attachment and editing issue

[Gamelobby]

Not sure what has changed recently with my site or host, etc, but lately i've noticed when i edit a post it just keeps spinning the loading icon.. even though it has already updated the newly edited post, it never actually proceeds, just keeps spinning. I know now to just click away & it will be edited, but that just not how it is supposed to work.

Also lately attachments dont seem to load.. i can try to upload multiple images, but only one will actually upload, but even the one wont show the image in the post.. just the little.. http://vbulletin.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=806&stc=1&d=1389412731 icon.

Any help appreciated on what to check or where to start.
Thanks

Have you tried on a unmodified default style?
Have you tried with all mods disabled?
What vB version and PHP version are you running?

Haven't tried on default style, or disabled mods. but i guess i should. :)
vB Version 4.2.0 PL4
MySQL version 5.1.72-cll
PHP version 5.4.23

vB4.2.0 is not compatible with PHP5.4 You will need to upgrade to vB4.2.2. or downgrade your PHP version.

I downgraded my PHP for a similar issue... It worked for me...
I am on 4.2.1 by the way..

I just noticed this error on top also..
Warning: Illegal string offset 'username' in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(345) : eval()'d code on line 260

Really.?
4.2.2 sucks though.!

What would i need to downgrade my PHP to?

I would go no lower than 5.3.29 I think was the latest stable version.

Awesome, i'll see if i can do that.

Actually, i only want to go back as far as i have to.. is that it?
Thanks

Yeah .27 or .29 is the way to go.
