Problem when submitting a post

[MOS95B]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems every time I submit a post, I get a 404 error until I go to a different site altogether, and then back to the home page here. :confused:

I will probably have specific error wording as soon as I hit submit on this...

Well, it appears to be only when I use "Quick Reply" (I'm "going advanced" on this one for a test)

The text on my test post wes:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/search.php on this server.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.papermodelers.com (http://www.papermodelers.com) Port 80


Yep, no error with "Go advanced", so it seems to be tied into the "Quick Reply" box....

Also, I got the same error when submitting the edit of my last post...

Wierd......

[rickstef]

I use a modem (what the heck is that?). I have seen this message when I click before the page is finished loading. Could this be the case?

So you are not alone

I've never had an error on this site, even on my 350MHz machine.
I'm using Opera on both, so maybe it works better. Funny really, since Opera has documented problems with some forums.

No he's not alone..... I'm getting this when I'm browsing the forum sometimes. In the last few days, I've had some threads show up with the attached thumbnail pictures missing and when you click on them you get:

The only way i can get it to come back up as normal is to close internet explorer and re-open it and go to the front page.

I think it may be something to do with internet explorer, because I've not had it happen when I'm using FireFox (yet).

It sounds like problems with the browser cache in IE to me. There are optional directives that the admin can insert in the html pages to tell the browser not to cache the pages - this sometimes clears up this sort of problem. The underlying problem is probably the old IE flakiness ( 7 major versions and it still does this stuff ).

Could very well be an IE problem, but since I need the room for downloaded models, I refuse to install another browser. :D

All I have to do is remember to use the advanced editor, or just go to a different site and then back to the home page.

I've seen it - but every time hitting refresh brings the page up for me.
