Invalid thread when posting.

Hellllllllp (Penelope Pitstop stylee!)

Every so often when I'm posting, when I have clicked the submit post button, the page changes and says something to the effect of Invalid thread specified. This is driving me up the wall, long posts disappearing is annoying and somehow a joke or witty comeback just isnt funny when you've tried to post it for the 5th time! (yes I know that they're prob not funny or witty anyway but humour me!)

So can anyone tell me whats happening...is it my puter(home and work both doing it) or a glitch in the site?

 

Hey,

What browser are you using (and version), OS version, etc.?

I have no idea how that's happening.. Can anyone else reproduce this? I've never heard of that happening before and I'd like to solve it if possible...

 

OK, try that again speaking very slowly ..me..not..speak..geek :tongue:

Ahem, sorry Mister Alien Sir. I am a bear of very little brain (technically speaking) You may have to translate that into very simple terms :nod:

In the mean time, if it happens again I'll write down every little thing it says. Something about contacting the webmaster (oops think I just did )

and thanks for your speedy reply!

 

i will translate :lol: :

are you using internet explorer, netscape, opera, or what? to browse the internet
whatever it is, go to help>about and find the version number there
what operating system (windows/macos/etc), and what version? (windows 98, 2000, xp or macos 9.whatever, macos x)

:tongue:

 

Ah thank you kind sir.
Internet Explorer 6
Windows XP Professional

Does that help?

looking back at it, had I spent longer than 3 seconds thinking about it I think I knew that. Erk. Sorry! :embarass:

 

Theres no problem with mine...

 

Update: Has been working fine for a while (as you may have noticed by my sudden upsurgence!) but it's just happened again. It says "Invalid link specified. If you have followed a valid link (or thread can't remember) please contact the webmaster" Then theres a little link to admin@aliensoup.

Now (fingers crossed) its working fine again!

Any ideas yet Mister Alien?

 

Absolutely NONE.

Are you posting via the quick reply when it happens, or the full reply script (with clickable smilies, etc.)?

 

also, what kind of connection are you on? if your connection is hiccuping during a reply that might do it

 

In answer to both questions:
It happens when using both reply methods.
I'm on broadband constant connection at work and broadband dial up at home. Have just had phone probs at hoe that have been fixed today (yay) so if it was that at home it should stop. When it happened earlier I was at work (yes I know naughty mousefur posting at work...ho hum)

 

hm, well i wouldn't expect it to be connection hiccups if it's happening both at home and at work

HMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm........

 

Cor blimey I can hear that brain whirring from here
