    A very common forum error

    One error seems to crop up more and more often. In certain threads, several things happen.

    (1) Pressing the reply button doesn't work. It seems that several question marks are inserted into the thread name, and deleting this part of the URL will solve the problem.

    (2) Trying to get out from the thread using the combo box at the bottom will result in this rather strange URL:
    http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ubb/foru...=Go%2BAAA-AAA-

    (3) Hitting the link at the top to go back to the forums will get you to a blank page, but with the correct URL on top! Hitting refresh will get you the right page.

    This is really a strange thing, and happens every few days...

    An example right now would be the Hot or Cold-- HELP!!! thread in the OT forum, although the problem is usually temporary...

      I made a test reply in that thread with no problems. perhaps I missed something

        Nope, I tried too (once I saw your test reply) and it's still there.

        Maybe it's an IE5 problem? No, I'm pretty sure I've had it happen to me at school (IE4) as well. It really only hits specific threads, at specific times... I dunno what it is.

          Futher clues:

          When you point to the Reply link, the page you're linking to is displayed on the status bar not in the default font, but in some completely different font.

          If I clear my browser, it still stays (It is not a cookie problem, that is).

          The URL of the "Reply" page comes out as: http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ubb/postings.cgi?acti on=reply&forum=Off-Topic&number=23&topic=010881.cgi&TopicSubject=Hot? ?-HELP!

          This works fine if you just click it here, or if you refresh the blank page that appears when you hit the reply button.

                Murgo, you call this whining? I call this helping make Apolyton better.

                  The only serious problem I have that sometimes (when there is a f*cked up banner) if I dont click anything for some time I get redirected to a real strange url (that doesnt even exist).
                  But I have ICQed Markos a lot of times with this. Didnt get a reply though.
