Does anyone else have this, or is it just me?

In writing this post and its replies, I had more than 15 such errors, requiring me to restart my browser twice, and re-post many times.

Something which should take 10 minutes takes an hour, and wastes our time.

I expect the problem is a networking Issue with the C2 forum servers.

E.g. a load balancer not manging sticky sessions correctly, or a load balancer induced loop (happens when the route back is different from the route in)a

My Network and PC are rock solid: I have multiple VPN, ssh and oracle database sessions open all day without issue, and these are VERY sensitive to network glitches.

I noticed the following patterns:

1) If I type quickly (e.g. <2 mins), I usually get the permissions error.

2) If I take time writing the post (e.g. 10 mins), i am more likely to get the session error.

3) Sometimes, I can hit back, and resubmit, but usually I ahve to start from the beginning.

I have the following statistics from the last few days:

Number of posts which worked: 2

Number of attempted posts with error 1): 23

number of attempted posts with error 2): 35

The C2 forum System is broken.

I give up. I have had so many errors when trying to post or reply, that I pronounce these forums dead.

Because posting always fails the first 2 or 3 times, and you have to cut your text, find the post, edit it again, post your old message back in, i just overwrote this huge post I did detailing all the problems with this forum system, and the patterms I have seen, statistics, etc.

I have no more energy to use this broken forum SW.

In summary (once again, I havetyped this about 10 times alreay) there are three errors produced when you try and sumbit a new post or edit an existing one:

1) permissions err:

"Error

Only members with sufficient permission can access this page"

2) session error (when there is nothing wrong with my session)

"The form has not been submitted because there are problems with the form.

Please correct the problem(s) and re-sumbit the form.

The following field(s) need to be corrected:-

WARNING

Your sessions has expired...

"

3) Next to the "update post" or "Post new topic" you get a "connect error occurred" or similar.

I have two Text objects, one is simply a copy and paste of the other. They have two instance variables, myIndex and myValue.

I have set myValue to 0 for both.

I have set myIndex for one to 0, and the other two 1.

So there are two Text objects where myValue = 0.

The problem is how to pick them both.

I have tried many approaches, and all pick the first only.

See this 3 event capx:

I can obviously use a for each etc, but my interpretation of the manual pages, the ones I have used should select all, not the only the first one.

Any recommendations for a way to pick all objects where some condition is true?

ha, it works! nice one.

Thanks for the tips I will try this. Note, I cant use any containers, this will be run on HTML5 in mobile browsers.

I have a function to test all objects, and finding one fail, should return immediately.

Currently I have it like this:

function On "checkAll" : set return value to "TRUE"

--for each ob : call "testMyObject" (ob.myValue)

----function.ReturnValue = 0 : set return value to "FALSE"

                             : return!!!!!!

function On "testMyObject" : do really complicated stuff.

Where I have written return!!!! I just want to end the for loop, as I want to immediately return FALSE as if the test on one failed, the whole test failed. Currently it still loops through the remaining objects, taking a lot of time.

I think I sussed it. Althouth there are no objects in the objects window for the new layout, if you make a sprite from another layer global, you can drag it from the object types window onto the new layer, and it only seems to exist once in the project!

Result, that fixed it! i just cut and pasted from an old project which used to work, didn't realize there was a nice new event!
