The last ten times I've tried to quote a post the site just locks up and I get the old "not responding" from the IE.

Not lately.

No problems here.

Nope.

Works fine for me!

THEEK!

Nice try there Numanoid but I didn't get the mirror.

BTW, it's now working half the time.

I concur.

My heads hurts.

Me too. And I was trying to quote you. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

It was a really long fucking post, too. (It'll be the one in the bedroom thread. I was previewing it half-way through, so I didn't lose too much. It still sucked though. I also smartened up and saved the post in a notepad program just in case it did it again when I tried to post it. Of course, it did.

Yes
I had IE crash on me several times. I even rebooted. I still can't post with quotes.

It's working again.

It seemed to be working well most of the day and then I went to quote WhoGirl's bedroom post (oddly enough) and it started acting up again. I tell ya, I smell a conspiracy.

They're probably still trying to fix the general problem with the forums running slowly at times. I had the usual problems earlier today.

I think it's more than trouble quoting a post. I'm having a very bad problem just posting in general, or editing my post, whether I quote someone or not.

You do have people working for you who know computers, don't you?

Hello?

Anyone in there?

I just made up a long reply with URLs to sites etc. for someone and hit reply. It locked up.


I hadn't had problems in the last few days and thought it was over. Maybe the long time spent replying is what locks it up.

Sure enough, I did a long reply and it locked up. At least I saved it in an email this time.

So that seems to be the problem with the reply lock up.

Having the same problem intermittently.

*eagerly awaits response from management

I'm getting the lock problem randomly (though not today, though I wasn't online much).

Not just with quotes, but with any kind of replies or edits. Browser goes to not responding for a minute or two, then it snaps out of it and puts the post through.

I had a delay of 6 minutes just a second ago. Post eventually went through though. Apparently the trick is to just wait out the (not responding) and it'll go through.

I smell something

I'm getting the usual delays intermittently, but recently I've had a problem quoting ONE particular post, and it doesn't make any sense.

I tried to quote a post by PopcornTreeCt in one of the threads, and I got total lockup...every time. So I just made a post in the thread and didn't quote. Then I eventually found I could go to other threads and quote, so I thought the problem was solved. I tried to go back and insert his quote into my post...total lockup again, several more times. Then I tried something different. I quoted his post without inserting his ID into the post. Bingo. It took it with no problem. Just for goofs, I edited one more time and tried to enter his name into the quote...total lockup. So I just left the post with a quote credited to nobody and called it a day. But like I said, I've had no problems quoting anybody else in any other thread; just this one and only time.

EDIT: I just tried to enter PopcornTreeCt's name into that quote again...locked up completely. Yet, I see Michael Corvin was able to quote the same exact post, AND was able to use PTC's name in the quote.

I have had the locking problem, but only with LONG posts with links (or anything with an external URL, like images etc.)

I have waited several minutes of frustration before shutting down IE. Guess I didn't wait it out correctly. But it isn't just for replies (or 'reply with quote'). For example, the opening two posts of my "high end washer/dryer" thread choked as one post (there were pics in the post) so I made it 2.

To the best of my recollection, I have NEVER had it on a "regular sized" post, or one without external links.

I also noticed a problem when including stuff with "smart quotes", but I think that is unrelated to this issue. I also no longer use Word when composing long posts.

I had the issue the other day. It was a long post as well.
