BBS unreliable
« on: July 16, 2019, 07:43:12 AM »
The new BBS server seems to be playing up. It is often unresponsive when I click on a post and then if I try again it responds straight away.

I have tried twice to create a post some with some attached skin screenshots but get the following message:-

This page isn’t working
bbsn.hitechcreations.com didn’t send any data.

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

If I back arrow and try again it tells me I have already posted, yet the post is not showing in the forum.

Same here. It's behaving irrationally for me in firefox ver 68.0, but seems to behave okay in windows explorer.

Quite often I cannot even reach the BBS.

I may have found the issue, let me know it it persists.

Still not working flawlessly for me. Took several attempts to log in, and several to get to this posting window.

It isn't fixed, the BBS's responsiveness is still hit and miss and I still get the same error message when I try to post with attached screenshots. Could it be the BBS program isn't talking to the file server where attached images are sent and stored?

Until I manually added cookies for bbsn as well as bbs, I had issues. No issues now.

Yesterday, I was seeing the bbs. address but today, it's back to the bbsn. address.

Haven't had a problem accessing the BBS for about an hour.  Let's see if this will post normally.

Edit:  Yes, it did post just fine.  :aok

Getting to the login screen took a stop and another attempt, and it asked for my login information again which was because yesterday there was no "n" which today is there.

This posting window opened immediately but the ring telling the page is still unfinished kept rolling for quite some time during which I could type normally.

The previous post stuck halfway in sending so after four minutes waiting I refreshed the page, getting the "Warning - while you were reading a new reply has been posted..." And the new reply in question was my post that didn't seem to go anywhere!

Repeated the procedure of clicking "Post", looking the progress beam stick halfways, clicking "Reload current page" in my browser gave the same warning and showed my stuck post as being the latest, yet showing the very same text as the new reply.

Tried the screenshots post again with a different browser (Mozilla Firefox) but get the same error message as in the OP and again a second attempt tells me I have already posted this. The BBS responsiveness is still very hit and miss. So I don't think this has anything to do with cookies as I have never used this browser to log in to the HTC BBS before.

I always see the bbsn prefix in the address bar even when I launch using an old desktop shortcut with the bbs prefix.

Same thing for me.  Randomly seems to hang trying to retrieve a page. If I stop it and refresh, it loads instantly.
