After we upgraded to YAF 1.9.5.5 we started to reveive an error message when trying to create a new Topic. This worked fine before we upgraded. I did read somewhere about changing you default language back to English (US) but ours is already there.

Is this a known issue? If so is there a fix?

The error is listed below

Thanks,

DPSI

Upgraded to YAF 1.9.5.5 yesterday and we are getting the same error. Was working fine before as well. We are and have been using English(US) as well.

Please help!

Can either one of you provide a way to view this behavior on your site? e.g. the urls of your forum?

Actually we did figure out our problem. The time on our Server was incorrect. We did apply a Daylights savings hotfix to correct the server time but that caused the error to appear even when the time on the server was correct. We had to remove the hotfix and manually set the time, the error then went away.

Hope this helps

My mistake, I spoke too soon. If our server has the Daylights Savings Time hotfix applied then this issues re-appears. It only works without the hotfix. Problem is if we take off the hotfix then our server time keeps changing.

Any suggestions?

Test after changing my Daylight Savings time in THIS forum

And it works.

Hey

I wonder if you could help me with this issue. I am having the same problems, but am very new to YAF so not getting anywhere with a resolution.

What is "Daylights Savings Time hotfix" - is this a hotfix on the webserver itself? Or something to be applied to YAF? I don't have access to the operating system on the server therefore is there a way around this?

Can you give me more information about "Daylight Savings time in THIS forum"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

David

I am refering to a MS hotfix (KB931836) that was applied to our server. It is not a YAF fix or anything like that, but it does affect my ability to create new topics inside YAF. If we remove this hotfix, everything seems to work fine, but we really need to keep this fix on our server.

Hi, I'm working with DPSI on this issue. We have narrowed it down to a 3 second time difference between our database server on SQL 2008R2 and our web server running on a different box. If we fudge the time on the web server by setting it ahead or behind the database server by 1 minute, we can make the issue appear and disappear.

Does YAF.NET use the sql server time for writing timestamps but use the web server time to determine what get's 'returned' by the query/view? Or is it somehow an issue of SQL or the websever treating the write of the new topic to the database and the read to refresh the page asynchronously, and the read is somehow executing before the write completes?

Just a notion - the error occurs when you retrieve post list. The list uses .NET framework UTC time to get posts. It related toa logic.

Yes, YAF uses database utc time extensively and to write the timestamps.

I guess you can try to workaround the issue by passing Framework time to a respective sp which stores a post data. I don't have time to look into it just educated guessing:-d
