Problem posting on board with FF

Mav — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:21:30 GMT

Not exactly sure where to post this so perhaps a mod could move it to a more appropriate place.
Basically I'm having trouble posting/replying with FF.
I constantly get the following error message:

Quote
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

I get the same message when I attempt to logout.
It started off when I tried to post a reply and I got the message :

Quote
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message.

The reply window had only been open about 3 minutes and I know I have taken longer previously.
The problem has now appeared in IE. This was sent using Chrome (It did take two attempts).
Anyone else met with this and solved it?

So it's not just me.
Still using Chrome.
Clicking on Quote brought up the error when opening the relevant but clicking on reply didn't.

Sorry, can't even modify now. Wanted to add that it is taking two attempt to actually post in Chrome.

This is probably something to do with the forum maintenance earlier today, going to see if I can figure out what's going on.

Sorry, Jim, didn't think of looking in this forum

I've raised an internal problem on this. I've also told the CSC to be alert for people reporting this issue and that they should call out if necessary.

How's it working for you all now? The issue appeared to be the upgraded servers, these have been removed from the load balancers so whilst we are running on reduced resiliency you should stop seeing the session problems.
