Title: member can't post to the forum
Post by: Dread Pirate Roberts on November 11, 2011, 07:54 pm
Hey gang, one of our members is having trouble posting to the forum.  here is their message to me.  remember, she probably can't post a reply, but she can see your responses:

"Hello SR Support, After accessing the forums on my mobile phone, and different computers, laptops in my home, (my mobile phone is not wifi'd with my home network), I still cannot create any posts on the forums but I can view the forum no problems. Each attempted post or preview of my post gives me a "failed creating formpost" error page, when refreshed, it then says 503 not found. I have disabled router security, firewall security, peerguardian and anything of that nature. I am completely stumped and I'm sure you might be to as you said no one had my problem. Like I said I was able to post before the not so recent SR outage but since then I've had this dilemma. If possible you can create a thread in the technical support forum asking if anyone understands this issue? My tor client does not log any errors and I feel this may have to do with the writing of the website itself."

thanks for your help!

I've used several different formats and OS's, and have had no problem posting here, that is: Tor within windows 7, Tor in Debian, and Tor in several different live linux distros, Tails, liberte, and privatix...all post to forums without problems.  Both before, and after, recent shutdown...

Looks like a bug with php's cURL implementation, from the quick search I did. Your username doesn't happen to start with an @ sign, does it? If so, I'd change it. If not, not sure.

Make a new account? Run Ubuntu off of a CD and see if that works?

Just keep trying new things. It took me hours to finally get tor working (time on your computer HAS to be the correct time)

Looks like after the SR outage in the last 24 hours I'm able to post now that it's back up again :D they must have fixed something
