[solved] Error every time I try to post to the forum
-
Whew, after 1-2 days with no responses, I was beginning to think I was the only one! I use Chrome too, btw. Thanks for your replies.
Now we need the forum admin to join in and investigate.

Shot in the dark - You guys using proxies or squid or anything?

Shot in the dark - You guys using proxies or squid or anything?
Yep:
squi3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.2
dansguardian 2.12.0.3_2 pkg v.0.1.8 (fixed using one of Marcello's binaries)And at first I thought it was related to a dansguardian bug, but I ran into that early on and corrected it. Don't think that's it.
Besides, the forum is HTTPS, not HTTP, and I don't have squid configured to intercept HTTPS. So in my case at least, that rules out proxies. -
I'll wait to see what the others having the problem say before I mark proxy off as a culprit.
-
Yes, Squid3.
-
Apparently not the whole pfsense page is https, according to my security check just now.
Another shot in the dark…. Thats the part having proxy issues.All just guesses.

That looks like the output from 'Bad Behaviour'. Have any of you tried following up the given error code to see why it was rejected?
Looks like:

Stale cache?
-
Just got this. Clicked on the link and it detailed "stale" cookies. Deleted cookies for forum.pfsense.org and…..
Guess it worked.
-
And do you use squid?
-
No squid (I thought I said that but that was in the post before that also bombed out before I fixed it.)
-
I guess I was wrong then - I blame squid for lots of things (-:
-
I do not use snort or a proxy.
I made several "test" replies to this thread and they all worked without error this morning. I then tried replying to several other people's threads, and sometimes it worked, and other times it gave me the usual error. I then cleared all my cookies/cache and made some more replies and even a new thread. I didn't see the error anymore. It might be fixed by clearing the cookies/cache.
I'll post back here if the problem happens again. I wonder if it has something to do with the login page where it asks how many minutes to stay logged in, and also allows the user to check the box that says "always stay logged in".

I had that error many times now when working from home or being at work as my browser syncs settings. Sometimes it hit me at work, sometimes it's at home. Every time I have to completely wipe out any pfsense cookies, close all tabs related and login "fresh" again. Defeats the purpose of staying logged in if the cookie gets "bad" after a few days/weeks.
No, not using Proxies, Squid or whatever. Clean connection. And as I'm running very different OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows) at different locations, it's nothing related to the OS underneath (or like the error says "clean your computer" chuckle).
Also have no forum on my list, where this happens (and a few of them are SMF 2.x).

Any of those other forums running bad behaviour?
Perhaps your browser syncing across several machines is giving trouble. Have you tried other browsers?Steve
-
@Steve You were referring me? If so, yes I also used other browsers (firefox in that case, as I mainly use Chrome synced across Win/Lin/Android) and even a stay-logged-in-Firefox had the same problem once in a while that I had to remove the cookie from its cache.
Last time was a few weeks ago, since then I'm good. Hasn't happen again and I'm hoping it is fixed.
