Timing Out

When I go to publish a new post, very often it takes a very long time to rebuild, and then the screen goes white rather than indicating it is sending out pings. Why is this, and can it be fixed?

1 Hrm. Let me try.

2 It seems to be working fine now, at least for me. It could have been a network issue or a spam flood.

3 The problem is that it happens a lot

4 That's not good. I'm not using Movable Type any more, so I haven't seen it.

Is anyone else seeing this? Any info on when it happened and what you were doing at the time would help me track it down.

5 Pixy, it's been happening probably 70% of the time over at Rocket Jones. Usually I just hit the back button and then jump back to the editing menu. The article posts, it seems to be the pings timing out or something.

6 Pings timing out are beyond my control - but it should come back with an error, not with a blank screen. Hmm.

I'll do some test posts and see what I can find.

7 Well, and it is actually timing out BEFORE it gets to the pings screen -- the rebuild takes forever, and then I get a blank screen with no error message of any kind.

And i am using MT.

And I deal with things the same way Ted does.

8 Thanks, that lets me know where to look.

Though the best solution will probably be to move to Minx, which doesn't do rebuilds.

I just have to finish testing the import module.

9 Ugh.

Okay, Movable Type is just taking forever to rebuild your blog. I tried tweaking some settings but that doesn't seem to have helped much. I also increased the timeout on the web server, so now you should at least get a page back rather than a blank screen.

I'm not sure why your blog is so much slower than Munuviana, though.
