Forum updated - I could use your help

phil

I have the option “After posting a reply, show newest post” checked in my settings, yes.

And for this very reply now the text of my last reply from five days ago was pre-filled again in the reply box.
I was logged out for several days now.

I guess we need some systematic testing to narrow this down. But sdetweil tried already all cases I could imagine:

log off and on again -> no change for me
clear cache and cookies -> haven’t tried yet
restart system -> no change for me
use different browser -> no change for me
use different OS -> no change for me
use different hardware -> no change for me
use different account -> haven’t tried yet

I think, everything but a new account was already tested by Sam without success. Any more suggestions?

Form Android with Chrome I see the same.
For the first post, there was nothing pre-filled. But I had to manually refresh to see the post after submitting. And now I have the pre-filling again.

Funny enough, when I edit a previous post, this does not occur. The page is reloaded automatically and the edited post is shown right away.
It’s only when I want to create a reply.

I switched my settings now to the ones posted by MichMich. The display of posts was totally confused after switching off the pagination. I had to log out and on again. Now the latest posts are loaded as default and when I scroll up to the top older posts are loaded step by step until the opening post is reached.

And now my reply was shown immediately after I submitted it.

@phil u tried turning off pagination, , logout, login, same bahvior, new posts do not show up til manual refresh

the nodebb guys say

From your description I’d guess that some plugin is crashing the forum when parsing new posts.

The forum is definitely on 1.13.2 or master (app.js has changes that were only made in 2020), so what I’d guess is that either:

You were on 1.12 before the upgrade. There were a few breaking changes between 1.12 and 1.13 and a few plugins broke.
You were upgrading from earlier 1.13 versions and a plugin relied on something that changed (perhaps a dependency? I don’t think there were any breaking changes in 1.13.1 or 1.13.2).
So what you’d need to do is find in logs if something breaks and restarts the forum. You can find logs in ACP under advanced>logs or on your server by calling ./nodebb log in nodebb folder

looks like Mitch found a failing plugin, and at least MY problem is now gone

@sdetweil Which plugin, and is it fixed, or do we have to do something on our end? I’m not finding it.

sdetweil

@BKeyport u don’t have to do anything, posting should work now
