Being logged off when posting?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Several times over the last week or so I've posted msgs and when hitting "preview" or "submit" am thrown to the "you're not logged in" screen. OK, so I enter my pw again and... find that my post has been lost in transit. ? :confused: It appears to be related to how long I'm in the editor. Start a post, get called away by some #$&*%$ door-knocker and I can almost guarantee this'll happen when I get back to the 'puta.

Worse, I'm often away for days at a time and when I log in I hit "new posts" then open each page in seperate browser windows so I can easily catch up. Once I hit the above snag, all the links are SNAFU and hitting "new posts" only brings the very latest. At least that bit works as expected. Dammit. So I have to slog through things the hard way and 'tis making what should be a simple matter into a wearisome chore. It has happened several times tonight... I'm not a happy chappie. :(

Anyone else copping this?

[RETIRED]

Skew. Have you ticked the "remember me" box at your log in.

The board refreshes every 15 mins if there is no server activity. Possibly why you are losing your posts.

Nope, not here. I haven't even had the freeze problem when sending large PM's for a while. Seems they may have fixed that too.

I don't open the new posts in new windows though.

When I go to post a message I get sent to the not logged in screen even though it shows that I am logged in in the upper R.H corner of the screen, & that I cannot post a message as it is an invalid entry or something. I then log in again & re-post only to find that my original post has been sent! I have to go back & delete one of the posts. :mad:
I don't reckon that it's all me or my browser ( Mozilla Suite ) as I did not have any problems before the forum page update.
Just my two bobs worth.

if your using IE and you've changed privacy settings this can happen - make sure you set this site to "always accept cookies" or reduce the privacy settings for all pages.

Have you cleared the cache and cookies since the upgrade? That worked for me.

[Captain Chaos]

G'day Gumbie,
Yes. I was having the old no smilies problem & cleared both the cookies & cache + history. I downloaded & installed the latest version of Mozilla suite & got my smilies back. Now this new problem has arisen. Could possibly be the time frame as suggested. Will clear cache & cookies again & go from there. Thanks Gumby. :-)
Regards,
Barry.

No probs. If it doesn't work, take the monkey road :D

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Skew. Have you ticked the "remember me" box at your log in.

Yup. And also in every login screen I come across during a session. :(

They upgraded the website recently and it might have caused problems to some viewers.

THEY KILLED MY COOKIE TOO.

Sorly wots my passy word again?:p

Test post using firefox

edit: not logged out

[steven]

test reply using firefox and the Quick Reply

test reply using firefox and the Quick Reply
I cant reproduce this problem.

One thing that'll always log a session out is changing the URL used to access the website. Would the people who are having this problem be able to check that the URL doesnt change during the redirects after posting a message.

http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au is different to http://woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au (note the www.).

I'd also like to know what type of reply function your using - Quick Reply or the standard one? and do both log you out?

cheers

[Captain Chaos]

G'day cyc,
I haven't had any problems using the quick reply so far. I'm using standard reply now so we'll see what happens.:) I'm currently using Mozilla Suite 1.7.12 which has not given me any other problems at any time. I also have Firefox 1.7 installed but haven't tried posting with it yet. It worked well when I was not able to access smilies in Mozilla. It's just a personal thing but I prefer Mozilla Suite over Firefox.
Well here goes.
Barry.
P.S heres the URL that lshows when I use standard reply. /www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/newreply.php?d

[Captain Chaos]

cyc - Steve, Noworries this time around. Posted first up. Coulda been what young Mr. Gumby suggested, i.e clear the cache & cookies. which I've done.
Will also try posting with Firefox as well.
Thanks Steve.
Barry.
P.s , You can delete these two posts if you like. :- ) OR - send them to the Orange Room perhaps??? ;-)

[Kev-in Melb]

I'm getting the same problem

Two fingers typer....check spelling.......throw in a distraction or two, back to two finger typing, click submit reply and everything is lost because i'm logged out.

Just end up logging back in and move on to a different thread.

Can we have more than 15 min idle time, for the sake of us focused speed typers.

Cheers

I cant see a "remember " box anywhere:confused:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Just a quick update on my problem: since last Chrissy I haven't had the problem once.

I've been giving it time, just to make sure it wouldn't rear its' ugly head once I relaxed my guard. I changed my browser to Firefox a bit before then which seemed to make no diff at the time, but with the code-bloat in M$ software who can say for sure? Methinks IE was the culprit but windoze was a week or so late in catching on to the change. ;)

Happened to me a few times, in the end I just copied what I had written and if it bombed out I just logged in again and pasted it straight away before it had time to cut me off.

[keith53]

Skew,

I'll apologise for this in advance but after looking at your avatar I'd say has enabled the ugly-meter. That's why its kicking you off!!~:D

[Phil Mac]

when this happened to me my daughter recomended i type the message in Microsoft Word then copy it and paste it in to this system. seems to work well
You have the origonal in word if you get disconnected from the web or logged off

You could also copy the text before clicking "submit reply"

"Word" leaves horrid tags which make the post hard to read.

Al :)

Al, pease explain. It doesn’t happen to mine.

[ozwinner]

Maybe its Office then, it leaves horrid tags on the end of all the sentences.:eek: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Woodworking tools were involved. The shaving was just a by-product.
