Forum Timing Out Faster

[Joram]

Doesn't work for me, this is a very annoying bug.  Luckily intermittent but it is frustrating to post here.

Hi guys, I have updated a setting on the server.

Since I could not replicate the problem though, could you guys try posting now and let me know if its still happening for you?

I type address and get in forums. I'm automatically logged in, some cookie thing from previous session (save as cookie checked).
I read thread about Marc's wedding. I typed (another) reply. Post didn't pass through, I got error. That was just minutes ago.
I hit back button. I log in, prepare post (again), it goes through.
I read this forum up to quote above. I type this reply. Let's see what happens now when I hit OK...

[edit]
Post went through on first try... this time
I'm using IE, as usual. Have had this problem few times before. But now it's happened in TWICE in this week!

I am looking into the issue with the server to try and fix it asap.

In the meantime, you can also log in using cookies instead of sessions by ticking the "Save as Cookie" tickbox. This should help the situation, and prevent you from being logged out when the site loses its sessions.

I am reasigning a cookie each time it logs me off, and it still logs me off

right now with Netscape it is logging me off before I can reach the bottom of the post, I am on IE to try and post this

Im getting logged out all the time. Som times in just few minutes after login. I use firefox 3.0. 

I cleared cache in firefox (välimuisti in finnish if it was correct) - hopefully that helps - usually it does.

[Alex Fiedler]

Ok, I made another change to the forums, so lets see if works better now.

You may need to shutdown your browser and log in again, but let me know if it keeps logging you out.

I still get logged out every now and then, twice the past 30 mins. Some days I can post as much as I want with no issues, other days I cannot even type two words without getting timed out.

[Hard Sarge]

well, I am able to get to the reply area now at least

[Hard Sarge]

overall, looking good, so far, but it does tend to go in spots, but hopefully this will get it working better

[Zakhal]

I dont know whether it was the cleaning of the cache or change in forums but so far so good.

Was AFK a bit , 10+ Min and it timed me out..

Simply trying refresh (cookies enabled... WORKED in old times) failed

Server not found













Firefox can't find the server at www.matrixgames.com.








* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.








Had to close FF and restart to get into forum again

This is NOT like old site where I could go AFK for a hour and still pickup my forum reading right off!

If a New Hosting Company, its bad

[Cmdrcain]

Humm

If Forums moved is there a particular new host address?

Possiable that some firewalls, set to allow that old site certain things now has the new one blocked.

For example, visiting a new site I auto block all scripts,
and all cookies, session, persistent,3rd Party.

If new host requires a cookie of own and its being Blocked...

I notice when log into the forum its loading a s7 Addthis.com before www.matrixgames.com

addthis.com auto gets all scripts, cookies blocked.

[Hard Sarge]

for what it is worth, it seems better, but still is happening some, but getting the error screen now instead of the logged off and becoming a guest

which with the error screen you can back up and your still logged in

[Hard Sarge]

or as just happened get the sever not found message !

this one is odd because you can just click try again and it finds it ?

[Erik Rutins]

We think we found the problem, but we need a fix from the forum developer, so it may be a few more days before this is resolved.

[BoredStiff]

This happened to me the other day now too, for the first time. It wasn't a long post either, took no more than 2-3 minutes to compose, just a short paragraph.

Additionally, I've been having the problem of my browser's Back button occassionally not working. I'm using IE 7.xxx, under XP SP3. I can make it work if I click on it in rapid succession. This only happens occassionally, but it happened just now, which is why I'm posting this message.

The Back button problem I've experiences at other sites, albeit very rarely, but not the time-outs.


I've stopped surfing pR0n sites some time ago, so that's not the problem.

[Alex Fiedler]

The problem has been fixed! I managed to get an updated DLL which solved the primary issue with logouts.

I'm not sure whats going on with the page-not-found type errors, as that is a separate thing not related to the dropped sessions problem. Perhaps we need a new thread for that if those types of errors continue.

So the session dropouts should now be fixed.

[USSAmerica]

Thanks, Alex!  [8D]

[Gil R.]

Alex, I'm not sure it's fixed. Yesterday things seemed to be better, but I was still booted off a few times. And tonight I got booted off again, and when I came to this thread to post this message I got booted off seven straight times before I could post it (taking more than five minutes!). Sorry to have to report this...

(And I just got booted off again when I tried to edit this.)

[madgamer2]
