banned from the forums by a glitch

Post by charlinho »

so I replied to a topic yesterday in the testers forums, and according to myrd the post looked like I posted in the year 2034....
and now each time I want to hit reply, it says : You cannot make another post so soon after your last.
So I guess I'm banned until 2034? hehehe

I had to create a new username just to post this here....sigh.... :oops:

any ideas how to fix that?
tried even replying changing my computer clock to 2037 but didn't work...

I think Welly is broken. He has appeared on the list viewing the forums since the day this issue came up. According to the last time he visited on his profile, it was 2034.

that is pretty odd. If it isn't sorted by next week I'll take a look at it. I am busy with my wedding anniversary this weekend ;P

I'm still having issues with this whole 2034 thing. It makes it so some new posts are marked as already read but not all. My profile shows the correct date for my last visit, but the forum main page shows the 2034 date.

EDIT: Nevermind, it must have been saved in a cookie. I decided to log off and log back in. Now it shows the correct time. This should fix my issue I would think. So if you still see the wrong date, do the same same as me.

Thanks Cap :P


Charlinho try logging in from a different browser and see what the results are. I tested out your permissions here on the forum and they seem fine. What browser are you using? If it is firefox try using private browsing mode to force a new session.

Let me know

uh, sorry, tried firefox (I was using safari) and still nothing....
weird....
you probably saw me signed in, I can definitely can sign in and read the forums, I can't reply...
I don't mind being charlinho instead of carlinho, but please give me authorization to get in the testing forums w/charlinho (new username I created) and that would be the same....

& congrats Wazza!!!

This should be fixed now. Updated some info in your database profile. Somehow your last post date was marked with a future date like you mentioned 2034. Weird how that happened either way I set it to match your last visit time so you should be able to post again.

Cheers

I still seem to have some new posts get marked as already read. Could there be some issue with my profile that you can see?
