Site Glitches

[Anna]

Just wanted to give people an update on a few minor problems we're dealing with on the site.

Posting Issues

- If you have the forum open in multiple tabs while posting you may get an error that reads
"Invalid request token / possible request forgery". Proboards is working on a fix for this but it may be a while.
((If you get this error without the forum open in multiple tabs, please take a screenshot if you can & contact Anna.))

- Another post error results in the message "You must provide a message." popping up when you try to post, even though you already have a message. This is a problem with one of the plugins we have to use. The plugin creator is also working on a fix for this.


Unfortunately, both of these errors can result in your entire post being erased.
***Try to remember to copy(as in copy/paste) your post before you submit it.***
That way if it does happen, you won't be stuck writing it again.



Galleons in Mobile

Our monetary system is the result of a plugin, and plugins do not work on the mobile version of the site. If you are on your phone you will need to switch to the desktop version(the option is in the bottom right corner) for galleons to be awarded.

So I just lost my post.
Have you guys heard of Lazarus Form Recovery? It saves the contents of textboxes for just this reason. Here's the links:
- Lazarus for Firefox
- Lazarus for Chrome

When something bad happens, you just right click the textbox, choose lazarus, and tell it to put back what was eaten. I'm going to put lazarus on my browser so it doesn't happen again.

It's so frustrating to lose posts! Thank you for sharing Lazarus; I hadn't heard of it before but it seems very, very nifty.
