Re: test

Are you trying to post on a locked thread, by any chance? If you were, I don't what error msg you would get.
* Credit is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. * Who's the boss --you or your credit?

No, new msg, just tried again, failed. Get this-
 
The link you clicked is requesting an operation that requires
authentication, but the authentication failed.
There are five main reasons this may happen:
1) The link you clicked on was not generated for you, but was
intended only for someone else's use to perform an action on their
account. If the other person pasted such a link into a message
body or you were re-directed to such a link from another link you
clicked, the authentication will fail and you will arrive here
instead.
2) The link was valid for you, but your authentication ticket has
expired. In this case, if you hit the back button in your browser,
then refresh the page containing the link you clicked on, you will
get a fresh ticket and then if you click on the link again it will
work.
3) Your browser session may have expired. In this case, if you hit
the back button in your browser, then refresh the page containing
the link you clicked on, you will get a fresh ticket and then if
you click on the link again it will work.
4) Your browser may be set to not accept session cookies (or the
cookie may have been deleted, or you may have been prompted and
refused the cookie), in this case you should modify your browser
settings to accept session cookies, and/or accept the session
cookie if you are prompted, in order to use this site.
5) Your browser arrived at this location from someplace other than
this site (an external link or site), or your browser or security
software may be set to not send referrer information, in this case
you should use the links on this site itself or verify that your
browser or security software settings allow sending referrer
information, in order to use this site.

Re: test

Well, that's a stumper. Does the solution on #2 and #3 (back arrow on browser and then refresh) work? No, never mind, that looks like it's for trying to reply or something.

Log out, and log back in?

It doesn't make sense that you can post here, but not there.

Yep. Tried everything, even rebooted. Just tried again to post in Gen Credit Issues, got same msg.

Success. Don't know what the snafu was, did not do anything different, but was able to post new msg.

Re: test

I have a theory.. It probably was related to the cookie for your session. Chances are the cookie expired while you were on the forums and it just took a while to refresh. I'm not entirely sure that's the case, so if anyone runs into that issue again, please let me know!
