Try another browser and let me know if you still can't do it.

Using explorer now and it half works..i paste the user name and click the Okay button and it responds, the entered name disappears..and thats it.

I go out and come back to the page (not with the back button) and the user isnt added to my ignore list.

Excuse the typos...explorer = no spell checker

There does seem to be a problem with the buttons when editing your ignore list via the UserCP. I will get someone to look at it and get it fixed ASAP. In the meantime, you can add someone to your ignore list by viewing their profile and clicking on "Add to Ignore List".

I use Firefox and they had an upgrade this morning.
You can have little pages of the sites you look at for the day all on the one page. just click on what you want.

Joe, I'm having difficulty with being unable to post anything longer than about four paragraphs, e.g. if I quote the post to which I want to respond, and then add my remarks, click on Submit, nothing happens. I've had to substantially reduce the no of characters to get it to go through and this alters the meaning.

Hi Joe,

I often get this reply to a failed attempt to post when I quote a long previous post.

No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

It occurred prior to the upgrade.

Is there a character, word limit on "quoted text " ?

Hi Julia, it's very strange that nothing happens when you click the "Submit Reply" button. If there was something wrong with your post you would normally receive an error message of some sort. I'm guessing that this issue may be related to the one So_Cynical was experiencing last night when trying to add someone to his ignore list.

As an experiment could you go to "Settings" and then "Edit Ignore List" and try and add someone to your ignore list and let me know if what happens there when you click on the buttons is similar to what's been happening when you try and post?

Trying to diagnose these issues can be tricky and it's good to have as much information as possible.

Hi GG, this appears to be a Google Chrome issue: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/E9OS9mS6yc8

Are you using Google Chrome to browse ASF?

Thanks Joe,

I am using Chrome.

I'll try Firefox to respond to long posts.

I've tried it with Firefox and get this box

The connection was reset







The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.





The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Perhaps it is not possible to quote long posts and reply?

Joe, I've done this, entered a member's name and clicked on OK. Nothing happens.

gg I'm using Firefox so doubt you will solve the problem by switching to this.

Btw, Joe, I've had the long post nothing happening issue long before the upgrade, in case you are thinking it just applies in the last couple of days.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who is experiencing similar connection issues to GG. Please post in this thread if you have been getting similar error messages. I haven't been having trouble but others might, and it would be good to know if this is an isolated issue or something more widespread.

OK, thanks Julia. I'll do some investigating and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

For what it is worth Joe, I think there may be a limit in words or characters which can be included in a quote. It doesn't occur on ordinary posts, but only on long ones quoted.

[Julia]

Yep, that ties in with my experience also, gg.
Eventually, the only way I could get the post up was to delete most of the quoted post to which I was responding.

I have just increased the maximum post length by a significant amount. Let me know if this makes a difference.

Sorry Joe,

Still doesn't work.

I've been trying to reply to dutchies post on the GG Lawyers and Trolley thread all evening with the error message displayed on preview or posting.

[Logique]

I've found Firefox has lots of annoying little quirks. I don't use it for ASF, or much else for that matter.

Routinely quoting long entries is something I try to avoid.

I had a little bit of trouble trying to post on skc's thread this morning. Having selected a quote from his posts, when I tried to post further information the screen kept rolling up (content down and out of sight) away from the cursor?
