Strange Error Message - Invalid Thread Specified?
 
Twice this morning when I've posted to the "next flyertalker to post..." thread I've gotten the following error message:

Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster


My posts have still gone through.

...and it just happened again when I posted to this forum...

But it let you through when you tried again, right? Have you tried clearing out your browser's temporary internet files/cache and restarting your browser?

I'll check on the vBB forums to see if there's a bug report about it.

I had this same problem several times yesterday.

All in the same forum, or in different ones?

I'll check on the vBB forums to see if there's a bug report about it.

First thing I did after it happened a few times was clear out all the browser temp garbage and restart.

"let me through when you tried again"
Hmmmm.... when it happens again I'll see what happens if I refresh. Like I said, the post still goes through, I just have to click through the menus to get back tot he forum/thread.

It happens intermittently, and it does not appear to be tied to any specific fora.

I'm thinking it could be because I had FT open in 2 windows. Could that have been causing a conflict of some kind?

It could have something to do with cookies and timestamps not synching up between the two windows, but I doubt that would cause your error message.

I have a tech request in with vBB about it. It appears that your error message is turning out to be a fairly common one, as other vBB owners are mentioning it on their board.

Sounds like a known bug then.

Haven't seen it happen since my last post here yesterday. Temporary gremlins. :D
