I think I might be losing the plot now but I'm sure that when someone posts a reply to a topic the confirmation reads:

New Reply Posted!

Thank you For your contribution!

Back To Forum

And the page automatically goes back to the Topic in a second or so....?

However it's not happening on my forum and the page just stays at the confirmation

Can anyone shed any light on this ?

Thanks

Yes, it should redirect you, I do vaguely remember thus happening to someone before, will have a dig around in the archives see if I can find anything

I've just done some digging and I have the Referrer Mod installed in inc_header.asp and was wondering if it had anything to do with this code bearing in mind I'm running a separate database server to the one that the files are hosted on ...??


'############### Referer Mod #############
strRefScriptName = "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") 'added by me

If Len(Request.QueryString) > 0 Then
   strRefScriptName = strRefScriptName & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
End If

If StrComp(Session("CurrentPage"),strRefScriptName)<>0 Then
   If (InStr(Session("CurrentPage"),"post_info.asp")=0) and (InStr(Session("CurrentPage"),"post.asp")=0) Then
      Session("LastPage") = Session("CurrentPage")
   End if
   Session("CurrentPage") = chkString(strRefScriptName, "refer")
End If
strReferer = Session("LastPage")

If (InStr(strReferer,"register.asp")<>0) Then
   strReferer = "default.asp"
End If

No. That doesn't interact with the database at all.

most of the previous posts were related to people having things like Norton Internet security installed.

Do you know if this issue is affecting everyone or just you?

It can also be a result of IE's default security settings. If set to "high", it will disable a meta refresh. If you are using Firefox, you'll have to edit the about:config page.

To access it in IE:

Click "Tools"/"Internet Options"/Security
Select "Internet" Zone button (left in upper window)
Change default level to Medium-High vs High

To access it in FF:

Type about:config in browser address bar, hit enter
Click "I'll be careful, I promise" button
Search for "blockautorefresh" (new versions call it "accessibility.blockautorefresh")
Change value to false

Nope, it all seems to be the same regardless which browser I use or which PC or phone

not certain then, when it displays the post_info result can you do a view source on the page to check if it is writing the refresh meta tag

Whilst viewing the source code it refreshed the page after 62 seconds
I reposted and tried again and it was the same - 62 seconds

The pages and database connection are loading fast, so it seems to be just this bit.
Is there a setting on the server relevant to it, or perhaps somewhere in the file?
The server is a Windows 2012 if it helps

That seems to be a case of an improper value, more than anything else. In "post_info.asp", look for something similar to this, just after the bit "Thank you For your contribution!"

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60" />

The value 60 is the number of seconds to wait prior to executing the refresh. Set it to something like 3.

Hmmm , I can't see that in my post_info

I've loaded a txt version of it if you would be so kind to have a look ... post_info.txt

Thanks

You have this?

Response.write "</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""1; URL=" & strReturnURL & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"

         "     <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"

I've just downloaded a new copy of post_info.asp and replaced mine with it to test and there is no difference, the page still hangs for 62 seconds

my guess is that you possibly have some javascript that is interfering with the refresh
