Send post

Yes, but unfortunately it still takes a long time to load

But you still have five pages of bots connected. Click ‘WHO IS ONLINE’ at the bottom of the page then click the ‘Display guests’ link to see all the connections.

Can I have a screenshot please?

After clicking WHO IS ONLINE at the the bottom left hand side of a page click the ‘Display guests’ link indicated in the image.

I already clicked view guests. And what now? So that the post ''Send'' is sent immediately to the forum.

It's hard to diagnose based on this limited, cryptic description. But my best guess is the email notifications, which are sent when a post is submitted, are taking a long time due to a slow SMTP or mail server. You could disable all outgoing email to test my theory. It's under the ACP:

Enable board-wide emails:
If this is set to disabled no emails will be sent by the board at all. Note the user and admin account activation settings require this setting to be enabled. If currently using “user” or “admin” activation in the activation settings, disabling this setting will disable registration.

And what now?

Now you need to take some action if you want to get rid of them.

Again read this then decide how you want to stop them with .htaccess, robots.txt or Cloudflare. There are examples for robots.txt and .htaccess - Block Bad Bots worked for me. You may have to tweak it for your particular situation. Check with your host about Cloudflare if you even have it.

Ok, and then on the forum there will be a "Send" post, will the post be sent immediately?

Not sure what you mean with: there will be a "Send" post. That sounds as though there wasn't one before.
As to the post being sent immediately ( or not) : Isn't this something that can only be tested on the board itself?
Try it and report back.

I don’t know but it’s a possibility. It takes five minutes to add robots.txt or make the .htaccess adjustments. You could have done it two days ago and you’d know. There’s no need us suggesting things to try if you don’t try them.

Did you follow up on this viewtopic.php?t=2638256

Can't be fixed? To send the post, it will be sent immediately.

Yes, to send the post, it will be sent immediately.

Great, just write here in order what should I do and how to fix it? I will let you know if an immediate post has been sent.

If a program is slow, there's a reason. Either it's (a) waiting on something else (e.g., an email send), it's (b) swapped out (e.g., an overloaded shared server), or (c) it's burning CPU cycles pointlessly (e.g., a bug). I'm betting on (a). Until you confirm or refute (a)-(c), I have no further suggestions.
