PM's lost?

Post by Money pit Beretta »

I have lost a few PM's after I took a long time to write them. I hit submit and it said cannot display page. I did try to go back and they were gone. Anyone know what's going on?

I had this too. For long pm's I copy the message before I send it just on case something happens I can just paste it and resend it.

Most likely something is timing out and causing the error. Weather it's your browser or the site I am unsure, I can't remember if I ever had it happen here.

The old site didn't do that. Just stating a fact, no bitching here. Yeah, I'll make a copy until I hear more about this. I type slow and sometimes open new tabs to look for links. That could be the problem.

I've had it happen more than once so far. Although, I have learned to copy it for pasting when that time happens..... Just it caught me off guard ONCE! :runsies: !

The site didn't go down for attacks on it, the server it sits on crashed once due to a dos attack on the sql server, and I disabled it until that was resolved. I didn't want them to end up restoring a backup and having people lose posts as a result. As far as the pm issue, it is timing out on the session which is server side. I will increase that delay a bit, but the longer the timeout, the more prone to exploit the server becomes.

I'm starting to think it has something to do with IE7. Looks like the site is working for everybody else, for me it's been down. I sent one short PM and then tried to send another. Bam the site went down and I just now got back on.

Shouldn't be an IE7 issue either, I use 7, 8 firefox, safari and opera for development and don't have any issues with it.

Is this one of those need to delete cookies things? I just don't know why the site locks up on me so much.

Will what you did helped. I still do the copy and paste just in case.
