Question

My personal page on one of my TWiki installations has stopped being accessible all of a sudden. The behaviour is (rather a typical hang with lock up) a just sitting forever until I give up the wait and hit the back button on the browser. Other TWiki users are reporting the same problem when trying to access the page.

All links to the page are still showing properly as active hyperlinks throughout the TWiki, the topic page lists as an active link fine in the TWikiUsers topic page, the WebTopicList, searches, and all my permissions/login are still working.

I've tried deleting the topic page and the .v file at the server level and then going back into the TWiki to create a new topic with the same title. The TWiki just sits forever comtemplating such a request. I've tried just deleting the .v file to see if that works. No luck with that either.

I've also double checked all the text and settings on the page (at server level) to see if there is something strange there. No luck. I'm not using topic view controls on the page btw.

Has anyone experienced something similar? It is only this one topic page on the whole Twiki suffering this fate.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

yes, this has happened on twiki.org even. generally its due to searches / complex includes on the user topic...

Thanks for the tip Sven and the idea that it wasn't just me :-). I've now gone through the page and deleted things I thought were OK progressively reloading the page each time I did do. Yay! It's now viewable. It seems to be the use of the RenderListPlugin that threw the page out. Wierd. But its back up. Thanks!
