message 42 means your IP address changed between loading/caching the original page, and when you actually submitted the form. Not sure how that actually happens, unless you use some weird proxy or your ISP changes your address under you. 

I was using a South African connection with "bit defender" on it.

It has three settings of security. The top setting disables things like:

logging in to email
posting on func

So I had to turn it down a notch to the middle setting which was much better.

A lot of people are ignorant. One example of the type of ignorannce of which I speak is:

Going into multiple TV shops where XBox 360's and PS3's are on display for public to try, and finding the consoles are set to 480p on 720p and 1080p monitors. What a waste! 

You didn't reply when I posted this in tf so here it is again:

How about masking at least one part of the IP addresses? 123.xxx.123.123 or even 123.xxx.xxx.123 would still fully serve the purpose of identifying people (well, if it is possible at all, with dynamic IPs etc). But it would give a bit of privacy towards search engine data mining collecting investigating following crazy tinfoil-hat stuff. 

 

yeah, with our ip numbers, someone could begin hacking us! 

not sure what the threat is for IP address mining... i mean, i guess people can figure out what country you live in, but that's about it...

and there is a small benefit that people think they can't be totally anonymous when posting bullshit.

It worked!

When trying to submit a reply in mapping help, I got the following error:

ERROR: Error message number 55

http://www.celephais.net/board/error_nojavascript.php

I'm currently using google chrome as my browser, which might be the cause, but this is the first of quite a few posts which has given such an error. Going back one page and then re-submitting the post worked without a problem. 

preach: that should only happen if you have javascript enabled, yet, that should also prevent the form from being submitted in the first place. So, not sure how it happened but i'll check out chrome. 

if you have javascript enabled

disabled 

To be honest it's probably just the browser doing something idiotic, it's beta-quality at best. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. 

When replying to a fully loaded thread, just load the last 50 after submitting. Sounds like a quick fix and everybody wins (faster load for the user and less load for the server).

It happens sometimes, just reload the page and it vanishes away :) 

Or leave it for a bit and then reload the page. Spam reloading it will generate more connections and therefore probably cause the problem to occur longer (I was getting it as well, hence the GA post being the half post I wrote before copying to a text file and making dinner).
