It seems that today is my day. After solving a problem with the 2.4 upgrate another one pops up. :(
So this time right when I thought everything was working great, I tried to post something on my forum and I get the message “Your entry could not be posted at this time.”. Why is that? Or should I ask… What time can I post it? :-D

Any help would be appreciated!

Some additional info…
The post is actually stored on the db. I can’t see it on the site or on the admin panel but if I add the post ID manually to the admin edit url I can edit it… or delete it.

UPDATE: I just found out that I get the above message only when I preview my post first and then post it. If I post a new thread without previewing it, then it gets posted just fine. Any help please?

It sounds like it might be a Deny Duplicate Data problem.  However, I just tested this on our dev site with commenting (forum posts are essentially comments with cool formatting) and it one can preview and then post just fine.  Do you have a URL you can give?  Might try to turn off Deny Duplicate Data in General Preferences as well and see if that helps.

The “Deny Duplicate Data” seems to be the problem. I turned it off and preview now works. But is that the way it should work? I mean, what if I want to leave the “Deny Duplicate Data” on, shouldn’t I be able to preview the forum posts too?

Yes, you should, and I am not sure why it is causing problems, since it seems to be working fine for me.  I just checked the code and it is definitely checking to make sure the comments it is comparing the new comment to are open and not a preview.

Are you sure you did not already submit a comment with this exact same content?

Yes I’m sure, but the problem is located upon creating a new thread not posting a comment. Now that you mention it I might check the comments too to see if the same problem appears there.

Ah, ok, the thread is a weblog entry, and there is a problem there.  Ping!

So I’m guessing that we’re going to see another release in the Bug Fixes forum soon? :-D

Yes, I suppose so…

Well since you’re at it… here’s another bug!
After the upgrate to v2.4 I haven’t change any of the preferences on my forum weblogs. However when someone posts a new thread and the thread stays in the forum for 24 hours without any replies it gets resorted to the end of the forum! As a result to this all my forums have been re-arranged and at their last pages I have all the posts with 0 replies no matter when the got posted.

Now what I’m curious on this is: when you fix it, will the sort get back to normal?

I need a bit more information.  Are any of these posts submitted via the CP? 

Nope. The specific thread was posted by a simple user (Active Member - Level 1) through the forum’s newentry.php file.

OK, then I cannot duplicate this problem via the newentry.php form, only via the CP (and I know why it happens via the CP).

Oh wait!  Did you use the Recount (Member or Weblog) abilities in the CP?  Now, that might cause it.

Is there any possibility that fixing it for the CP will get fixed for the newentry.php too?
Also what about my previous question… when you fix it, will the sort get back to normal?
If so I can test it right away without waiting 24 hours. In any case if you have a fix available please let me know so I can test it.

Yea… I used them both! You sound worried… should I worry too? :O

Yes.
Yes, I think so.
Yes, send me an email.

What?  Me worry?
