Buggy Submissions

#site-feedback
#1
Hi, so I just made 3x post because I went to submit my movies I saw on castle in the sky and aristocats and when I pressed submit message it did nothing, it looked like it anyways, I didn't see an error, at all, so I clicked it to make sure I didn't mis-click and then one more time, reloaded it and there were 3.

THEN it suddenly said this, and I'm like- but you just submitted my post??

Also I'm not even seeing that my image is attached? So I'm hoping it is, I dm'd you the error I got, but will see if it attaches here.

thanks for brining this up. I've been posting without any issues, so this is puzzling.  I'm seeing an image in the gallery  of an error, so the upload worked, but it hasn't been inserted into your post. This points to a javascript issue.  Do you know how to view your browser console?
if not, can you tell me what machine you are using and the name of your browser and any addons that might block page scripts.

edit: I feel this may just be lag. it seems there is a delay between clicking the button and the server response. I'll need to troubleshoot.

are you able to check on this? I can't do anything about it without data. I can only really poke about at possible optimisations, but without any info I'm stabbing in the dark.

if you are able to look in tools>browser tools>browser console in firefox or whatever the equivalent is in your browser if it's not firefox. then try posting and tell me what it says.

I've adjusted some scripts to simplify. still working on changing some behaviours. hopefully the first change to the topic card should help. so now when looking at all topics in a forum, the behaviour is different. hovering the mouse over no longer changes the preview. instead, the latest post will appear in the tooltip. This is a bit crude, but it is stable for now. I can consider having a more elegant preview window in future.
.
next step is changing reply functionality. I want to make it more robust so server responses can be more concrete.

Okay perfect, thank you.

reply functionality is now much more robust.  you may need to force reload the whole page if you get sent to the bottom of the page when clicking reply.  
Hopefully the new stability should fix the image upload issues. let me know if that issue persists. Thanks :)
