various error messages
 

I seem to get Vbulletin error messages all the time. Some examples are:

1) giving out reputation. Even if I give rep to someone just once, someone Ive never rep'd before the system will tell me that I cant give reputation twice

2) flood control seems to pop up always... but, despite the error message my post gets posted anyway...

3) after I reply (using forward or quote function) to private messages, I also get flood control...

Ive tried flushing my IE and FT cookies.... but this is still going on. I am now using a rather slow dial-up connection to the internet from Jakarta, is this perhaps the culprit?

Many thanks... ^

BTW, I also get these weird messages when I start a new thread....

Yes, it could be your connection... all your symptoms above seem to be cookie and/or cache related.

How about "invalid thread specified. if you think there's an issue contact the webmaster" error message? has happened to me everytime i make a post in a thread (not when creating a new thread).

Okay it happened when i posted the first time. the message actually reads...

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

any ideas?

Thanks for reminding me... ^ The above error is also on my list of weird messages... :confused:

If those errors happen repeatedly, try clearing out your cache and cookies and restarting the browser. If it still errors as much, try a different browser and if possible, a different connection (from work, home, etc).

Although we have heard about these errors popping up occasionally, and haven't found a definitive cause yet on the vBB boards, if it's happening all the time to you, it could be your connection.

Dan, it was the connection. I have access to a decent quasi-broadband connection now and the issues have gone away. Thanks again.
