Hi Guys

Please Check into this. When i post something (go preview/submit), it occasionally goes into login page again.

This happens to most of the times.

I'm logged in. I write my post. I submit the post. Login page comes up. I login. I go back and my post is usually still there so I submit the post again and then it works. But I try to copy the whole post beforehand as a safety measure if I can.

I copy my posts every time I submit. This is after losing posts more times than I can count. Super frustrating. I try to copy while I'm writing posts too.

Fellas,

Chase and I are aware of this bug, and Chase's programmer has been attempting to track it down for several weeks now. I'll ping Chase again and see what the status of this is -- it's happening to everyone (including Chase and myself), so we are definitely aware how annoying it is!

For now, the best method is to copy your post to a text file before hitting the "Submit" button just to make sure you don't lose your text! Then you can re-paste it into a new post if you have to login again.

Sorry about the trouble, guys!

- Franco

Apologies guys.

We were investigating this for a few weeks. Our developer was having trouble replicating the issue but we think we've got it figured out.

Seems to be a session issue due to load balancing. i.e., when the server is under heavier strain and the load balancers bring other servers online, you click a link and it loads on a different server. That's fine on GC proper, since sessions there are recorded in the database. But the forum wasn't doing that and was instead saving sessions to the server, which means when you get load balanced to another server, the new server thinks you're logged out and your session is lost.

(tl;dr you get logged out when the system is load balancing)

I thought Anil had added some code to save sessions to the database and fixed this issue a few days ago. I'll let him know it's still going on when he's back online later today.
