Annoying Little Bug Needs Squashing

1. Annoying Little Bug Needs Squashing

   #1

   Ok. I tried to post in a forum post today that val started about needing to post larger images and this is the bug I kept getting. I had to go and resubmit my comment seven times before it worked and then tried to edit it and got the same error. Edited it again three more times and it worked. I did nothing different each time I submitted the post it just randomly worked and randomly gave me the error message.
   
   Error 403

   It did it again trying to reply to Kevin Cook's post using the Quote tags... am I the only one getting this error?

   No. I received this exact error earlier this week (or maybe last week). You can solve it by:
   
   1) Logging out of the Citadel.
   2) Clearing your internet cache. This includes cookies for the Citadel.
   3) Logging back in.
   
   The issue as I determined it from looking at basic error messages was that the session entries on the server have been wiped, which invalidates our perma-login cookies. We still show up as logged in to the site, but posting makes some backend authentication fail. Strolen probably has more information about what exactly is going on.

   When I read through some troubleshooting forums it seems like it is coming from a spam filtering mod I installed.
   
   Your account threw about 10 errors today and yesterday so am removing the mod that it lists as the issue. Hopefully it won't happen again!

   What errors is it sending? Do I need to remove something on my end? It may be telling me I have some bug I need to get rid of.

   Errors associated with the mod. Every time you had that error, it was logged to the forum error log.
   
   No big deal at all and nothing you can or should do about it. I am fairly certain it was completely on this end. If it does happen again, there is still another thing it might be...just let me know if you see it. I will take a look at the logs a little more often too.
   
   Thanks for reporting it!
