It might be just network issues - I think.
Quick edit still hanging up on vBulletin

I just upgraded my board to 3.6.8 today. Now the Quick Edit button does not work at all. We have never had a problem with it until now.Comment

Dilly, read the thread over, many have reported this problem in the very thread.
It has been going on for at least a year now !!!
The problem you face is that most people never take the time to report a problem, even when it exists, this is an ongoing one that has been happening for at least a year on vB forums worldwide.Comment

OK Dilly, so why are you posting man ??
Scott, I have no idea how you can see this other than using IE and using the quick reply editing function, no one on this end can duplicate the issue for you, I'm telling you it happens on many forums for at least a year now.
Scott, I have never had the problem in advanced mode ever, only when using quick edit, so there must be a difference in the process within the vB script itself, quick edit versus the "Advanced Posting Interface", you need to find out those differences.Last edited by AVC; Mon 13 Aug '07, 6:15am.Comment

Blaming it on IE7 and those users is a cop out, Nintendo says it never happens in Firefox, so I guess it is incumbent on vB developers to test this module themselves with both browsers.
Dilly, you will never know if posts are lost due to this, most users as I mention will not complain, they will just quit your forums thinking they are not worth the effort due to technical problems and that is YOUR PROBLEM !!!Comment

quick edit has hung on me all the time. I thought it was me, but after reading this thread, I think there is something wrong with it.
I have to click go advance, save, and it will be OK.
What can be causing this?
I have tested on FF, IE6, and safari (PC), it all hangs for me.,Comment

The only solution at this point is to disable the quick editing module, then you nor your users have this problem to face, that is what I have done on all of my vB forums, but I still have to suffer the hassle on other forums that have not disabled it, including this one, that is the reason I started this thread.

Do you get any JavaScript error messages?
Does it happen with all posts or just big posts?
Does your connection seem slow when its happening or are you being disconnected?
Is there anything else you notice when it happens?
QuickEdit makes a request in the background and then super-imposes it on top of the current page. Thats the main difference, if its not making that background request then it may look like nothing it happening. But thats something thats computer or ISP related.Comment

Scott, all it does is show the timer spinning and spinning and spinning, the post is never made until you click on "go advanced", then you submit it from there and it posts.
This does not happen every time, for example I quick edited a few posts here today and it worked, maybe it has something to do with the available memory on one's machine (RAM), you would have a much better idea if this is a possibility than I would.
I know it has been a problem since it was introduced, frankly I never liked it from day one, I like it even less since it does not work all the time and has bugs, again, maybe it is a registry cleaning issue or one needs to clear his cookies.
PS: I have never seen an error message, it does not happen every time, I have never been disconnected, users can't control their DSL speed, it changes all the time, many times ATT has network problems that slow things down during peak hours.Last edited by AVC; Tue 14 Aug '07, 6:10pm.Comment

Just clicking until it happens isn't really a good explanation. I tried that and it didn't work. You don't need to dupliate it for me but explaining any conditions you think of would help.

None at all. The loading image goes on and on (the one in the quick edit/reply box) but nothing happens.
Does it happen with all posts or just big posts?
All posts (2 lines etc).

Maybe it could be the fact the network slows down for a few seconds, not sure. Usually copying and pasting what you have written then refreshing and posting it again fixes the problem though.
Is there anything else you notice when it happens?
Sometimes it actually posts the message but at other times it doesn't.
This happens on this forum as well (for me anyway) but like I said it doesn't happen often which is probably why it was never brought up for ages.Comment
