Another possible forum bug (regarding PMs)
Upon sending a personal message, I was, after a not unusual delay, redirected to an error page:
The message appears to have been sent despite the error.General Error
You cannot [or “may not”, “are not allowed to”, et cetera] access this file.
Please contact the administrator [there may have been a “if the problem persists” or “if you have any questions” here].

That doesn’t sound like the verbatim message, but the case is that I cannot reproduce it here. What happens if you send another PM? (Feel free to spam me.)
Was there anything special about the PM? What URL threw that error anyway?

No, it isn’t. It’s the page as best as I can remember it, minus colors (I think it had the first line in red, the other lines in ~#159; typical prosilver light blue background (but it didn’t look like prosilver, more like maybe subsilver); red or green border).shadowmaster wrote:That doesn’t sound like the verbatim message, ...
Done. I got the “your PM was successfully sent” page.shadowmaster wrote:What happens if you send another PM? (Feel free to spam me.)
It had a file attached, which I attached to the PM I sent you (and should probably be deleted once this is over).shadowmaster wrote:Was there anything special about the PM?
I got there from the “Submit” button. (Or do you mean the URL of the error page? I don’t know that.)shadowmaster wrote:What URL threw that error anyway?

...And there’s another possible bug — I didn’t click “Submit” thrice or similar, and the “your post was successfully submitted” page didn’t load (I don’t know the exact error code, but I think it was in the 5xx range, and it felt like 503 or 504).

Nah, error pages used a built-in minimal style..8680 wrote:No, it isn’t.

The error page does not exist on its own and its URL is that of whatever action that failed. I just wanted to know if the Submit URL had been generated wrong or something. Not very important anyway.8680 wrote:I got there from the “Submit” button. (Or do you mean the URL of the error page? I don’t know that.)shadowmaster wrote:What URL threw that error anyway?

According to our logs you actually sent POST requests for this topic at 04:43:32 UTC, 04:44:04 UTC, and 04:44:43 UTC all to the same URL. The database maintenance task I was running at the time might have caused the delay that resulted in the posts being registered with the same timestamp around 04:47 UTC.8680 wrote:...And there’s another possible bug — I didn’t click “Submit” thrice or similar, and the “your post was successfully submitted” page didn’t load (I don’t know the exact error code, but I think it was in the 5xx range, and it felt like 503 or 504).
