I have been locked out by the Bug for the past couple of times I tried to post. Very annoying.

dilettante Supporting Member of TMP10 Jun 2016 7:20 p.m. PST

Not me,but I don't post much compared to others.

Cyrus the Great10 Jun 2016 7:52 p.m. PST

It tries all the time, but I just ignore it. I submit and then get the bug. I just ignore it and go to the home page. I go back to the thread and it has posted, but I don't get the post count which, to me, is irrelevant.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut10 Jun 2016 7:54 p.m. PST

A lot.

The Beast Rampant10 Jun 2016 8:17 p.m. PST

Ditto.

Rich Bliss10 Jun 2016 8:36 p.m. PST

No, never

nevinsrip10 Jun 2016 8:37 p.m. PST

All the time.

wrgmr110 Jun 2016 9:20 p.m. PST

Lots of times I get the lockout error, however it still posts??

Pictors Studio10 Jun 2016 9:37 p.m. PST

Probably almost half the time I try to post.

Cyrus the Great10 Jun 2016 9:55 p.m. PST

It does for me.

Winston Smith10 Jun 2016 11:01 p.m. PST

Maybe 10% of the time.

steamingdave4710 Jun 2016 11:34 p.m. PST

Like Cyrus and wrgmr, I that I get the lockout page, but the post has still gone in.

GarrisonMiniatures11 Jun 2016 1:39 a.m. PST

Yes. Again, the post often still goes through.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP11 Jun 2016 2:25 a.m. PST

More times then I can count

RavenscraftCybernetics11 Jun 2016 3:09 a.m. PST

never, if you're locked out, how did you post this comment?

Martin Rapier11 Jun 2016 5:03 a.m. PST

Just press 'submit' again and more often the posts magically appear, even if they are often duplicates.

It takes quite a lot to be 'locked out' of a website, particularly as these are stateless transactions.

Oh Bugger11 Jun 2016 5:31 a.m. PST

If you're posting at length its worth copying before you press submit in case the time lock eats it. Sometimes it does sometimes it posts anyhow.

skipper John11 Jun 2016 5:48 a.m. PST

Yes, once not too long ago. I don't post often and this particular post was longer than my usual and quite to the point. GONE! Never to be seen again I'm afraid. Sad.

Florida Tory11 Jun 2016 5:58 a.m. PST

Yes

Dynaman878911 Jun 2016 6:03 a.m. PST

One day I tried a LOT of times to post something and it never worked. I switched browsers just to post it and that worked.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP11 Jun 2016 7:01 a.m. PST

Yes … it's a problem on TMP and it isn't getting any better …

B6GOBOS11 Jun 2016 8:16 a.m. PST

Far too often. I have not encountered this issue with other
wargame websites. I think TMP 4 is a myth.

Weasel11 Jun 2016 9:39 a.m. PST

Half the time, you can resubmit and it'll go through, the other half, it will adamantly refuse and you just have to wait and try again later.

Mute Bystander11 Jun 2016 10:03 a.m. PST

Very irritating common occurance.

Tango0111 Jun 2016 12:30 p.m. PST

Today… at this hour… is a pefect example…

"…I think TMP 4 is a myth."

Ha!Ha!Ha!…

I had trouble tonight – I got several time outs and the usual failure to lock message.
Eventually, it worked….

Rod I Robertson11 Jun 2016 4:15 p.m. PST

Yup!

Troop of Shewe Fezian12 Jun 2016 1:46 a.m. PST

Almost every time, pretty poor service really.

Personal logo Mister Tibbles Supporting Member of TMP12 Jun 2016 4:41 a.m. PST

I've lost count.

Brownbear12 Jun 2016 5:27 a.m. PST

almost every time
even with this reaction

normsmith26 Jun 2016 3:32 p.m. PST

Yes, but the problem is exacerbated when trying to cross post, so you end up with a second posting not being connected to the first. It disrupts the flow of conversations and must annoy poster and reader alike.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2016 9:38 a.m. PST

It's a government conspiracy I tell ya !!!!!!! tinfoilhat

Old Contemptibles27 Jun 2016 12:57 p.m. PST

Yes

14Bore12 Aug 2016 3:38 p.m. PST

A strange thing for me is I start a new topic, type my question post new thread and lockout shows up. So open a new box on my tablet and go see that my new topic is posted.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP12 Aug 2016 4:22 p.m. PST

Thrice in however many my profile says I've been here.

All three times it booted me out of crossposting a topic. All three times the Editor added the crossposts for me.

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP13 Aug 2016 7:57 p.m. PST

Are there any regular posters who have not been locked out is a better question.

Brownbear18 Aug 2016 1:37 a.m. PST

Everyone whos posts are somtime or the other locked out

Mardaddy18 Aug 2016 2:05 p.m. PST

It was only just this very week I have had the annoyance of lockouts. Four of them, the most recent last night.
