reminds me of the song "This land is your land, this land is my land ...".

issue:  very frequently, but not all the time, I will click "My Posts", between "Edit Profile" and "Sign Out" in the upper right corner of the forums.asp.net window and be taken to what appears to be everybody's posts.

When I click "My Posts" and second time, I actually get Gerry Lowry's posts.

Firefox 3.5.4
Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2

I have the same issue.

Thanks for the head's up.  I have seen this issue as well.  We'll look into it.

This issue seems to occur also in I go from "Edit Profile" to "My Posts"

I noticed that while i'm in edit profile page , if i click on "My psots" link, it redirect me to "http://forums.asp.net/themes/fan/forums/filteredthreadlist.aspx" which seems to be the active posts.

Seems that there is a session loss happening while transferring from http <> https.

Thanks!  These are the kind of observations I am looking for and will go a long way in tracking down the problem.

@ Terri ...... it is my pleasure to help any way I can.

@ anas .... ??? is this normal for session loss in either direction with    http <====> https?

                   (also, is there any easy fix?)

That comes to my mind because session loss may happen if the site is configured to use cookieless session where the sessionid will be preprended in the url and the redirection code doesn't handle that.But it seems that this site is not using cookieless session because i don't see the sessionid in the url.

So now, i think there is another reason.

Sorry for that.

While it may not be a cookieless session issue, you do seem to have zero'd in on how to trigger this.

This link always results in the expected page for me:

http://forums.asp.net/myforums.aspx

while this link (same only with https) always results in a different page for me:

https://forums.asp.net/myforums.aspx

Ok , I see that the problem is that all the links beside "Edit profile" will become https when i go to "edit profile" page.

That's the problem.

Instead the links like "Inbox","My posts" , ... all must stay http instead of becoming https.

Steps:

1: I am logged-in and on Security Forums : http://forums.asp.net/25.aspx

2: I Click Edit Profile on top right corner : https://forums.asp.net/user/EditProfile.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f25.aspx

3: Now when I click My Posts :

I am taken to: http://forums.asp.net/themes/fan/forums/filteredthreadlist.aspx

Instead of: http://forums.asp.net/myforums.aspx

We have a fix for this and should be deploying it at the end of the week (Friday).

Exactly. I just got this problem after I changed my profile.

Terri mentioned that this issue will be fixed by Friday but I see the issue still not fixed till today

And if I remember correctly,the Top Answerers page was also supposed to be fixed by Friday but nothing changed.

Either Terri meant the next Friday or something came up and an updated release rescheduled to another date.

I actually said "should be".  We opted not to deploy anything not related to PDC on the site last week to minimize risk.  

This fix is now deployed to the site.  Please let us know if you continue to see the problem.
