Redbird Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Just seeing if it'll let me start new threads, like ToXXic says his will. Jerry's having the same problem. Still need to clean out my cache, this just reading and no posting is getting old :sad: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 If this comes through, then I'm in the same boat as T2- I can start new topics and reply to myself, but that's it. I love computers :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookman49 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Ok how about this one. If I go to post a reply and I click on "View more Emoticons" (not with the Emoticons that are posted ot the left) then select one of them it deletes what I was typeing. I have tried it several times with the same result Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookman49 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 It's cuz you were choosing an inappropriate emoticon. Â I must be a very, very bad boy!! Just don't tell my wife please. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hmm, if that's true, then we have two issues. I know for a fact the session loss without an IP address change is an issue, because I get that when I lose my sessions. My address has not changed in months though. I also don't think we're having this issue on the other boards I host, but I am going to ask and see if I find a pattern. I can't code in php. Just no skills in that at all. So I have no ability to change this. If there's a phpBB mod to do it, I'm open to the idea. Meanwhile, I'd like to figure something out, so take the poll. As far as Ken's emoticon issue, that's something I couldn't even find as a previous issue with a search. Which browser and version? Have you tried the cache clearing?

Redbird Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Joe suggested I use Internet Explorer as my browser rather than AOL, if this goes through it'll be my second successful post in a row- a record in the last 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Seems to have taken care of the problem for now. Thanks, Joe- I'M BACK :grin: :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 FWIW... AOL is notorious for switching IP addresses mid session. This messes with ALOT of software's security models. A good deal of the software my company writes freaks out if you use AOL because of the mid session IP switching... IP switching is a common hacker tactic, and thus the security structure of a lot of software will freak if it happens. I guess what I'm trying to say is... AOL sucks..

SwampNut Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Joe suggested I use Internet Explorer as my browser rather than AOL Oh, shit, I never thought someone would be using the AOL browser. Yeah, that thing is known to have serious issues with any secure php apps. Ok, is anybody else having the problem and NOT using the AOL browser?

XXMAN Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have AT&T broadband and AOL. AT&T works and AOL does not. I think your right about AOL being the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 he uses a Compuserve dial-up.....which may have the same issues. Yeah, CIS sucks ass. Is he using the CIS browser, or another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteman Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 i use the compuserve browser, which i think is some version of mozilla. but i dont know how to find that out. this post is through IE. we will see if it goes through. i was able to post once a few minutes ago with the cs browser then i got the invalid message. i hope i can use compuserve soon cause this IE is slowwwww.

TOXXIC Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I've been absent as using the "new" computer at home just doesn't work. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Joe, Would leaving myself "logged" on at work, i.e., failing to "log out" cause me to have "invalid sessions" at home? Never did before....................... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 By the way, using Microsoft Internet Explorer at home, rather than AOL, increases my chances of a post success by about 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
