TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
Help! All of a sudden, comments can’t be posted!
Pressing submit acts as if you’ve pressed submit again. I’ve not changed a thing, it was working 2 hours ago!

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
seems ok
I just posted a testing comment.
Maybe it is your cookies. Did you try it using another browser?

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
Thanks dude. So it might be just me that can’t post…
Tried both Chrome and Safari.

Maybe someone else can post something from here to confirm that it is your setup…
Just a thought… you did not ban yourself by mistake did you?

Done.

Or are using a software like Little Snitch to block your computer “phoning home”?
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
Thanks Uli. It posted fine.
Yes I am, although I’ve been able to post on my own site since it’s launch (and did so recently).

Did you upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
Nope, or even Lion. Snow Leopard is my choice of OS!

Can you disable little snitch for a while? I’m not using it so I don’t know.

Tried disabling LS – same issue :(

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
Update: it appears to be related to the name used.
“Ross Harvey” – fails with loop
Tried “Ross”, which worked for a while, now fails
Now using “Ross H”, and expecting it to fail soon.
Tested on multiple browsers too.
How on earth can I fix that!?

Any change you are trying to post a comment message you have posted previously? Textpattern blocks duplicate comments site-wide. Any comment that shares the same client IP, the author name and the message is considered as a duplicate and blocked without any visible feedback.

Re: TXP suddenly stuck on comment preview loop
There’s a chance they could be similar, as I’m usually thanking people for the comments.
I just tried using a previously problematic name, and worded a unique reply and it posted. Perhaps you have the answer. I’ll keep trying, making sure the replies are each different to see if it happens again.
Cheers!
