Hello there, first of all thanks for the awesome job you guys did on the forums.

I am running a little game clansite with the new version of DNN 4.6.2 and the new forums 4.3.3 and seem to get some errors that makes threads unavailable.

I managed to isolate the problem beeing to the fact that some people takes a long time writing posts and at some point the system simply times out.

So for example to reproduce the error I have, I simple start a new thread...write something, wait 15 minutes and then click the post button. The system then brings me to the login page and I now try to login. After this I can no longer access the thread and i get an general exception error if I try. The thread is still visible in the list but the text and the cells in the forum thread list looks messed up and malplaced. The following errors appear in the event log:

Is there anyway I can remove the bad post through the sql command line thingy, or do I have to do it manually on the SQL server? and how do I prevent this from happening in the future?

 

Kind regards

 

Sebastian

I was wondering if there has been found a solution to this problem, I just notices that this official site has exactly the same problem.
If a user times out while posting, and relogs then the post get's created with userID 0, and that messes up the thread list and the entire thread is inaccesable.

 

Kind Regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for identifying the cause of this error...awesome!

Now to the forum module team; if you folks could, I ask that you please reply with a fix for this issue as soon as you can!

My forums are suffering from this same issue. This error has shut down some of the more active forum subjects and in these subjects, whenever a user tries to access one of the affected/errored threads, they are greated with the default DNN error page.

Is there a fix we can apply?

Thanks,

Bill


Thanks, Bill

Hi,

I tried changing the userID to anything besides 0 but this did not work.

In the end, my forums did start working correctly again, at least until another time out ocurs, after I deleted the non-operational post from the forum posts table.

 


Thanks, Bill

It looks like some cache issue.  what cache setting did you have in module setting and also in the Module defination settings?

Thanks

Matthias
