Session Timed Out error

[Speeddog]

trying something, any better?

Test.

-----Edit----
No issue on this reply, but it hasn't happened to me since I logged on this AM, so that may not mean much.

[Ash]

it's still doing it, and i have a theory... let me test it

nope... nevermind... theory incorrect

[Ash]

add to the weirdness: i can't logout by clicking on the logout button.

i have to physically delete the cookie to log out.

logging in again allowed me to successfully post.

let me clarify

if you were having this issue, delete your cookies *then* logout, log back in, and let me know if you continue having the problem.

An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. 

Isn't that what the error says msg says to do? (but the cookies is new)

[sqweak]

yes desmo, but for some people when they get the error they can't log out at all (it just keeps spitting the error).  Deleting the cookies should allow them to. wt:

This error just happened to me.
I had logged in shortly before, and it happened on my first post attempt.

Tried to logout, and it wouldn't do it.
Cleared my cookies, and it let me logout, log back in, and post.

Running IE in WinXP on a GatewayPC if that may have anything to do with it.

I got the error yesterday as well.  Had to shut the browser down completely and relaunch it to get in.

[Speeddog]

Just got hammered again by a variation of this error.
It said the topic was closed or off-limits or something like that....

For reference to anybody that has just done a long typing session and gets clipped when trying to post...
Go up and click the 'back' button, copy the text, log back in, go back to where you were replying, and paste the text in.
I'm a *really* slow typist, so I've learned the hard way.

This is happening to me quite frequently over the last couple of days.  I have the site up but minimized while I am at work, when I get a few moments I'll bring it up and check to see what's happening.  I get this error every time I try to send a PM after I haven't been active for a while (not sure what constitutes a while though).  I can't log out when this happens either.  I have to clear the cookies before I can log in again and have it work properly.

SheMonster: Do you have "stay logged in" checked, or are you just using the default 60 minutes?

We're working to track this down, but as it's sporadic it's being a bit of a pain.  when you post up that you're having issues, please give as much information as you can about how you're using the board and specifically if you're doing anything unusual.

Examples of things worth mentioning:
*Weather you're checking "stay logged in"
*That this problem is only happening on your home computer after being logged in fine at work all day
*Accessing the site through a firewall, content filter, or proxy

Thanks!

In the boxes on the top right when I log in with screen name and password, it has a stay log in "Forever" box open.  This is from my work computer, not sure what firewalls there are?   Sorry, I'm not tech savvy enough to know what info is important for you 

[sqweak]

thats good start. when you say the forever box is "open" do you mean unchecked?

[SheMonster]

thats good start. when you say the forever box is "open" do you mean unchecked?

No, its a drop down box.  There is a box for screenname, a box for password, and then the drop down box.  Forever seems to be the default, I just logged out to look at it and when you open the drop down box your choices are 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, Forever.  it defaults to Forever.

gotcha. thanks!

once you do the cookie clear and logout cycle, you're ok again until leaving it inactive for an unspecified period of time?
