Anyone else had site issue this week?

[mudworm]

We received an issue report:

It keeps giving me weird messages – like my session timed out when I just got on there and tried to reply or quote.

I'm trying to identify if it is a site issue or a browser issue from the user's side. Did anyone experience the same in the last week? Thank you!

I had the site "time out" on me when I'd made a short post. But the message posted when I re-hit "post."

Hmmm... Thanks guys. Okay, I can also reproduce it, but I don't know the fix yet. We didn't make any changes, but last weekend, the server moved to a new OS by the hosting company. I suspect it's related, but unfortunately, I don't know how easy to get around it.

It seems that even though I also get the error, what I tried to save or post still worked either the first time, or when I press the button the second time. So, try to do that. In the mean time, it is probably always a good idea to save the content you are about to post to a clipboard first just in case the post gets lost in this mess.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

I deleted my browser history and the quote function worked - as you can see.

It posted the first time too.

It was a plot to silence us...I was logged out.

Nice try!

I do keep getting logged out.  Perhaps that is what happens when a person does not go to the Pins often enough.

Nope - that's not it - I get logged out frequently.
Did your Northern Lights route today with clink.

Somewhere on the internet, it says to resolve the session error, change the login time out to a different value from the default, but the new value is a bit shorter (like two days). So, maybe log in at lease every other day?  

Now, if anyone still experiences session error after having cleaned up your browser history, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm assuming the issue has been resolved.

What did you think of the route?

I am trying to Start A New Topic in the Coe forum, when I click Preview Post I get a message "Fetching preview..." but no preview. The page is finished loaded too (no hourglass or whirling icon, what ever it is called). Win7/Firefox.

Oh, same issue while trying to preview this post. :-(

At least we are not banned....just hindered.

It seems to be only an issue with FireFox. I reproduced it and found the issue report online (with the forum developers' forum). Made the change and it is working now. Thanks for reporting, Charlie!
