Don

type into notepad (or equivalent)
then copy/paste into browser

doesn't solve the lock file
but no more retyping

If I have typed anything of length, I always select and copy it before submitting.

It makes the whole affair only a mild annoyance.

or reload page

About half the time, reloading woks. The other half, it just erases your would-be post.

Better safe than sorry.

If you've typed and hit "submit" and get the "lock file" just return to the main page. If you then click on the thread, you'll see it posted. You only lose the "hits" count.

@Don kyoteblue,
As a slow typist, I feel your pain. I don't know why we should have two totally different results.

I always select the entire script, and copy (Control and C)then I post and if there's a problem I reload the page and if its disappeared I'll paste (Control and V)and try it again…it's not perfect but it works

I find a reload usually works, I just back out from the duplicate post it generates.

Getting this more than 50% of the time now, even when trying to just click on topics to read them, and now, had to give up posting an inquiry, since it just sat there, cycling, and/or did the whole MVLOCKFILE error thing repeatedly.

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
