RESOLVED?: Click 'Submit'... go to first page?

I've gotten this twice now, and not sure what's causing it.

I go into quick reply, write up a moderate length post, click submit, and I am IMMEDIATELY redirected to the first post. No post appears, though if I catch that it happens, I can go Back and resubmit, and it works fine.

Anybody else seen this?

Are you typing for so long that you get signed out? That's the only thing I can think of...

Wait. Are you clicking Tab -> Enter to submit your post?

Maybe the tab order is misaligned and is sending focus to the [1] in the page icons at the top?

Sounds weird but that's the only

other

thing I can think of.

Hey, me too; check some other thread in this section (BBcode maybe?) and I said so.

RC: No and no. I click the button, it INSTANTLY jumps to the first page. I almost wonder if it's doing some JavaScript

go.Back()

nonsense?

Firefix 3.6.13 here, on Linux. Xalxe, what browser/OS?

IE 8 on Windows Vista

Must be a universal problem.

Also, I would like to note that it ONLY happens in Help! and Site Ideas (ie the Admin Boards)

However, it oddly doesn't happen in the Title Fairy thread.

Huh. Bizarro.

This is beyond me then. Sorry

A few hours before you started this thread, I found myself mysteriously logged off once or twice while trying to post in Coney Island. At the time, I thought it was my fault, but it could be related.

Just did it in MishMash too.

I'm still thinking it somehow has to do with the cookies not being held for long enough or sessions being dropped.

Mr. Flay · Post Post #12 (ISO) » Mon Jan 31, 2011 1:12 pm

Probably. I haven't gotten it but once or twice, so it's probably a local problem rather than sitewide.

Hot it again, but it didn't send me to the first page - instead went to the hotlink for my last view of the thread. Now I suspect some sort of mouse-interface error (still not much we can do about it).

This might have to do something with the fact that other users can break the preview edit and post BEFORE the last post in the thread if they're quick enough. Seems to be a ~10 second allowance. As if they secure the rights to the post before (like when both people post within a few seconds of each other), and maybe that's when you get kicked to the front page. If you use the back button and post, your post may show up BEFORE the newest post.

Explain this madness.

Come to think of it, this started about the same time our servers got (45s) out of sync. I expect it'll go away now...
