New Posts Stalling/Having to Refresh Page

[ezbass]

When adding new posts to threads today, the site seems to be stalling on "saving', requiring a page refresh to see the post. Anyone else having got is issue? I'm using Safari.

 

EDIT: It didn't happen to post this question.

It is, randomly on posts - the server is critically low on disk space and until the problem is properly resolved, the system isn't caching properly.

 

Hopefully it can get sorted soon

Yep me too, just randomly on Firefox, but it's all good.

Same here, all posts are stalling when you click to post. It doesn't automatically refresh and just hangs on that 'save' load screen.

 

If you manually refresh the page, the comment does seem to have been posted, but like others it seems to require a manual nudge at the moment!

Yep, specially when editing...

I’ve gone from 35 pages of attachments to 2 - I had a ridiculous amount stored up.

 

If everyone did the same - the servers might not be as clogged 🤣

Would deleting sales threads over 18/24 months old make a difference?

 

And yes, I appreciate some gear stays up for ages - but I’m sure anyone who’s not sold for 2 years might want to repost with revised pictures/Price etc.

I had a post take ages to go through this morning, and although its there in the thread it hasn't shown up in the list of my posts on my profile page. Refreshing the page has made no difference.

I had an even more brutal method

The site was down briefly last night as well. Presumably connected.

The easiest way to sort this till ped changes the rubber bands is to just refresh the page yourself manually after you've made a post

[Newfoundfreedom]

Yup. I've been having the same problem. 

Post something and the wheel just keeps turning for an age. I think the Hamster is on its last legs. 

 

Manually refreshing the feed seems to do the trick.

Is there any reason to have space for photos on the Basschat server?

 

I've nearly always used an external host for any photos I thought worthy of posting on here. I've occasionally used the Basschat space for photos that I know are for ephemeral threads, and I try and clear them out on a regular basis. I've just checked my profile and there were about 30 currently on there which I have now deleted. I know in the grand scheme of things my 500/200GB of space is all but irrelevant, but feel free to remove my quota completely to free up space and I'll stick to using externally hosted images.
