tomdarkness Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 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).

Administrators kissaki Posted June 24, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2010 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.

Administrators hacst Posted June 25, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdarkness Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 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 >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hacst Posted August 26, 2010 Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2010 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdarkness Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesepi Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znote Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Have no problems logging in, surfing and enjoying the forum using Google Chrome. Ofc its a bit slow thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
