i just tried to reply to a PM 5 times until i just closed the tab and reopened it and it finally went through.

check my sent messages, no PMs sent.

Had the same problem for a post. I had to write it twice because the message's body got lost after the error message. And had to close the navigator for it to work again.

just count to 12

the server sees everyone as the same user, so it just means someone is trying to post at the same time you are.

just gotta wait for imav to do something about it basically

God damn this is annoying. The trick is to go into Offline mode in the browser then go back to see your post, otherwise the page returns an error and you lose the post.

Quick posting doesn't appear to have this bug.

If everyone is getting the same IP through the firewall or load balancer I would suggest that iMav use the "x-forward-for" header to get the real source IP through the perimeter device and then use that in the forum. Most software would support the "x-forward-for" header without modification.

I got it a couple of minutes ago, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who would be posting on GH.

I've just got to learn to copy my post before I send it, then I can just paste it back in as the text is usually lost when I get the spurious warning message.

I have lost quoted posts, particularly when I was catching up on new Members Saturday night.

And I have lost quoted PMs too.

In both cases where I typed my response under the quote.

Huh. I kept a non-quoted post just now, so maybe it's unrelated.

I dunno when it'll be fixed, but hopefully soon.

This only started happening just recently. I have no idea what was changed if anything at all.
Most of the time my stuff gets saved, but it is really awful when I lose my stuff, especially when on my mobile.

If you're on a desktop hit this and then back, at least on Firefox it retains the text input of the previous page. Otherwise it's super frustrating.

Never had the problem on my phone but only on my desktop. Maybe I was lucky, I don't know.

Fixed.  We did some header modifications to get things logging properly, initially.  However, this was out the window once we swithed to SSL.  We are now logging the correct forwarded client IP.
