any site Maintenance?

Maintenance > Forum Maintenance >> Forum Maintenance - General Maintenance > Run the first 5 tasks, excluding: Convert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters


[Q] Do you have any errors in the logs?

Maintenance > Forum Maintenance >> Forum Error Log: Clear them, then from fresh, go about the site doing what you normally do, post a few test posts. When the page hangs, go back and check the error log.


[Q] What errors do you have in the Server logs? You may not have any in the forum relating to this issue, but the server logs might have.


[Q] Do you get any error pages when the site hangs? a 405 Error message, for example.


[Q] How are you replying/posting? Following links on the Home Page, from a Recent topic?, for example.. Replying using the topic Reply button? Replying using the topic Quick Reply?

This is really an SMF issue and you should be asking there for support first, as posting in the forum is SMF.

HAHAHAHAHA.. I can't believe somebody made a mod from this:

12.    Remove Quoted Images


Ahahahahahahahahaha.... *pause*.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA     *cough*... Sorry

in the theme style.css file, (Any theme).

find:

Code Select Expand



/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote
{
CUSTOM STYLE
ATTRIBUTES
}





Add after

Code Select Expand


.quote img
{
  display: none;
}



* Zetan wonders if this mod's instuctions tell you how to add it manually to custom themes.
