Having Upload issues! (Looking for Help/Feedback thank yo...
3 years ago
Hello everyone, I am having some trouble with doing uploads recently and it's making things very difficult for me to post. I've tried googling help/answer but come up with nothing so far. I am rather bad at navigating the help forum so I'd really love feedback or any aid or thoughts that can be provided. I don't know if it's just a me thing or if it's a site issue, so I am not sure which course of action to take.
Here is the Issue:
Whenever I go to upload before I can fully write my rather nice posts the site freezes. Freezes completely. I can't copy over my posts. I can't save the information I've put in. I have to completely shut down the tab. It's very frustrating and means I'm having to pre-write all my posts on a document and then very quickly paste them into the upload area, filling out the other categories of tags in a rush.
Does anyone Know why this is happening? Or how to fix it?

If you're using the newer UI, try switching to the classic one. If that fixes it, send a trouble ticket in with your browser info and such.
Maybe try it from a mobile device, or a desktop, the opposite of whatever you're currently using?
In reading your other reply, it may be the bouncing between program apps, as Discord is "always updating," and uses more memory/cashe. If you have several of those types of things running, that could be it. What you type here is held in cashe, I believe. If you're running low on resources, it could freeze, especially as it was switched to "thinking" and using it for Discord, and possibly couldn't come back to what you had here, or it was pushed out of the cashe, and when you returned, it wasn't actually "here" or available as imaged, and froze. (The ooooold FA update journals that got several hundred replies would cause similar issues, because they had to load all the icons and text, and caused lag and crashing for some older phones.)
It's possible you need more RAM, processing power, or something is hogging resources in the background you may be unaware of. (System stuff, updates, or programs idling.)
I'm only guessing. I'm no techie or programmer. Just an old end user who remembers Windows 3.1, DOS, and floppy disks. X3
