Why <br /> <br /> ??
Shouldn't it be the invisible characters [CRLF] [CRLF] instead?

When did you get this?

Is this the first time, or have you gotten it before?

**Pradeep1210** · Jun 3rd, 2010, 06:23 AM

No I see this quite too often. But just thought of getting it corrected today.

This will come up if page is left idle for a long time (say 24 hours or so). I'm not sure of the exact time for session expire though.

I have my browser set to show the last webpage it was showing when I closed it. So the next day when I open the browser (firefox), and feel like repping someone, reply to post etc. on that page itself, this comes up. After I refresh the page, the message will not appear again.

It's because you're using Firefox and it is showing you a cached page.

Yes, that's right.

But my question was about the <br /> part.

**JPnyc** · Jun 3rd, 2010, 12:18 PM

I'm not sure. It's probably due to a phrase we changed to alter its display elsewhere. Is it really that important?

**Pradeep1210** · Jun 3rd, 2010, 12:32 PM

Not at all!

In fact you can concentrate on more important ones while work on this on least priority basis. Afterall how many people get this box anyways? I think I'm just the first, and that too due to my browser settings and addiction to forums. This is usually the last site I visit before shutting down the system.

Well, if you actuall "shut down" the system, closed your browser, and powered off your machine, then you probably wouldn't get that message either.

Hack needs to borrow one of mendhak's extra eyebolls:

I have my browser set to show the last webpage it was showing when I closed it.

he does close the browser and shut down (I'm assuming) .. .but then whyen the browser is re-opened, it opens the last page that was open...

If he saved the tabs, then when the system is powered up and he re-opens firefox the page displayed is from the cache, so the message would still show.

Fixing that message should be a quick thing to fix, I wonder why JPnyc seems against it. It is a forum bug after all.

If you're using Firefox, you sure will. It's not widely known but Firefox has a real issue when it comes to loading cached pages. I know it because I've been dealing with users on 30 forums for the last five years and it's come up a number of times. As a browser, it's a brilliant marketing job.

Why not set Fire fox to clear the cache when Fire fox closes? Bookmark the important links.

Edit:

Which version of Fire fox are you using?

If I clear the cache, I need to relogin by putting in the userID/password again for each site I visit that requires authentication. Additionally, all sites I visit will take longer to load than it takes now. That's a bigger pain.

Also just as I said in earlier post, I'm really not bothered when this issue is fixed since it is just a string formatting issue and I can understand the meaning of the message very well. It is just that no one had pointed out this error till now. So I just did that, so that it gets into their list of bugs and is fixed some day or the other.

@: Pradeep: I am also using firefox with the same settings that you have. I never log out of VBF and in fact I never even close the tabs. I directly close the FF like you do. Next day when I open the FF, I get my pages back but never have I got that message. Probably because I refresh the page before answering any post... Never tried 'repping' someone the moment I open FF though

**Pradeep1210** · Jun 4th, 2010, 08:18 AM

Next time just click the rep link/image on any post for a test. This box should come up.
Don't worry about accidentally repping a bad post because the site prevents you doing so until you refresh the page

**Siddharth Rout** · Jun 4th, 2010, 09:42 AM

Ok I will try it on JPnyc as he has already got his rep disabled...
