It's not really a problem; the machine doesn't LOSE my posts.
Here's what happens though.
I'll post something.
And it'll say 'incorrect session, please resubmit the form'.
And sometimes it does this...
...say...
...18 times in a row.
It doesn't lose the CONTENT of the post, but on a slow connection, it gets frustrating...

P.S.>IT DID IT ON THIS POST TOO!!! XD

Well, as a thought, since you did say that your on a slow connection, it could be that the signal is taking so long (I say "so long" relatively here) to get from your computer, through your router, and out onto the internet (specifically STV.com), that by the time it gets to STV.com, your signal is no longer "recognized."

Now, I don't claim to be an expert when it comes to the internet. Everything I just said may be complete nonsense in reality. I don't know. It just seems to make sense. So, someone with more knowledge about this, read it and see if it makes sense to you.

BTW: I made that other topic because I wanted to see what the message was that comes up when you post and how long it took for me.

I should point out that this has also appeared for me on a MUCH faster broadband connection.

I went ahead and moved it to the trash.

I don't know the error specifically, but I did a google search and this is the most helpful thing I found:

Quote:

I don't know so much about this sort of problem...but it sounds like it could be one of a couple issues (nonexhaustive list) Are you sure there are no errors/warnings? sometimes these can be hidden by a browser, make sure you have them turned on...if you have IE go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced ->Browsing -> Check "Display a notification about every script error"

1) cookie problems...try deleteing all your cookies, making sure you have cookies enabled
2) I seem to recall a problem like this one that was caused by session problems...incorrect session ID or incorrect session path...and goodness I can't find the post about it. (for the record, I don't know anything about this so I could be completely wrong..but I think I might have read something about it at some point...)


It's about logging in, but "incorrect session" is in there as well. Resetting, deleting cookies, or something like that may help.

Are you using IE?

To re-iterate my past clarification;
1)It has happened on more then just my home laptop((Work computers(x8 ), Home Laptop, Home desktop, Mother's desktop, Aunt's laptop, Aunt's desktop.))
2)It doesn't seem to matter what type of connection I'm using
3)It doesn't seem to matter what browser I use, Firefox, IE7, and Safari have all had this issue.

Huh, well, under your profile, do you have "Always allow BBCode" and "Always allow HTML" check as yes or no? That may have something to do with it.....?

BTW: Thanks for taking care of that TM.
