This has happened to me recently and I'm not sure why. I'll hit the "respond" button in a thread, pop up the edit box, type like a demon, hit the "post" button which refreshes the thread but not with my just edited post. Seems that I am no longer signed in, and that occurs sometime during the editing session.

This is mildly annoying, and since a lot of the stuff I post is really lint I'm not too bent by the event. When I am posting something I care about I usually edit in some other utility and then paste the text into the edit box.

But it's not clear to me why I'm being signed off...

...any SuperTopo staff people want to speculate?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.7 usually with the Safari Browser 2.0.4 (419.3).

As I said above, I've noticed this happening only recently.

Anyone else?

Me three. Same setup as Ed. Annoying.

Ed, I have not seen that behavior. But somewhere in the 2:30 - 4:30AM PDT, the ST gets very unresponsive. Sometimes returns weird error messages about sql errors, other times I just give up waiting for a response.

Couldn't connect to mysql. Page: /climbing/forum.html Error:Too many connections Contact webmaster@supertopo.com.

Sent copy of that to Chris on Jun 26. He forwarded to the webmaster. The condition continues, intermittently.

You aren't running any multi-threaded spiders then are you?

Is your behavior time dependent?

Got this on the first try to post above...

Network Error (tcp_error)


A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

I see the first post actually posted!

I tried to post at 3 am. No Joy.

This is a good thing, I should be sleeping.

'Never seen that one.

You think your posts are often just "lint" Ed?
That's funny.

After a g-zillion posts I finally experienced the vanishing edit button, just on one thread and the button is still gone on those particular posts.

The thing which torques me most now has nothing to do with super topo i'm sure:

I'll be merrily spewing away into the reply box using "Dragon", my voice activated software, and certain vowels or sounds will prompt the browser to jump out of the reply box to some link.
(best to do as Ed said and work in Word or some editing program, then paste into the reply box if it is a valued composition).
