ISSUE: I often cannot submit posts for a while

Got this today.

For me this happens when you start a new post and take too long to submit. Same happens when you get a new IP address in that time frame.

Id consider this only a minor issue since the text is still there. With the first failed submission the session should refresh and a 2nd click on submission should finally submit the content.

The other solution is that you simply type faster

In that case I would suggest to copy the text, refresh the page with F5 and then past it back in.

I cant really tell how complicated it is to increase the session time on this forum software.

I already upped the session time, but I have a feeling the issue lies somewhere else. I had it a few times before, and I didn’t spend long time writing posts…

I suspect the session’s lifetime is not always (or ever) refreshed when just opening a new page, so the expiry can happen basically at any point and that’s what prompts a refresh.

I just had a massive problem with URLs not being re-written correctly, redirecting me to the front page again and again. Anybody else got that problem? Maybe this is related?

Yes. Instant submission lock. After relogin it works

Do not want to create another topic, but want to ask, this one seems quite suitable. Whats up with the webiste layout i posted once some time ago? If it looked good for you, i can upgrade it a while (f.e. fix some bad looking blocks and design decisions, add widescreen support) and help with implementing. Or you guys thrown any idea of doing something there as community is almost dead?

Maybe “let’s encrypt” it to make https ?

EDIT: let’s encrypted already

So only links left

Recently I am getting the session problem nearly every time I try to post (PMs+forum). Has anything changed?

Trying to post.
EDIT: works well.

I think he means the session timeouts which happens when it takes too long between clicking on “reply” and then finally clicking on “submit”.
Increasing the session time in the settings should help.

For members it might be best (just to be sure) to copy/paste the text prior posting and refreshing the website on the browser.

Actually last time I was unable to post until I logged out and logged in again (like others described). The other times I had to wait some minutes and it worked then. Trying multiple times without waiting always resulted in the session timeout message. For PMs it is even worse: You just get an empty black window.

Edit: Since I did the logout and login afterwards I did not have any problems (like with this post), but that might just be coincidence.
