So,
I've bin away for a couple of months, work and winter
kept me from beach cats stuff.
Now, every time I reply to a subject on the beachcats.com,
the message cadre becomes absurt big.
Any word I type triples or more the cadre (frame).
When I press "submit" on the bottom, something like
this pops up
And I have to restart safari to even surf the interweb again!!

Also, i've seen a lot of "double" post overhere, lately...

I am a professional sound-engineer, and still in "mavericks"
cause the update with "captains" doesn't recognize our
very important sound-cards and other stuff.

How to get rid of this annoying problem?

Thanks, André

I haven't been able to figure out what is causing some people, including me, to get a JSON error popup when submitting a post. It must be some incompatibility between the server PHP updates, browser updates, and the code of the site. No errors are logged making it hard to figure.

In the meantime I know it's frustrating but when you click "submit" for a post or reply, wait for the error popup, then click OK and refresh the page and your post will appear. If you click "submit" more than once because of the delay, that is where the duplicate posts come from.

Damon,

I downloaded and installed 2 other browsers, eq Firefox and Chroome.
Now I'm using Firefox and it seems everything works fine.

I even can upload a picture.

Interresting? Not?

Safari still has the same problems.

Next is chrome...

Regards, André

Damon,

Now I'm using Chrome, no problems here.

Also, the picture upload works.

So, the problem is clearly browser related.

In both browsers it still takes some time to submit
a post. Though Chrome seems faster.

Gonna use Firefox solely for the beachcats.com

Hope this helps.

Regards André

And here is the error-code I get when I try to post using
safari. After this message, safari stalls.

Thanks for doing the checks. I usually use Chrome and often get the popup error like your screenshot from Safari.

So it's not limited to Safari but don't know what is causing the problem.

I've been working toward a whole new more modern version of everything on TheBeachcats.com but it's a huge thing. Moving the forums in particular is difficult if I want to keep all the valuable discussions from the past years.

Lots of duplicate/multiple posts lately leading to multiple, incohesive threads. I'm sure Doctor Damon will come up with the appropriate cure, but here's my experience (using Microsoft Edge).....

After hitting the 'submit' button, things look like they're hung up with a message saying 'storing reply' or such. This leads one to think that the post didn't go through (and a lot of reposts). In actuality the post has gone through and all is well. I usually just duplicate the page in a new tab. Have also fiddled around in the Test Post Forum and seen that getting off/back on the particular page or refreshing it works as well.

Damon, I have seen timeout errors with safari and iOS devices, even when the post gets through. But not right now.

While that gets sorted out, I wanted to ask if you are able to add buttons for YouTube links or other video content sites. Something that would allow the link to be displayed w the video key frame and clickable link.

This is usually a standard feature of forum software, although even Hobie had to tweak it from time to time.

Cheers!
