I have had this message pop up a couple different times tonight, any idea why?

---

I have no idea what what would mean Preston.  Has something to do with your personal favorites.

Yeah sorry, forgot to mention that.  This probably has only happened when I select the favorites box at the bottom.  I never really utilized that option, but I now have use for it.  It kinda messed me up last night because I went to post something, got the error message, backed up, re-posted, got the message again, and then 1 more time.  I finally just gave up and then when I went back to the home screen it showed that I posted the same thing 3 times.  Weird.

Preston,

This is an issue with the YaBB software.  Looking into applying a fix....The first attemp was an epic fail.  I'll let you know when we think we have this fixed.

Sounds superb Tom, thanks.

Preston,

Still investigating.  Can you provide the following.  Your...

Do you use 'Notifcations' ?

 Firefox, whatever the most current one is, damn thing always automatically updates on me  ;)  I think 9.0.1

Java version.

 Java 6 update 29 ( does that make any sense?)

 Yes, and the only time this error message has occurred is when the thread is checked for "get notification" and "favorites"

Hope I got you the info you needed correct.

Preston,

Thank you for the specifics.  Been working with Jon Baker to run this down.  He is our resident server geek we hired that helped us recover from the Earthlink disaster last year.

OK, here is the deal.  If you press the favorites button and then follow that up with the notifications button without refreshing the page and then post, you get the error.  It still posts but you get the error.  A very narrow sequence of things cause this so we had some difficulty reproducing the error.  Your additional info was very helpful.

So, like when you tell the doctor it hurts when you do this and the doc says then don't do that.....For now I am telling you not to do that.  Instead, refresh the page after each selection.

This is the work around for now.

But...this got Jon and I talking again about a major forums upgrade with some cool new features we think would really enhance the experience here.  So....look forward to this happening in the near future.  During that process the forums may go into maintenance mode for a bit.  We will announce it before the upgrade begins.  The best way to make this happen is to just turn Jon loose on it.  This is a good thing to invest in though....Like in the last Newzletter....The Autonerdz investment portfolio is our Picogroup members....

 If only I could tell some of my customers the same statement when it comes to there 50 year old P.O.S.'s, ha ha ha.  Yeah, I saw Jon messing around with it last night on the test board, figured you all were up to something.  No worries, I can do it the way you say, looking forward to the improvements!  ( I can't imagine that it gets better )  ;)
