I think I know what may be causing this, but I am not really sure about it.
And if I'm not wrong Trel does not know what is causing it too.
If I'm not wrong, it should be due to the server lagging.
Just a while ago I was making a post, and the page takes ages to load. I expected a "No post mode specified" and indeed, it happened.
I think it may be due to how the server reacts. Because the server was lagging, and how this site deal with sessions/cookies (it seems to be modified before to deal with the secure login page, which afterwards was removed), it may think the poster has already viewed the page after posting, and is accessing /posting.php when he's not posting anything.

Yup, I got that error, but my post got submitted successfully.
The other time, for some reasons, somehow, but I don't know how, I did not earn PBPP when I encountered that error, even when my post was submitted (I even reloaded the page to see my post). I went to delete it and re-post, and I got my PBPP.
I almost lost like 20+ PBPP due to that error.

When you make a new post, you should see the posting.php page with the following string appended: "?mode=reply&t=####", with #### being the post number.
That said, if these variables to not get passed to the posting script, then "No post mode" is literally true, a post mode has not been specified.
That said, this is not because you are not submitting something correctly, or a server hanging. What is actually happening is a false return, or more or less, you're not getting the right #### sent back (or in some cases, none at all).
So the true question is, why isn't the correct post number being returned? |

Yes, I have a phpBB forum hosted here and it happens exactly the same: a blank page returned (sometimes). The posting time is arround 15s which is too much. 16s PHP and 15 SQL aprox.
I thought it was only me but it seems it's a server problem. Moderators should move this topic to "Server Support Questions" I think

phpBB is a kinda heavy forum system anyway. I am not really that surprised that it goes 'unresponsive' sometimes.
All of my sites (which do not run phpBB) never get such a blank page problem, so I guess it's a phpBB-only thing.

no, martin just said his forum, hosted on this server, is having the same issue, so it is a server issue.
I have the same problem here, but i get a DNS error page - if i reload, i get the no post mode page, and still get my points

There are failsafes in place to prevent any one website from overloading the server as a whole. When 50 spiders hit the website at once (I've done everything I can think of at the moment to throttle these) it will just do this to prevent overloads in general.
