Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again.

I assume it is. Probably short sessions times set by sourceforge. Anyways, the next SMF version won't actually lose any data when the session timed out, but just show an error and allow you to re-submit.

Thanks, that sounds great.

The problem is that SMF uses cookies and IE doesn't work well with them.  Sorry, this is unavoidable.

As far as big sites, I have said this three times to you now, as sites grow more popular they are garbage collected more often causing more of these problems.  I strongly recommend you increase the value of session.gc_max_lifetime and make sure everyone having the problem completely clears out their old cookies and cache.  You may also wish to set the cookie stuff in php.ini, like the path and domain.

and how do we do that ? i am not the php programer here

i am using 1.1.2  and all the browsers have the same issue

the cache was cleared...    I think you guys try to make this problems as a browser problem, but that would be a SMF problem  , no good answers yet about this problem

sirius, I'm going through old unresolved topics. Do you still need help with this?

I have the same annoyance... I am trying to post a huge file (11MB) as an attachment, and I have extended the limits in the php.ini, like this:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 90     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 120   ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)


also I configured SMF to accept attachments up to 20MB each for a total of max 25MB, but this session timeout error is preventing me to attach the file.

cleoni, how about the upload_max_filesize? Did you bump that to 20MB as well? Doing so on the SMF side while on the PHP side it's limiting you to only about 2MB won't help

sirius, is the problem resolved? Have you tried increasing that value that Unknown mentioned?

I resolved the issue by extending upload_max_filesize to 20MB

AND

extending PHP's post_max_size to value that's 22MB


upload_max_filesize was the first setting I looked at, but I ignored that  post_max_size was important too!

so... it can be done!

cheers!
