I can't say I have noticed much of a difference. If anything editing takes longer.

Me too, although the reason for that is obvious.

I haven't noticed anything unusual in the system recently. The whole thing has been kinda funky, but I can't say it's limited to posting posts (as opposed to any other site function).

Suffering from ads?

Probably because posting inserts new data into a bunch of different database table. Editing just updates values within a smaller number of those table.

Yep, Poly has been on the fritz for the last two weeks or so for me. When it comes to posting, it's hit and miss at best. Every other site comes up fine ... guess Settler can't handle the load very good anymore.

Actually Editing should take longer than posting. When you Edit, the forum hs to find the original entry in the database and update it, whereas, with posting it's just adding to the database.



EDIT: Editting my post took longer than posting it did. So, I don't know what Bod's problem is.

Increase the size of your Attachments

It takes even longer to edit a thread title, since you have to get a mod to do it for you.
