# Problems with post.php in 1.5.2

 * OK, so I have a strange issue. When adding or editing a post that contains a 
   link, post.php often just “hangs” (read it continually tries to load itself).
   Now, the content is updated, but the page doesn’t reload to the original post
   or the admin section.
 * So far, I’ve tracked the problem like so. If say, post X has this link in it (
   of course in proper a href format)
 * post.php fails as described above. If I remove said link, the problem disappears.
   I also had the issue in another post and ended up replacing
 * > [http://www.google.com/talk](http://www.google.com/talk)
 * with
 * > [http://www.google.com/talk/](http://www.google.com/talk/)
 * and the problem again resolved itself. However, adding a / to the first referenced
   link has no effect on the problem. An ideas?

 * WordPress is trying to send a [ping](http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging#Pingbacks)
   to the site you linked. Because the receiving site does not accept pingbacks,
   WordPress is effectively “stuck” until the pingback times out.

 * Skippy, thanks for the reply. I guess that’s something I’ll just have to deal
   with, eh? Any way to disable that pingback functionality?
