Post refusal and "bots"
Couldnt think of a better title... but yesterday whenever i tried to post in the "Game Day" thread, it wouldnt let me. It would come up with a message saying something like "additional posts have been made - you may want to revise your post". Well i didnt want to revise it, but it wouldnt let me post it. Happened about 3-4 times for different posts so i gave up.
And on another topic, whats the deal with "Google [bot]" "Yahoo [bot]" and "MSN [bot]" being users currently online???

All you need do is hit the "Submit" icon again when you see that message.Raider Crusader wrote:Couldnt think of a better title... but yesterday whenever i tried to post in the "Game Day" thread, it wouldnt let me.

The bots on line simply let us know which search engines bots are currently examining the site for new content.

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
I didt hit "submit" again and again, but it still wouldnt post it...
Re: Post refusal and "bots"
Shouldn't be doing that and I haven't had that problem. If it does, I suggest you use the copy function to ensure you have saved the text of your post, and then reload the main board and post it again in the thread of your choice.

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
This happens if you are replying to a thread, and someone else has replied to the thread in the mean time. The system asks that question in those circumstances. All you need to do is hit Submit again, if you don't wish to review the post.Raider Crusader wrote:Its been happening again today, but luckily it it posted after i hit submit again.

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
id imagine youd be getting that message because there was a lot of activity in that thread during the time of your posting.

Each time you tried to resubmit, there was a new post
i can look into the admin settings and see if it can be turned off but before that happened, the majority would have to want it
for mine its a good little add on

Re: Post refusal and "bots"

No matter how much you whinge about it, best to deal with it and move on

Re: Post refusal and "bots"

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
Its to stop what essentially happens a lot in that particular thread
if a post is made before you submit yours, it asks you to revise. Essentially in this instance its to stop 30 blokes posting at the same time "Raiders TRY!!!!" or something similar

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
That's ridiculous... we never had the function before, so why "can't" it be removed?
And i'll whinge all i want... there's no point even trying to post on this site anymore if i have to sit here for 15 minutes hitting 'submit' 'submit' 'submit'!
And we still get about 30 posts saying "Raiders try" anyway, so the function is useless. Unless it get changed, I dont think ill be posting much, it's a waste of time. Most people would probably like to hear less of me anyway.

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
RC. I suspect that we could do it... but it would cost us a lot of money to have the custom modification done. It costs enough to run the forum now. If you would like to finance this modification, please let us know... we'll get you a quote and I suspect it'll cost hundreds of dollars when done by our host company (even if there were a ready made phpbb solution).
This newest version of phpbb has a LOT of other advantages. We have installed it in full, as that is the cheapest thing to do.
We are actually keen to cover the basic costs of the forum... which we aren't even doing yet... let alone doing custom modifications/changes of this sort.
The vast bulk of people are happy to live with it.

At least that's a detailed explanation of why it can't be removed. Still annoying as anything though!greeneyed wrote:RC.

Re: Post refusal and "bots"
Baidu is a Chinese search engine like Google. They send their bots through like Google and other search engines.
