Fast Reply Problems [Archive]

Using the fast reply option, as soon as I go to post I get a message saying I'm not logged in so can't perform that function - and even after logging in again and trying a second time it logs me out and gives me the same message (can do a screen print if necessary).

I'm fine if I use the standard reply, it's just fast reply! I'm still operating on Windows ME and a fairly old browser which doesn't support the latest javascript - is that likely to be the culprit?

Ideas?

Hello.

No, javascript isn't likely to be the problem as you have exsplained it.

As Mattyh said above, try cleaning out your cookies. Don't eat them its not good for you :)

Also get red of website history.

I am at work so i can't really look in to this problem deeply but if it is still like it when i get home, i'll see what i can do for you :thumbs:

Cleared cookies, temporary internet files (inc offline content), history, URL bar and search strings, to no avail.

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted
You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again.

:thinking:

Ah well, I'll stick to standard reply!

Thanks for the help though.

Perhaps You Need To Enable Cookies, So That The Site Knows You Still Logged In?(just Guessing)

Ohh, you could have a good point here. But what i am saying is delete the cookies, not disable them

I Realised That Techno, But Thought Perhaps Lauras Computer Blocked Them

I think it is because my head hasn't seen a pillow in the last, erm lets see.. coming up to 20 hours. DOH DOH DOH!! I have been a sleep though, just in a car at work. But shush, don't tell me boss please :)

No doubt some brain box will be able to help you on here :thumbs:

Its most likely to be Java I think.

The quick edit and quick reply functions use AJAX, which is built around Java.

Even though youre still using Windows ME, can you not upgrade to the latest IE, or even a later version of Firefox?

AJAX has nothing to do with Java, sorry Marcel. It's all Javascript, which while it might sound related, actually has nothing to do with Java :D

Yours,

A Java and Javascript programmer :)

P.S. Sorry ... wouldn't normally say anything, but it's a personal soapbox issue!

botty??

I think Firefox got the most used/quickest brower and most downloads.

Get firefox and see if that helps, It works all the time on mine :thumbs:

Considering how one is made up from the name of the other, it's anything but dumb to assume that. Not to mention the syntax is similar in many ways. Definitely similar enough to sit there scratching your head, trying to work out why the code won't compile when it looks fine, simply because you've got Javascript in there, not Java! :bonk:

Cookies are enabled as far as I'm aware, will double check though.

Can't upgrade to any other browser, computer is shared with my parents and my dad is determined that we use the crappy old btinternet browser, DOH. I'll just have to use standard reply and make sure I don't make any typos :lol:

I'm counting down the days until I can get a laptop...:bonk:

Thanks anyway though!

You can install firefox as a secondary browser, just don't make it the default one. you can use kick-ass firefox and they can use btintnet... everyone's a winner :D

dakid

You don't have to lose one browser to install another non-IE one. They can still use the BT browser unaffected, while you use Firefox :)

Haha, believe me, I've already suggested it. But my dad is remarkably stubborn, even when his logic makes no sense :lol: Don't ask...it's easier just to sit tight and wait until I have my own! It's only 6 months to go....:lol:
