screwed up site

[flyguy]

So---I just spent 15 minutes typing a description of a cartwheel crash I had seen on NBC. While I was typing the site logged me out and said I wasn't registered when I finished the thread and tried to submit it.

I had forgotten about making a copy when it had consistently done the same before. I had just got finished having the site saying that it's own record of my password wasn't valid a couple of days ago. This is starting to get irritating to say the least.

Re: screwed up site

I check out the site daily, and sometimes several times a day. I have had none of the issues you are having. Sometimes our slow Internet causes me fits, but it has nothing to do with the site.

Re: screwed up site

Well I see very often double posts by several different people where the site has done it's "something about 30 second limit on posting interval." I get that problem also, but my thread/reply is always posted OK, I just get that warning and apparently so do they. So maybe my browser is signing me out after 5 or 10 minutes. Have to run a little test on that I guess.

So here is what it just did when I hit submit. Direct copy and paste.


The following errors occurred with your submission

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 30 seconds.

But it posted the reply OK.

Re: screwed up site

Changed to internet explorer and delay of 5 and then 10 minutes on post doesn't cause any problems. So problem may be Firefox browser.

OOPS it just did the 30 second thing when I posted the above via internet explorer.

Interesting.

Has done it with Safari on a Mac since my joining. Like my 76 year old T it works and is the best I can do. Warts?...thanks for the Forum.

You didn't mention the double post as one of your issues in your first post. The only time when I have been logged out is when there has been site maintenance, or my computer has restarted because of an update.
Yes there is the issue of double post, and some seem to have a real problem with it. I have never had a double post. When it first started happening I posted how to avoid making a double post, but my suggestions fell on deaf ears.

It didn't fall on deaf ears, some people couldn't hear it clearly because of the echo, echo, echo. ;-)
