getting error message when doing a google search

klpca · Nov 27, 2011

This happened on both my ipad and pc.

I do a google search using the format:

tugbbs: "search terms"

A list of promising links shows up, and when I click on the link, this is the message I get:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/tugbbsc/public_html/forums/includes/cron/session.php
Line: 31

I can work around this by doing a right click and opening in a new tab. Anyone else having this issue? Any way to resolve this? I have always searched this way. It has always worked as expected in the past.

This is how I do it:

"searchterms"site:tugbbs.com

You can do the same thing on TUG when you click on "search" and go to the last choice on the drop down menu.

http://search.tug2.net is also a much easier way.

I knew there was another way but I couldn't do a google search to find out how to do it, haha!

Thanks to both of you.

getting the following when using the TUG search:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 26214400 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/tugbbsc/public_html/forums/search.php on line 1011

When you click on "search", a menu drops down - click on the bottom link: "search TUG via google."

thanks, now getting

also sometimes that drop down box you mention does not appear and it goes to right to the TUG search page.

klpca · Nov 28, 2011

btw, I am still getting the same error message no matter which search method I use, Denise's or Brian's.

I've tried a bunch of Google searches just now and none gave the error message.

Since the error mentions a problem with cookies, try clearing any cookies from tugbbs.com.

As for the other error when using the site's built-in search ("Fatal error: Allowed memory size of XXXXXXX bytes exhausted...") see this entry from the BBS Help area: Search returns fatal error

I tried that with no success. I'm sure it something quirky. I wish I understood computers better but I don't think that's happening any time soon.

thanks for the help though.

its not really possible to get that error using the http://search.tug2.net feature, as it doesnt actually touch the forum site at all, its simply a google search?

Makai Guy · Nov 28, 2011

The reported error is not in doing the google search, but when clicking an a search result link to take them to the referenced TUG page.

Also, since the google search results return results for all of TUG, not just the bbs, try clearing cookies from TUG's other domains also, tug2.net, tug1.net, etc.

klpca · Nov 28, 2011

This is so odd. I am getting the same message when trying to click through on a link to a specific thread even if I didn't put "tugbbs" anywhere in the search. For example, I just searched "how can I rescind a timeshare purchase". This is the link I see - it says "FAQ - Rescinding/Canceling a Timeshare Purchase - (although it is of course, truncated): http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=can%20i%20rescind%20a%20timeshare%20purchase&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CHAQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tugbbs.com%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D74493&ei=7vfTTvP8MsuHsAKkvrWODw&usg=AFQjCNFUs5HrEF6Hf43EUPsH2TDFeQg1Ww&cad=rja

Clicking on that link takes me to the page with the error message. Also, once on the error page, I cannot use the back button to go back to the search page. My open in a new tab trick is not working either. One other thing, the tab says timeshare users group online at the top.

It has happened on four different machines - two PC's (work and home) and also on my Ipad and iphone. I'm pretty sure it started Sunday morning, but it could have been Saturday night. I have cleared cookies on all machines. I get the same message using google search, yahoo search, and Bing when trying to click through to specific messages.I am only concerned that other people are not getting search results that would lead them to the board.

more issues

I also had the same error message pop up this morning.

I was on the Alii Kai Resort review/ratings page in tug and decided to use the link that says: "topics about this resort on tug"

I clicked the link and it took me to a page of results. The first thread that I clicked on said: "Alii Kai resort - should I or shouldn't I" and I clicked on it.

I got the same error message about the cookies, but I also got a pop up from avast that said a malicious url was blocked. Here are the details:

Infection Details
URL: http://motiontool.in/z7qr9azxwujfcnd/
Process: file://C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\...
Infection: al

Am I really the only person who cannot search any topics on tug? It's starting to drive me nuts. I have cleared cookies repeatedly and have no change.

TUGBrian · Nov 29, 2011

odd, i can click on the link above just fine?

have you tried logging off and back on, and or deleting your TUG cookies. definately sounds like an issue browsing to the forum via external links.

Yes - I have logged on and off, and cleared my cookies. no change.

so you don't get the error message when you click on the link in post #13?

TUGBrian · Nov 29, 2011

no, i can click on that link just fine.

i have however been able to reproduce your problem and have sent an email to Doug to look into it.

from what I can tell in my brief google searches on the error is that its some sort of plugin thats no longer functioning properly, but i dont believe we haev installed anything new in ages for this forum.

TUGBrian · Nov 29, 2011

this also appears to possibly be triggered during a backup of the site (which for whatever reason is currently running)

can you confirm this happens to you regularly every time? or just these past few times?

This has happened to me regularly for the past couple of days. I usually use Firefox, but I tried ie and got the same error message.

My husband (techie) replicated the problem on his iPad 2, but using his windows phone & bing, was able to click through a link to the site successfully.

Maybe this is a sign for me to get off of the computer, lol. Thanks for the follow up.

This is the error message I get when going in through Google, I get in by going to a different link.

If you attempt to search while not logged in, there is no dropdown and it just goes to the advanced search dialog, at least that's what I see here.

Experimenting with this today I find I can get this error when trying to go directly to a page on the bbs, only if I do so while NOT logged into the bbs. This could be a link from a search engine result page, or a direct link from some other source, including links in emails.

So as a work-around until we find out what's causing it, if you run into this error, try logging into the bbs, then re-trying your link.

TUGBrian · Nov 29, 2011

and now for me, i no longer have this issue and can click on any links without the error....although ive done nothing to fix it on my end!

artringwald · Nov 29, 2011

I'm still getting the error when I try and go to the site from a link on my Goggle home page, but to work around it, I just cut and paste the address back into the address bar and it displays the site correctly.
