If a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "Queued for Processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?
If it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?
Servers seem a bit slow recently?
Thanks
Sorry about that - once it's queued it's normally safe and will be processed so yes, re-submitting it will just result in duplicates and may actually cause posting limits to be hit which then delays things further (same for posts). The system "rewards the patient", LOL
Sometimes though things do get stuck, the queue stalls or some other housekeeping task get's launched by a careless admin who forgets to run in on the lower priority queue (the same admin who really should swap the default queue so that doesn't happen).
The servers can get a bit slow if there are attacks happening on the site. I will look at the scaling settings to see if the impact can be reduced and am working on a new version that will be significantly faster which I hope will help. There's also some options for having instances run in the European data centers which will make things quicker by being closer.
I'll also look at the posting limits for established & trusted posters.
I've had this problem. The trouble is sometimes it later appears and sometimes it doesn't.
So the result is that sometimes my posts appear twice if I repeat the post and sometimes (shock horror for all my fans out there) my post doesn't appear at all and is lost forever!
Simon--can you stick another shilling in the meter ?
Ah, that takes me back to my grandma and grandads house when we were kids.

Wait, you're saying I shouldn't mess with people's heads by flicking the "delay them and randomly delete shit" switch?

Damn I won't sleep now wondering what I have missed!
Simon deletes my very best posts. I think this will explain a lot of stuff for a lot of people!
Nevertheless it's a tribute to my brilliance that it shines through in surviving posts. I don't want to sound immodest here just being a realist.
(Wonder if this post will make it)
