NorioDS Despite the email, I still looked for guitarforum. Ah well, call me a slow learner!

And colour me impressed! It's cool, and I'm enjoying it; if this is just the promise of things to come, this is schweeeet!

domhatch Thanks!

Yeah if this does well, I only want to grow the community from here. Lots of exciting possibilities but first we need to revive this place ?

NorioDS
Well you survived the first decade.. now lets kick this fourom,
as a relative noob to the site, I'm personally glad to have discovered it and hope a long and prosper future ahead

Here's one : I was trying to necro-bump this thread : https://community.guitartalk.co.za/d/17983-movies-about-music-musicians/34

And I just keep on getting the "ooppss something went wrong, please try again" message - no matter how many times I try and post it.

What am I doing wrong? ?

V8 Awesome! Thanks for finding this bug. Turns out that it was a SQL error caused during the import. Specifically to do with the number_index column on the discussions table.

I fixed it for that discussion and tested it by doing a test reply. It worked. I deleted my reply so you can go ahead and play there again ?

I then fixed it for all other discussions. So we shouldn't see that exact bug again.

Thanks again for spotting this one!

NorioDS Cool! Thanks Norio, maybe that was the thing that PeteM and I saw occasionally during the first few days of the new forum?

V8 Nope that was definitely different. This was a SQL index issue. So the post never got inserted. What you guys experienced was that the post got inserted but something else caused an error message, making it look like the post never got inserted.

That's a logic flaw in Flarum. Essentially, their code is saying: If there's any error at all during the posting process, then return an error. (So even a notification email not being sent for a reply, constitutes an error.)

Hopefully they'll fix that in the next major release.

NorioDS (So even a notification email not being sent for a reply, constitutes an error.)

Ahhhh, okay - makes sense - it's like a error handling catch all?

V8 Pretty much, yeah.

h'lo NorioDS. i have experienced issues logging off (well, leaving the forum akshully). i try to log off and receive essentially the same message.

similar issue?

tks

NorioDS ok, will give it a bash, have loom installed.

NorioDS hey there. so, murphy intervened. my logout (perfectly recorded by useloom which is a smashing tool by the way, big ups for the linkup!), went off without a hitch.

i have a feeling the error message i receive comes along when i've been idle in here for a while and then try to log out. i'll try to recreate that situation and post the recording if i receive the error message.

hope i'm not wasting yer time

Hmmm good theory. I've had that happen before with Laravel where the CSRF token expires if I leave a form open and then try use it later. Could very well be what's happening.

I'd appreciate if you could replicate the issue and confirm if that's what's happening. It'll be something I'll pass on to the Flarum dev team to fix. I think they're releasing a new beta in a month or 3.

NorioDS hey man. ok, completely forgot i was logged in, probably a good hour at least. here's a link to the vid: https://www.useloom.com/share/1ff26eb59a164a7a8173c7d9a8035a5d

hope this helps

domhatch Thanks! This was helpful.

I checked the logs and the issue lies somewhere between a "RouteNotFound" exception and a "PermissionDeniedException".

I can't fix it but I think I can offer a workaround until this is fixed.

When you log in, click "Remember Me". That should keep your session alive long enough that when you try log out, it works.

Will you try that over the next few days and let me know if it works? If it does, I'll update the first post with the details of the issue + workaround.

Thanks!

NorioDS no worries. i do use the 'remember me option at login, it's no major inconvenience for me, i just thought it would be something you'd want to know about. :-)

cheers mate, and it's no biggie on my list, the rest of everything is working so splendidly!

domhatch cheers mate, and it's no biggie on my list, the rest of everything is working so splendidly!

Super glad to hear that! ?

domhatch i do use the 'remember me option at login

Hmmm then my next workaround suggestion is to try reloading the tab before logging out. But, yeah, if it's not a biggie then hang in there. I'm sure there'll be a fix coming from the Flarum team in the next 2-3 months. ?

NorioDS ok, never mind. just double-checked. please don't take a hamer (see what i did there- guitar pun.) to me head, but i didn't have the remember me box ticked. have it done now and will let you know again tomorrow if i encounter the same issue

domhatch Quick update, I've logged the bug with Flarum, both on GitHub and on their forums:
