Executed a search for posts by a username, no other crieteria.
Clicked on the name of a thread in the resulting list
got the following error:
Parse error: parse error in global.php on line 523
went back (browser back button) and
Clicked on the name of a forum in the list instead
got the same error.
Took a look at the query strings that were being passed to the server and they looked OK to me.
Has this problem been spotted before?
I tried to do another search, using words from the error message, to see if this error had been posted before, but I got lots and lots of threads back in the list that clearly did not contain these words. Very strange.
The answer is obvious: there was a grammatical error (“parse error”) in the post mentioned by the OP, and the SDMB supercomputer, with automatic grammar-checking software, would not accept it for posting.
Why do you think the grammar police are all over people who regularly make grammatical errors? It’s not a sense of aesthetics; they’re protecting your right to post!!
One more thing, Tuba. When I was trying to post earlier, it said that my username wasn’t cookied (which it is on this computer) and it made me login a few times. It ended up not letting me post, but then I closed out and came back and all was fine.
