+efflandt Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I am new to this forum (and geocaching) and only posted 2 replies so far. But both times I got an error page "Php Fatal error: Maximum exection time of 45 seconds exceeded..." while attempting to use the "Add Reply" button which would lead me to think that my post did not work. But when I viewed the topic it had successfully posted. If I hadn't checked that, I could easily see how the error could lead someone to double or triple post. I also had severe lag attempting to log in the first time, which timed out with an error and I had to try again. Any idea what causes these timeout errors, or is the site just too busy at times? I am using IE 7.0 on DSL that is usually 5 Mbps. PS: This post was prompt with no error, but I did not use Preview first like I did with the other replies.

You have successfully passed the first three tests for new posters in the forum. 1) You posted a clear and understandable posting. 2) Excellent spelling. 3) You avoided the dreaded Double Post! Too bad most of the people have been on here so long they've been grandfathered in and don't have to meet these requirements. Don't know why, but the timeouts do occur occasionally. Welcome to the addiction! Quote Link to comment
+sportside Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, in my experience they are 'normal' on the forums. I usually type a reply, copy it, then hit Add Reply. Most of the time they go through, but when they don't I just check before posting it again. I don't like double posting... Quote Link to comment
+efflandt Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Everything seems to be working smoothly now even when I preview. Maybe it was just a first day thing when things carried over from geocaching.com to the forums. Quote Link to comment
