Hangs when posting

[Temery]

I have several users who are complaining their browser hangs when they hit the post button.

Any thoughts?

what plugins are you running
what kind of hosting?
what style are you using?

there are many reasons why this could happen

Multiple account detection and Tapatalk. Hosting is not an issue - I run another site with the same set-up, with no problems.

We've reached the 500k post point. Can that be an issue?

I wouldn't think post count would have anything to do with it.
What about styles, does it hand on the default style?

You should check if there are any entries in the server error log.

There are already several threads about this issue. Search "Internet Explorer", "Relative URLs" or "CSS/Javascript loading problems" in this forum.

That can be the result of a failed or slow SMTP connection (when sending notification emails on reply). Try adding this line to your library/config.php file to disable mail functions:

$config['enableMail'] = 0;

Does that fix the problem? If so then we know it's a mail problem.

A failed SMTP connection will normally show in the log:

Admin CP -> Tools -> Server Error Log

If the log contains mail errors then you need to check your SMTP info:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Email Options

Good idea. Ive eliminated the style used by restoring the original, which was run with no trouble. Actually, this is a new phenomena, and the style I've been using didn't cause any trouble for months.

Here is the server log, but I am not sure there much info here. The people having trouble far exceed the error log entries:
