I Cant Edit Posts...

Eli · July 6, 2002, 18:12

I dont know why.

Every time I press on the "save changes" button I get a "this page could not be found" page.

Eli · July 6, 2002, 18:13

The "Save Changes" button.

Works fine for me.

Eli · July 6, 2002, 18:27

The really weird thing is that I tried editing the first post immediately after I made the thread and I got this error page. But I noticed now that the editing was done.

Edit attempt, after clearing cookies and restarting.

Eli · July 6, 2002, 18:29

It happened again.

I edited the above post to add the last line. The line was added, but I still got that page.

Been having looong lags on making changes too. Leading to the 'problem with database' message. Usually refresh works at this point for me, however not today. The changes do get posted though, same as Eli noted.

Eli, the fact that you're an Emperor means you must have edited hundreds of posts before. So they problem must lie with your cimputer rather than Poly. Rather than just clearing your cookies, actually clear your Internet History files as well. Also, have you recently changed the settings on your firewall?

that happens to me sometimes... especially with polls... it usually just won't show the page but the changes have been made... seems to happen in larger threads more often

Skanky Burns · July 6, 2002, 23:56

Works fine for me normally.

Ok, it stuffed up for me too.

KrazyHorse · July 7, 2002, 02:37

It often does what you're saying (claims there's a problem with the database, or something) but then manages to make the edit anyway. Does it off and on. I usually just hit the back button a few times and refresh...

Skanky Burns · July 7, 2002, 02:45

I edited my message twice, once to say that the edit worked (and it ended up giving me that error).
A second time to say it stuffed up for me. Of course, this edit worked fine.

I clean all the garbage once in a few days...

Ecthy · July 7, 2002, 05:01

Wel, it just means I can never again say "edit that post quickly!"

Solver · July 7, 2002, 08:04

No idea, Eli, don't you get a message like

Quote:

There has been a slight problem with the database...

If not, I don't have much of an idea.

And an edit...

Eli · July 7, 2002, 08:33

No, I get a "this page could not be found" error.

KrazyHorse · July 7, 2002, 09:04

I get the other kind (database, please contact technical staff)...

That one doesn't seem as critical

Might it just be that Poly was overloaded when you attempted the edit?

Eli · July 7, 2002, 13:18

I tested it 5 times today, in different hours and it still didnt work.

I think those are variations on the same server problem, KH and Eli. Eli - if you look a little further down the message page, does it say that you're getting Error 500? If so, then you just need to refresh and resubmit your info. An Error 500 is on the server side, not the client.
