Lack of postings due to ERROR!
« on: September 29, 2016, 09:41:13 PM »

I really would post here a lot more if I didn't continually get ERROR message and then have to clear my sodding cache!!!

Change browsers.

Hey!  Just tried this at home with Opera and it worked.  Still annoying as all get out.

I've been able to post from work but at home with Chrome I'm plagued by the WEBMA5TER error.

Of course maybe Opera won't work for me after a couple of posts like Chrome always does...

I don't recall ever seeing this message on here. I use Chrome and, this week, I'm accessing the 'net through a steam driven driven dongle, here in far-flung Aswan! When we're "at home" in Luxor, our internet is through Egypt's steam driven national telephone lines, again with Chrome, but again, never an ERROR message. I'm also using a second-hand lap-top which, recently, seems to have caught a cold (if not a full-blown virus) as some rather strange things are going on with it. But still no ERROR messages, thank Heaven!

It does seem very strange, as my technophobia knows no bounds and, really, I should be a prime candidate for this sort of nonsense!

It may be a red herring but I can't use Chrome or Iron unless I switch off Windows defender, which unfortunately is programmed to switch itself back on.
Firefox works at the moment.

I get the error fairly frequently on Chrome, Firefox, OS X, W10.

Mostly when I get the error I press the browser back button, copy my text, reload the page, and paste'n'post, trhis is usually successful but still a PITA.

I've not seen this error myself for a long time.  I use both chrome and Firefox on mac iPhone and iPad. I don't use any windows machines.  I can't help thinking that if it crops up occasionally for others using the same hardware and software that there nust be some subtle machine specific thing that is triggering the error.

In the past when the error did occur for me I found that a long term fix was to go through these steps:

Clear browser history including cookies
Shut down computer and anything else connected to my wifi
Shut down wifi router
Wait 5 minutes
Re-start router
Restart computer

I know that sounds like an even bigger pita, but it's my only suggestion.

I get regular "access denied" messages posing from a static wired iMac, but NOT from pad or from a PC. Cure is to sign out, then sign back in and repost

All very weird, but that doesn't make it "right". Would love a cure.  A previous problem turned out to be that the browser was operating in "private mode" and as such would destroy melne's cookie data. So do check that out

Via Chrome, I use both Ghostery and Kaspersky to block tracker sites, and while I get lots of them blocked for things like facebook and internet banking, melnet never shows any such at all.  (Clearly the big American private data mis-users have yet to appreciate the huge market represented by melnet!)  So I would have imagined that using 'private mode' shouldn't make much difference.

I rarely or never have this problem with Chrome or Firefox on Windows or Linux, but have had problems quite frequently on Android devices.

Used to do that, but in my experience pressing "back" the form still has one's words of wisdom in the text box. However that might be browser or settings dependent. And wqould probably change if the forum ever moves to https protocols

seems that 'back' button has been disabled because of security issues, don't know if it's a chrome thing?

I've been using Chrome for ages - currently with Windows 10 - and never seen the error message under discussion. Chrome has always worked like silk for me.....

I get it a lot on Mac but had it too on PC.
I usually just give up as the whole clear cache thing is a PITA but also interferes with other things.
I'm unable to discern a pattern. Do nothing and come back next day seems to work as often as other things.

If you are using Chrome cut and paste this link - chrome://settings/cookies into your address bar and it will open a dialogue box in which you can delete the cookies for individual sites, enter 'melodeon' in the Search Cookies box and just delete the melnet cookies.
