Title: [Bug] Nonsense
Post by: Troy on July 09, 2012, 03:03:16 am
I keep getting this and I'm pretty annoyed:

The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message.

Before this, I would stay logged in forever, visit the board and it would show me not as logged in.  I would visit a thread and my status would change to logged in.  This leads me to believe there's something wrong with the cookies.

Found this - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=254093.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=254093.0)

- It took me 5 or more times just to get this thread posted without that error.

I got that same error message twice while trying to post to threads. On both occasions though I accidentally mistyped my password and logged in on the second attempt so I just assumed it was an authentication issue.

On both occasions logging out, clearing the browser history and logging back in again properly seemed to do the trick for me

the same happened to me. tried it several times and then it worked again. but really annoying. it´s clear to see that  it´s release time - the technique breaks down everywhere ;-)

I thought I was the only one. I had to clear my whole cache and cookies to get it to work again, And even then, I still had the issue. Logging out didn't work for me, I had to delete my cookies to log out. I sometimes needed to go on IE to post stuff, But then again, The bug would happen on IE after one post.

had the same issue again, couldn´t write anything without this damn error message. like namajnaG I changed to IE and it works. but I don´t know for how long. release time is really cursed. some evil demons try to strike terror into people´s hearts

I cannot tell you how many times I've had this error.  To fix it for me, I have to logout and I get a session error, and then clear my cookies.  Then if I want to make another post, I have to do the same thing.  How stupid.

What browser are you girls using?

Chrome by default, Tried on Firefox and IE. Firefox didn't ever work at all. I had to clear my cookies and cache again to post this.

testing

EDIT: Usually I get the error also.  Tested on Firefox 13.0.1 and Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m.  Firefox is my obvious weapon of choice, as Chrome blows Dalmation cock.

Is someone looking into this issue?  I'm getting sick of having to clear my cookies everyday.

Same here but then it just cropped up again on me as I was posting a reply on another thread a few minutes ago

I haven't been able to post since a few days (hopefully this is working now).
Anyone has a clue why this is happening?
I never had this issue before.

Let me take a wild guess here:

You are all logging into the website from forums.goldeneyesource.net

I have fixed the issue... instead of mirror our website I am redirecting directly to our main hosted url geshl2.com

No, I'm logged in at forums.geshl2.com.

No, I'm logged in at forums.geshl2.com.
Same here. Using Firefox 12. Clearing cookies for geshl2.com before opening the site helps temporary.
Now i use 1 hour or 1 day login time, before i used "forever".

I have applied this hotfix to the SMF code: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=447598.0

You may need to clear your cookies for this site, or simply logout and login again.

If you see the session error message again, post here (if you can haha)

This. Good to know we can post properly on the forums and hopefully not encounter that bug again
