Now old-format Unions are Bonk!'d! Actually, does that go here or in the "Unions are glitched" topic?

Because the root to this problem isn't easily fixed or possible... I don't know which. Or if something else.

Yep, I surely know I do. Strange thing is, that if I jump back to the original thread page after I submitted my post, it'll show my post actually went through. Also, am I the only one that notices that post counts haven't seemed to move either?? I know I've been posting a helluva lot since around E3 time, but my post count has apparently been stuck at the same number for a looong minute.

Think this may also an additional symptom of the 'boinking'/blank pages issues? :(

My guess for that is if you look at those threads it desn't show you posted in them....at least that is how it is working for me. I am gonna try and check my post history but if I am right it should not show up there either until BONK goes away.

Edit: Well that's strange as it does appear in my post history but I don;t get the mark outside these threads that I posted in. I am confused.

Not necessarily so. For instance, that very post you quoted to was a one done and submitted WHILE still experiencing the boinking/blank page issue. So clearly YOU (and well as anybody else, myself included) can see the post. Matter fact, every single thing I've posted to--across various forums--are exactly in the threads that I posted them in. And others, just like you, have even been able to see/reply/quote to them.

EDIT: LOL, judging by your edited post (as I was typing my this one a few minutes ago to you) you get what I've stated above. :P

It still shows on the main board screen that I've posted in the thread I've just been white paged from. This is really weird. :P

It likes to mess with us. Affecting inbox, post count, post history, sometimes stopping the page from loading and what not. :P

I've been getting a lot of bonks lately when trying to post a message like this. When I do post something and it works it will post my message right away. If it doesn't work it will take a while, and then I get the bonk message.

This is getting progressively more noticeable, bothersome, and frequent. I haven't been able to make one post over the past 6 hours or so without bonk.

It seems to have been fixed. I haven't encountered any bonk related issues, PM box works fine, fuse is working, post counts/levels are updating.. etc :P I did have a problem with trying to look at some pics on a gamepage though, not sure if that is related. Edit: spoke to soon, I got a bonk when trying to look at some game pics.

I have NEVER in the 15 years of web surfing EVER seen a website this slow..One day it works, next day its BONK..next time I log in its 10min of waiting for the page to load..this site "sorry to complain" is horrible at maintaining smooth running servers or something..

Funny...I can close this out...then come right back and it might take 4min to load OR it might load right up...THEN clicking on posting history might take 5min to show OR could load right up...Its almost unusable most times to me..

I received this bonk thing for the first time a few days ago while posting in a thread. However, once I hit back, my post was recorded. Not really sure what to make of that tbh. I haven't had any issues with PM's tho. Seems to be completely random.

Hitting the back button or refresh will usually cause you to double post if BONK is around. I just submit a post, kill that tab immediately and open a new one as posts always go through.

Hitting backspace until you are in the thread again and then refresh... That way your own post won't show up as unread for yourself.

Too much of a chance for a double post that way. Not hard to open another tab :P
