Why Do I Almost Always Have To Refresh and Re-Post?

[Ralph Barker]

If you are having this issue, please include the browser (with version) and the OS platform version you are running. So far, it looks like it might be a Windows 8 issue, but that is unclear without the added info. I'm not having any issues with Firefox 39 on Win 7.1 (with the latest updates), for example. The more info we can provide Tom, the easier it will be for him to research the technical problem.

Firefox 41.0a2 Windows 8.1 (with latest updates), Cyberfox 39.0, and IE 11.096. The search ussue with single content type is with all 3 as the Search Multiple Content type works it's highly unlikely to be all 3 browsers.

The timing out while writing threads has been happening with Firefox and only with this Forum and not APUG which at the moment still uses vBulletin but is about to migrate.

Try using the 'Log Out' link in the upper right to clear the Forum cookies. Clearing out temp files (check specific browser help for the procedure on that) and other cookies might also help. I was seeing some of the same issues this morning & cleaning out cookies & temp files seems to have resolved the issue for me.

Tom - re cookies etc, I'm using Firefox in Private Browsing mode, still have the problem. Also, I log out each time. The problem comes and goes - didn't have it at all the last few weeks, now there are glitches with almost every login.

I cleared my cookies, and all is well. Firefox OS is Solaris 10.

OSX (version 10.9.5) Safari (version 7.1.6) Hope this helps - Thanks!

So, looking closer, it looks like there is a corrupt database table related to the search cache that's crashing the database every 5-15 mins or so. I'll have to take the site down & fix the table(s) while the site offline. I'll probably do that tomorrow morning while traffic is low, since the issue doesn't seem to be impacting ability to post or read, just annoying disconnects.

[Tom Westbrook]

This issue should be resolved now. Post here if you're still having disconnect issues.

The Search Single Content Type is now working but not properly. It's missing an awful lot of Posts. If I search for my posts it only shows those made in 2007. So there's still an issue there.

It's quite badly broken, I tried another search and the person in question appears to have made no posts, which I know for definite is not correct,

If I check for mine it now lists the 3 threads I've posted in since the site went down for maintenance today and those from 2007.
