Forum

Hey,

I prefer the phpBB forum over the old SF forum but it has quite a number of issues. Firstly, it's really, really slow and forces all connections to go over HTTPS for some reason. Also sometimes it won't even let me login - it just hangs on loading the page when returning to the forum from SF's login form. When replying/posting a thread sometimes you click submit and you just get a blank page and the thread/post was never made and if you click back all the stuff you typed out for the thread/post is gone. Hope these problems can be resolved as I find phpBB a great product and use it on many of my sites myself (Without these issues I may add).

This phpbb instance is a SMF hosted app.

These issues are (probably) for all sourceforge-phpbb-apps hosted by SMF.

SMF is known for sometimes being really slow (at least for hosted apps), the mediawiki mumble uses for example.

Unfortunately, since this is a sourceforge hosted app, we have no influence on its performance and or working. Please file a ticket with the sf support and maybe, if enough ppl. complain, they'll finally do sth. about it.

Just bumping this again as I've had to spend ages trying loads of different browsers in an attempt to actually reply to a thread as it kept complaining about a redirect loop >.>

Yeah. It sucks. I contacted the sf support and they are unable to reproduce the issue...

Any hints on how this can be reproduced reliably? I also experience this sometimes and don't have the slightest clue as to why...

The only thing I noticed was that the phpBB forum reported me as not logged in while the SF banner at the top showed that I was logged in. Although I only noticed after a while so it may have been the cause of the problem or may have just developed after the problem began.

it seems entirely random. I go through the same strokes on here when I see a post I wish to reply to. Click reply, put in my credentials and then hit submit.

Sometimes it just won't let me log in.

Have no problems logging in, surfing and enjoying the forum using Google Chrome. Ofc its a bit slow thought.
