If you get the posting error, back up and refresh the page. It will go through the 2nd time. What you typed will still be there but copy it if you want to be extra sure,

Here's one for you. Still it seems that frontpage and forum logins aren't working properly. Since the website got upgraded, I decided to test out the comment issue. Its old news that comments are never tagged, so I did this:

1. Clear cookies (closed browser) and session data
2. Go to home page.
3. Log in from Homepage. Logged in and everything great.
4. Made a comment on news article

Results:
http://www.msfn.org/cms/news_story/windows...ng_13_july.html

Note: It won't let you post a comment if you aren't logged in. After you post a comment, you are no longer logged into the home page (because you can't make new comments), but you are logged into the forum. Also, it said my time was 6:10pm!

Well that's what happened to me. Comments still broken. Also if you go to the home page, it says that news item has 0 comments. If you click it, it suddenly says 1 comment. If you go back to the homepage, it says 0 again.

I wouldn't want to figure this headache out! :crazy:

JK Xper does a great job! :thumbup

EDIT: OK I finally got this message... It has to do with the session data I believe. The session hash stored by the browser does not equal the one stored on the server. This doesn't mean that the hash is changing, but perhaps it is expiring on the server, which can give this message also.

I'v got the errors many times today and as late as 5 minutes ago.
Almost impossible to use the board at the moment because of this.

Also if I enable activeX (which is disabled by default) pages take ages to download...

I may have found what is causing this issue. I will report it and hopefully it can be fixed soon.

Good to know.
On a side note - is there any way to change the look of the main page at least a little bit? The blue is SO pale it looks really weird.
I liked the old look much more :)

I'm having to log in again/auth error when I click in a subscription email. You need to give it some time from your last browsing session to see it. I also get a session ID in my address bar when I get here after clicking the link....site not seeing my cookie.

Tried clearing cookies but still happens.

It happens with fast reply, reply and new topic. Haven't seen it with full or quick edit yet.

When completing an edit with "Quick Edit," the form just freezes up and doesn't complete the edit at all. I have to copy everything and use the "Full Edit" to, well, edit my posts. :P

Yes, we know there's still an issue. No need for everyone to keep telling us. :rolleyes: There isn't much we can do until xper comes online.

That's not happening for me at all. I haven't tested the timeout option with edit, I can do that now.
