Cannot post new thread in Chit Chat - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I'm getting an error every time I go to post a new thread in Chit Chat..

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /web/sites/emptyclo/emptyclosets.com/forum/includes/functions_search.php on line 242

Ok scrap that. Can't post in ANY forum. Thanks Ben for putting this here.

**Ben** · 25th Oct 2009, 06:39 AM

Is anyone else getting this or a similar problem?

25th Oct 2009, 06:47 AM

Nope. No PHP time outs here.

**Corny** · 26th Oct 2009, 02:47 AM

Is this still happening? This is a server-generated error and pretty weird, because everybody should get this if you are ..

That's indicative of some sort of looping error or server crash in PHP. The best option is to restart the server and see if the error is still there if it happens again.

Since this forum runs on vBulletin, it's best to take up the issue with them.

It's still happening. I've tried on two completely different computers on different internet connections lol. Well three if you count my phone.

Possible infinite loop, yes. Server crash .. not so much.

But still whatever causes this should be happening for everybody. The only thing I can think off is that you did something to your profile latey, but even then I can't think of anything that could be causing this.

George · 26th Oct 2009, 06:57 PM

Or it could be for people in my subnet? Or from my ISP?

I can't really think of anything that would start the loop.
my suggestion, in order to test if it is your location, is follow the directions at this link to download the program mentioned in the video. when using the program, it makes your IP address be from another location.
otherwise I have no ideas

im assuming this is a proxy program? i was under the impression they were illegal.

possibly someone on your I.P did something against vbulletin?

Proxies are legal in the likes of the UK. Right to privacy or that. BUT for people who use them to login to things through them they can be made to store this info be careful...

George · 30th Oct 2009, 04:52 AM

Tried proxies from the UK and US. Didn't work.

fallendream · 30th Oct 2009, 09:43 AM

have you tried clearing browser history? also try using ECs IP

George · 2nd Nov 2009, 01:37 AM

Hmm. Seems to be working again.. Odd.
