Web farm or cluster error?

This is something that's been a little bit of a nuisance for some time so I'm hoping someone might be able to provide a little insight into why this could be happening.

Any time on my website, if I click on any link or action before the page has finished loading I get this error:

I don't have any web farm or cluster and this is not enabled, so I really just don't have a clue why this appears.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Web farm or cluster error?

I suggest to restart the application (in Host :: Host Settings at the bottom)

Hi Sebastian

Thanks for your suggestion, however, this has been happening for months and the application has restarted several times in that period.

Cheers

Re: Web farm or cluster error?

This is still quite a problem.

I'm surprised others haven't noticed it as there have been a couple of sites I've seen it happy on!

Any clues?
