I’ve just installed the bbPress 2.0-beta-2b in WordPress 3.1.3. Regardless of the browser (FF Mac, FF Win7, IE 6-9) I get the Slow down error, and cannot post.

Here’s a url to the error screen. It offers no clues so I’m hoping you can. I’m happy to provide any info that can help solve this.

Normally that happens when you try to make a post followed by another post or reply to quickly. I don’t know what the time limit is, but it can be adjusted.

If it is happening all the time, even after waiting a few minutes between posts, then there could be an issue for JJ to look into. To date, I have not run into the slow down screen unless I post very very fast.

Are you able to make a new forum topic if you wait a few minutes?

If not.. I’m sure JJ will look into it

I’m mobile at the moment, but it’s worth looking at the settings to see what the timeout is set at. Strangely, in your screen shot you’re logged in as an admin so you should be skipping the throttle check. I’ll look into it.

Here are the settings. It doesn’t matter if I’m logged in as admin or a vanilla user, same problem. And the other problem I have is I can’t post to this forum from FF in my Mac. I’m in a Win7 VM now using IE 9.

Settings are currently restrictive while I sort this out.

I’ve made some progress, functionally. I set the throttle to 0 and was able to create a post and a reply to the post. On the reply I logged in as a different non-admin user which worked fine. But then I noted something – on viewing the topics window it claims I modified the topic 7 hours ago. It was less than 1 minute ago, in actuality. So something seems wonky in the time keeping and I’ll try to sort that out. There may be a php.ini setting required. I’ll drop a date function in the loop and see what it says. Think too I’ll open a MySql session and see what the time/date is for these posts.

Edit: I just realized the time error is a timezone error. I’m UTC-7 but running PHP 4.3.? which doesn’t have some of the 5.x time functionality.

A consequence of this timing problem is that I cannot edit the message as that timeout “expired” too. My logical side makes me think of there is a system error it would be at both ends of the transaction, though.

Regarding this forum, is there a setting required on my end to post here from FireFox (Mac)?

I think I know what it is. Fix pending, and will probably require a Beta 3.

Will update in a few hours with a definite answer.
