Bug Can't Read Threads? PM Me for Help

[Office_Shredder]

For the past half hour or so whenever I try to open a thread I get an error message saying that it can't download a cookie properly and the below as a header of sorts. When I try to open up PMs I can see the PM but still get the weird looking header (it's shorter though).

If anyone knows what's wrong, please PM me as I probably can't read this thread

EDIT: I can read this thread for some reason, but I'm not convinced of my continued ability to do so

EDIT2: I can actually read all the threads in this section

[Evo]

There was a problem with RSS feeds. Seems to be fixed now.

 

[Office_Shredder]

Yeah everything's working now. I waited a little bit to post because I figured someone else would have the same problem and complain first, but when that didn't happen I panicked

 

[Evo]

Apparently some people had no problems. Odd.

 

[waht]

I had the same problem, and couldn't even open this thread. But now it works fine.

 

[Office_Shredder]

I didn't think I'd be able to read their thread but if I saw a thread that said 'I can't read threads!' in the title I'd have a good idea what it was talking about :)

 

[Borek]

There was few minutes that I had the problem about every second page refresh.

To set cookie server has to exchange information with the browser in form of HTTP headers (this is a protocol restriction) - that means, before any content is sent. Error messages are treated just as a page content - so when they were displayed, server is no longer able to set a cookie. As long as everything works OK it is usually not a problem.

Edit: RSS feeds are source of problems now and then, that's not the first time.

 

[my_wan]

It's back. I see what appears to be threads about the issue today, but I am unable to read them. It seems that the more responses a thread has, the more likely it is I'll be able to open it.

I'm having trouble opening threads, too. It seems to help a bit if I log out then log back in but maybe that's just coincidence.

 

[Astronuc]

Try logging out and back in. That seems to correct some of the problem.

If it persists, I'll reboot PF at 12 noon EDT (1600 GMT).

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The matter has been resolved. Thanks to Astronuc for leadership and attention to this problem!

 

[Borek]

Speaking of problems: for the last few days I am getting random database problem screens, I think it have happened at least three times up to now. Last time in about last 10 minutes.

Try logging out and back in, and see if that helps clear up the problem. If it happens again, PM a copy of the database problem screen.

I get this problem occasionally also. Definitely very random. Refreshing the page seems to fix it for me.

 

[Borek]

No need to log out/in, as Borg wrote - just refreshing is usually enough.

 

[Borek]

Here you go. Refreshing helped. Unfortunately apart from the message "Database error" there is no additional information.

Each time it happens there is a several seconds lag between me clicking the link and PF displaying error message. Could be what the error message really means is "database timeout".

Now that I think about it, it looks similar to what have happened few months ago. It ended with database HDD being replaced and - IIRC - some additional hurdles.

 

[Office_Shredder]

I get that every once in a while too. I figured it was just me

 

[Borek]

Checked this time - database error message is shown after about 30 seconds, such a round value suggests preset timeout.

 

[Astronuc]

No need to log out/in, as Borg wrote - just refreshing is usually enough.

I know that refreshing will fix it temporarily, but I was thinking that logging out and in again may be fix what's causing the error in the first place.

I've had a couple of errors as well.

Is it just viewing threads/posts, or does it occur when posting too?

Personally, it has only happened to me when attempting to view threads. I don't remember it occurring when posting. It doesn't seem to happen when I select the main PF link at the top or the Get Posts -> Today's Posts link in the menu either.

 

[Borek]

Just viweing, so far never happened to me while posting. But then I read much more than post.

LOL - would you believe it? Database error exactly when submitting THIS answer.

Edit: no, obviously it was not when posting, but when refreshing view after the post was already inserted into the database.
