Expired Token Errors?

[Darkholme]

I frequently get expired token errors when I go to post something and then everything I was going to post gets erased when I click back.

Could either the textboxes not be cleared on page load, or the token duration be increased? It's really fruistrating having to back up my posts in notepad before I post anything.

I never get this problem. What browser are you using?

Firefox. Newest version.

I get a "could not post: token expired" type error (not word for word) on a regular basis. then i hit the back button, and it pulls up the page, with everything i typed still in the box for like 2 seconds, then it all gets erased. (I actually get to watch the box erase what I was trying to post).

It's maddening. If the page didnt clear out the boxes when I hit the back button it wouldnt be so bad, or if the errors were less common.

It happens most often if I refreshed a page to see new posts instead of going back a couple pages anc clicking links to get back there. But sometimes it does it without me doing that.

Well I am using firefox too and nothing is going wrong here. Try clearing your cache.
What style/theme are you using?

You could try copying your posts to the clipboard before hitting send. That way if it gets erased you could paste it back in.

Ralle, it's not a cache thing, I've been getting this error for months on 2 different OS installs. As for theme, the default.
Pyritie, I do that most of the time, but once in a while I forget, and that's when I lose my gigantic 3 page post.
Actually I just got it again on this post.
"Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired."

How about if you make a small post and then edit it quickly?

I could do it that way, but it's usually an issue if I try to post anything large, or if I refreshed the page. It happens during edits too. If I want to use edits to avoid the issue, I would need to edit it like a dozen times for the really big posts. lol.

It's a time thing. The time they give me just isnt always long enough it seems.

You know, to be honest, the internet is not meant for long posts.


So follow our example: Write short.

*Sigh* I disagree with that statement. Sometimes short posts work, sometimes you need long posts, or even long rants.

I guess that means I just have to put up with the error, since nobody else is having it happen.
