Mods: This post can be deleted or moved. I tried to post in the FAQ/Help section but it is locked for us minions.

Recently I'm having issues logging in to this site. In addition when editing or sending a post I've found the browser can crash/hang or dupe entries.

I left it as I thought it may just be a local issue with my cookies/whatever but i've seen a few posted by other where it looks like the same has happened to them.

I've had some problems with the wi-fi connect due to the signal. On the hardwire everything works perfectly

Oh dear I'll pass this on

I doubt there's a remote problem here Ian. Like I say the connect continues to work perfectly
It's at the users end

No problems here with IE7 ... and no changes to site that would affect browser behaviour i.e. javascript.

Please provide more information about your browser types, pages that cause problems and dates/times if possible.

Firefox 2.0 was unstable when I installed it on OS X 10.4 with all latest updates. I reverted back to 1.5.x and no problems since. Camino, Firefox 1.5.x, IE6 and IE7 have been working perfectly here on Windows and OS X.

Login problems should only be affected by cookie data not being processed properly. Make sure that you delete all temp. files in Windows and run full virus and malware scans - try scans in Safe Mode on Windows systems.

There could be some other network or Apache related problems but I have not noticed any issues here.

I've got the same problems. Pages won't load when the link is clicked and it's necessary to frequently reload. I assumed the bb code had been 'tweaked'.

Safari on OSX mostly but it's the same on Firefox.

Well I've just checked and it's only loading one cookie, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.

edit - Opps no a google cookie just came up despite the fact I've only got one nineeleven page open in my browser.

ID=101cdXXXXXXce983:TM=117XXXXXX:LM=117XXXXXX:S=XXXXXX

Anyone know what sort of a cookie that one is?

No tweaks to phpBB code that would lead to problems with forums links, posting or logins. Only changes to code relating to signing up of members have been (very recently) made - no connection whatsoever to forum links, posting or login issues.

It is possible that Apache may have been less responsive at times (recently) thus leading to double posting and login issues i.e. slow response and/or non-complete delivery of content leading to second click or (partially) dropped (login etc.) data/cookies/pages. These symptoms could also be down to PW network issues e.g. dropped packets, routing problems, load balancing probs. etc. Could also be database related ... need more info. really.

Keep an eye on the problems and report back anything that you experience. Once we've got enough info. we can harass PW support.

And the same with me too - really difficult getting in, submitting a post often leads to duplicate entries. I would add that this is most apparent in the latter part of the day, no probs early on. Last night it was the worst it has been.

Yes lots of hang-ups, stalls, page load fails etc. its almost like the data is going via a 3rd party! or parties Wink

I've had the same problems... links taking a long time to begin loading, double posts because of supposed timeouts etc.

This smells like a denial of service attack on the boards host ip.

Or it might just be your server is having hard drive issues?

Had the same problems too. But this morning it seems to be better.

Lastweek or the week before there was a outage with and SQL update message displayed for a short time.

I noticed these problems only after that.

I tried emailing to a poster yesterday, I got this message come up,

"Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 435 Unable to authenticate at present"

What is going on? Confused

IronSnot · Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2007 9:12 am Post subject:

Did the mail go through Linda? If it was a PM you can check in your folder, and if it's showing the respondent has read it. Not sure about emails, I havn't tried that faciility.

I'm getting this error code quite often on my posts;

Could not connect to smtp host : 110 : Connection timed out

According to this guy it's a server issue;
