What is the error message you get?

It's all supposed to be fixed, so if you're having problems, I'd like to know.

I pm'd you as well rapman

it cleared up for me. From memory it appeared to be a rendering issue where the board was determining if I had a cookie/session saved or established, if not then assign guest. Changing the url from "http://www.crappie.com" to "http://www.crappie.com/crappie" got around it (my history popped the url and I selected). I was getting it with Google Chrome and noted I didn't get the error with IE.

I'm not able to duplicate the error with either browser at this time.

Jermo, you are spot on. Rapman sent me the specifics of his error message and if was a "duplicate" session manager issue. I looked in the session table and cleared out some records that looked like duplicates. It's not easy to figure out sometimes as there really are hundreds of tables involved with this message board. It's a great systems, but very complex. Thanks all.

And this is actually a user specific (or a couple users) problem, we did have general web server issues that the host has taken care of. We should be all good now on all fronts. The users that seem to have had the problem were at ip addresses starting with 205.188....

One common issue I've found is the Cache feature. Sometimes it will get "stuck". Periodic clearing helps but "shouldn't" be required. Of course once we clear the cache performance will drop until the cache is re-populated. My best guess is that any corruption due to interrupted session is stored for some reason which is then seen as a "hung" session. Since the UID part is missing/corrupt the system assigns "guest" but then failes due to the malformed request being stored.

keep in mind this is pure conjecture based on what I've seen setting up/maintaining boards over the years.

also with it being based on a specific subnet that provider may have a proxy or caching type device in line.
just random thoughts based on the indications and data at hand..

Here is what I get sometimes:

mossession::store failed
DB function failed with error number 1062
Duplicate entry '1-' for key 2 SQL=INSERT INTO jos_session ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest` ) VALUES ( '7d54ddac257658163d7e5247645490d7','1251387816','' ,'0','1' )

Yeah, one night I may have to shut down the board and clean up the whole session table. Seems to be sporadically reappearing. Sorry guys, thanks for your patience.
