Problem with posting

[wazman]

For the past week or so I've been having an off and on problem with posting and replying to posts. Sometimes, when I click the submit button, I get a "No thread specified - returning to the previous screen" message (I don't remember the whole wording, but the first part is right). Is anyone else having this problem? It's happening with IE 6 on both Windows 98SE and XP systems.

Yep. It was doing that on me for a while.

Now, it's hanging for 10-15 seconds with each page load. It loads the logo and buttons at the top just fine, then stops.

[Xilant]

Nope, I haven't had any problems so far.

[[CD.o.S] LukeDG]

Not had any problems here.

[Tazmanian Devil]

No problems over here too

[splashtech]

No problems for me, either here at home or at college.

I've had that problem a few times. About 3-4 times I've gotten that message. Hmmm....

[wazman]

Nope... No viruses or spyware. Clean install on the 98 system and regular checks on the XP one. This is something forum-related...

It sounds more likely to be either for some reason your browser not handling the requests or cookies correctly, or a server-side issue.

Odd that so many of us haven't seen it. Maybe we are lucky.

Don't spose it could be a firewall?

I've had that problem several times using IE6 w/SP1 and with Mozilla. It seems to be a server problem and is not time of day related as it has happened at peak load and at no load times.

I have had the same problems as wazman and egarrard.

there was a thread in the photography section - an accident.

i have found that if i cant be bothered waiting for the page to loadm when i hit stop, most of it will appear.

[thephenom]

I had that a few weeks ago. Now it's gone.

cookies settings?

[wazman]

I remembered what the rest of the message said:

"No thread specified - if you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster."

Haven't seen it today.

[wazman]

Update! It happened to me again just now. I was replying in the "There are comparable games to HL2 and Doom3" thread and it happened. When I went back, my reply was gone.

I got a screen print of the error. I'm attaching it now. If there's anybody out there who can help, please do so.

[wazman]

That's it. It just happened again in the "Modding killed the PC thread". I'm going to report this thread and see if it gets the mods/admins attention.

[XxFaeryOnFirexX]

it is happening because the server is not processing requests properly i suppose. It has happened to me before on XP IE6/SP1

[wazman]

Well, goody on both of you.

[splashtech]

Its strange... is there any pattern to it, or similarity? Time, browser version, etc?

[XxFaeryOnFirexX]

nah.... it just happens sometimes.
