I'm not alone on this, right?

Every time I post a reply the page lags out and then tells me:
code:
The post actually does go through though. I've seen people with many duplicate posts around the forum lately and I assume they have the same issue.

P.S. this is awfully similar to the login issue I reported before (actions go through however page lags out/gives error)

been happening to me a lot recently, also happens when you want to edit a post.. the forum just lags a lot

For the past few posts which have happened over about a week or maybe a little longer, this happens to me. Probably going to happen on this post too.

Happening to me as well, I usually just go back to the page I posted and refresh a few times for the post to appear

I did a quick reply, it took me to the advanced page saying that I have to wait 30 seconds between posts, then I decided to change the message, and it posted 3 times lmao (this happens every time I post something)

Also happened on this post.

I'd suggest looking into gateways if it's none of the above. I've witnessed problems regarding it in the past and afaik nothing was done about it. When I run performance test in dev console it shows fairly similar pattern.

This is still an issue btw, quite an annoying one..

That's something that apparently only affects regular users and not staff members.
Yes, we've been looking into it (actually for a while now), but we still don't have any clue why this happens or what causes it.

This has been extremely prevalent recently, happens on almost every post I make.

I've done a bit of digging around and apparently this issue is as old as vBulletin itself, however there are many factors that can cause an issue like this.

When you look at it like that, it is probably possible to look at individual processes on server side and pinpoint the source of this issue.

Most other forums that had this issue pinpointed it as a sendmail problem, so that could be main area to inspect if it hasn't been looked at yet.

One more thing I would like to add that is probably important: As you know first the page defaults to duplicate posts error. If you then quickly go back to the thread, your post actually won't be there no matter how many times you refresh, however, if you wait around 15 more seconds only then will the post show up. This means that the post is being delayed on server side even after the initial delay on client side.

Furthermore, when you post consecutively (like i did now) the delay is different. Instead of defaulting you to another page, it simply makes around 15 sec delay and then updates the post as normal.

Just trying to give as much information as possible. I would encourage other users to give all the info you notice as well as devs can't troubleshoot this themselves.

Oddly enough I narrowed it down a bit. I was sick of having to wait 30 sec every time when posting so I tried everything I could, and turns out disabling cookies actually gets rid of this issue...somewhat. After disabling cookies I was able to make one post without the usual bug, but then the post that followed (still cookies disabled) was bugging out again. Quite odd but that's that
