A tips for users who think it takes long time to edit posts

[Meti]

Hi there,

I think I've found a way to edit posts faster. So it doesn't take all the time it does right now.

When I edit posts, I press "Save", and then I press on the forum skin's background.

This way makes it faster to edit and save the post.

I don't know if it works for everyone, but this works for me many times.
I have the Site Skin, if that's a question.


Hope I helped,

Meti

I don't know how that will work, I'm putting it to the test.

EDIT: It's slightly faster lol :P Thanks

[Invent]

Really? That's quite odd!

[Shawnstra]

Thanks for the tip.

EDIT// It really works! Still much slower than some other sites, but it helps. Maybe the techies could look into it? :D

[brandon]

I didn't notice any different :(

[scottish]

I'll checkz!!

EDITZ: Checking

Didn't notice any difference :S

[Meti]

It works for some special forum members :P
Nah, but it's crazy how it works for a few persons, and doesn't work for others.

Click save -> Wait 5 secs -> Click cancel.

It will have saved changes, don't believe me, refresh the page and you will see the changes. This is due to be fixed soon.

I'm guessing that's a vBulletin issue? Because technically re-uploading the files associated with replies should solve this issue, which I'm guessing you might of done.

It's not really something a techie could fix, unless they work for vBulletin. The other option is a setting somewhere has caused some problems, be it with the server or an AdminCP setting.

A tip before doing what Jin said:
- Copy the text you've written, and then if it has saved, do whatever you want with the code. If it haven't saved, you can simply Paste it in again ;)

[Black_Apalachi]

Nice tip!

I don't get why it's slow slow in the first place though.

[jackass]

I'll test it now...

Still as slow for me...

[Yonder]

I personally find it quicker to, edit post, click advance edit, edit then save. Loads near enough instantly for me that way.

[Meti]

Try using Jin's suggestion then ;)

[--ss--]

don't get it :(

doesn't work :(

[Nereo]

Hmmm lemme see

Edit: Doesnt work?

If you do it my way you wont see the changes till you refresh.

No its not a vBulletin thing, its a mysql configuration issue with its indexing (or more so the indexing update) the server and forum just needs a little bit of optimizing and then we should be able to reduce this lag. Working hard on this at the moment, but need to (rather riskily) repartition some of the drives to give us a 10gb overhead so we can perform database functions without immensely crashing the database and corrupting the tables.

I honestly wish it were something as simple as your suggestion, that way I wouldnt have to stay up late at night so I can work during off peak times.

[Recursion]

Tests..

Umm...

Nope, doesn't work... I don't personally see how it would tbh

Repartition isn't THAT risky, I do it all the time, haven't lost any data.

[Slowpoke]

I just click onto a new thread or click the banner to navigate away from the page.

[Decode]

It does it slow for me so I will test now.

EDIT: test

Didn't work :(

[H0BJ0B]

I click save, wait for the black dots to stop spinning (which means it's saved), then press back or whatever. xD
