Error when clicking View your posts

[Dragosvr92]

Got this when i clicked the View your posts page of this forums. It dissapeared after i reloaded the page, but i said i'd tell you about it.

Code: Select all

SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Duplicate entry '20e99a5b31fa2a4fc9dc9bb8d52e270b' for key 1 [1062]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

Looking at the error, I'm guessing that error is extremely extremely rare (it appears to be a random checksum used as an ID, dunno what of). Like, rare to the extent that it's probably only happened once or twice. Depends how random it is, though xD

I could be completely wrong, though.

Looks like it might be an SID?

[Dragosvr92]

Might be, idk, check it and see if it can be fixed

How do you fix something that can't be reproduced?
The error is indeed from the sessions table but that's odd it happened at all. What exactly were you doing at the time and are you able to do it again?

Well.. If you know something well enough, you should/may be able to know how it works, like when someone's so previsible that u can predict every move it makes lol Thought you may be able to reproduce it ....

I think i clicked the "View new posts" and "View your posts" pages really fast. Really not sure.

That is certainly not true. I've been working on the same system at my real job for several years now and if a client tells me there is an error and they can't even provide steps on how to reproduce the issue that doesn't help me at all. Knowing the code will simply help me fix the problem faster as I would know exactly where to go in the code to fix the issue, not guess where in the thousands of files we have the error is at. While phpBB is not at that level the same applies.

okay, my bad
