laggy, double post in one section only

[Brandon Sheley]

I've been trying to figure out a problem I'm having on one of my forums and it seems to only happen in one section which is really weird.
http://general-forums.com/forums/general-discussions.20/
I've already removed the nicer style we're using and changed the color on the default one.
I've also removed damn near all the mods I did have, these are what we're currently running

LeafNet Blog 1.0.0 Beta 3
Simple Sitemap 1.02
Stop Forum Spam v1.0.1
Tapatalk 1.1.1
XF Arcade 0.0.2
[8wayRun.Com] XenMedio (Media) 1.3.7
[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal) 1.5.0
[bd] Tag Me 1.0

I've ran the file check and everything comes back clear, I also recently upgraded and we're still getting reports.
I've checked the forum premissions and everything should be good.

What happens, and it may only be doing the quick reply..
is when a post is made, we see the loading bar at the top right and the site just hangs.
Sometimes if a user hits refresh or submit again, thinking it didn't go through, it double post.


So if anyone has any ideas, I'm game?

Thanks

Just to confirm... this is a failed SMTP connection. That explains the lag when posting.

Thanks,
Wouldn't it be better if it was a "soft fail" so it wouldn't actually break the forum just because the email settings are off?
