Stuck on "Posted 30 Seconds Ago"
« on: March 02, 2010, 02:23:35 PM »
What does it mean if every attempt to reply in a thread for several days is responded by the Forum system with a message that you cannot post at this time because your most recent post from this IP address was 30 seconds or less ago? My attempts have been about twice a day separated by hours each time. I have rebooted my router, cleared my cookies and given burnt offerings to the technology gremlins to no avail.

Skuzzy have I unknowingly P.O.ed you sir?

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Usually means the session cookie is not being updated (i.e. your browser is not allowing the bulletin board to place its cookie on your computer).

Find the cookie, for the bulletin board, on your computer, and remove it.

Or try logging out of the bulletin board using the "LOGOUT" option, then log back in.

Clearing the cache was not fixing it. I resubmitted the post in the thread. Upon receiving the error message I checked my cookies. I was receiving an old cookie from Feb/23 last month. The current cookie that works is from Feb/29. I cleared the HTC cookies then refreshed the edit page and it allowed me to post.

Thank you for your help Skuzzy.
