Auto-save causing popups and error messages

Whenever I begin writing a new discussion, the system tries to auto-save and I get this error message and then I can't go back to writing the rest of the discussion. What can I do?

    Do you have pretty URLs enabled?

    I didn't turn it on but I do think it's enabled

  • Options

    When I check the plugins, I don't see any Pretty URLs (active or inactive) but here's an example of a post's URL: http://goozleology.net/index.php?p=/discussion/3/general-information-check-here-first#latest

    Doesn't look pretty to me.

    And now I can't seem to even post new discussions. I get the same weird popup as above.

    And here are the plugins I have enabled:

    Please look at the Tutorial "about error 404" ... you have a problem that can easily be solved if you read the Tutorial section...

    I would disable duplicate plugins. Why have advanced editor enabled and also button bar ?

  • Options

    I looked at the tutorial and there was nothing wrong with the htaccess file.

    Also, I added the line of code that was suggested to the config file.

    Finally, I disabled the Button Bar (I was aware that they did the same thing), Tagging, In This Discussion, and Stop Auto Draft plugins.

    Still having the same problem.

    Please post the contents of the htaccess file, maybe you missed something ?

    Try deleting the .ini files from the forum cache folder. Try disabling all the plugins and turn them on one by one to test and see if any of them are the problem.

    I also deleted all of the ini files and disabled all plugins. Same problem.

    Just as I expected, you did miss something crucial , I don't think you read the 404 tutorial carefully. When something has a # in front of it in the htaccess file, it disables that. Please correct the file to represent your forum. If it is in / the root then just use a slash, if it is /forum add that.

    With the 404 that occurs when I try to Preview or Publish a discussion. I can't give you a link because I can't even publish it. It's the same problem that I created the image about at the very beginning.

    And all plugins are still disabled.

    That problem with the double text boxes ? or with the pop up ? You have multiple problems it seems. You could make a test account for us and pm the password

    Clear your browser cache, what browser do you use ?

  • Options

    This is so weird. I cleared my cache (Chrome) and I was able to preview one discussion just one time. Then I edited the discussion some more and I, again, cannot save, preview or publish anything. It makes no sense.
