I don't know if this has been addressed here, and I could not find it in the search, so I am posting the bug I found:
When I reply to a post not being logged in, then login while on the reply page, before replying, instead of putting username and password in the reply form, then replying and posting (after the page has refreshed with the login), I get the message saying I posted, but instead of refreshing and going back to the forum topic I was in, as usual, I get refreshed to the same page thanking me for the post, in an infinite loop. I can get out by clicking some link, but until I do, I stay locked in the loop.
Cheers!  |

I've seen this bug too and I'm interested in what people know about it. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time looking at it, but it seems there is a problem with a redirect someplace.

I believe this has to do with Norton's Internet Security Firewall program (Do you have this program installed on your PC?). Apparently, it doesn't like the 'HTTP_REFERER'.

Norton's is part of the issue. However, there are other conditions (due to bugs in Snitz or browser settings) where the referrer information does not exist or doesn't get set properly.

This is related to REFER hidden field that exist in most of the html forms. We saw different cases of this behaviour:
1. you fill a form and post (screen-1)
2. the forum displays a confirmation (screen-2)
3. the forum displays a message in infinite loop (screen-3+)
We need to know:
a. Where you come from to screen-1
b. Examine the html code of screen-2
c. Know the exact message in screen-3+
The problem is:
1. the bug pops up occationaly
2. Therefore whenever you recognize that, you are already in step 3 and cannot get the info at (b).
Anyway, any kind of systematic info will help - lets go bug hunting  .

I don't have any Norton products installed on the server. Norton screws up too many things and I forbode it some time ago. There is some problem when setting the referrer variable. This happened to me when I try to reply to a topic and I am not logged in. Then when I get to the reply screen, instead of posting the message entering my login information in the form, I use the fields under the top navigation menu and login. Then I get the infinite loop.
Does this help?
Cheers!

It's weird how some people get errors and strange results and others don't. I have Norton Internet Security 2000 here and never had any redirection problems. Maybe it's partially due to settings/customization?

I was able to capture the code of the redirect page where this error occurs. Since it was long I didn't post it here, but you can see the code here:
http://www.vlsweb.com.br/forum/loopbug.txt
As you can see, if you logon from the post.asp page, you get this infinite loop. A suggestion would be to pass the redirect (referer) variable on with the login form so when a person logs in from this page, the referer won't be changed to post.asp and will be preserved as the initial referer (lets say topic.asp).

Was this ever fixed?
I ran into the problem recently on post_info.asp.

Richard posted to another topic that this bug has been resolved in v3.4 (basically, logging out takes you back to default instead of the page you were on).
