I was replying-with-quote to #16934. I left the window open for something like an hour problably, which might be why the message ID timed out. I went back and resubmitted a couple times and got the same error message, then went back to top and did a normal reply, and it worked. The message I was trying to submit is now there as #22 in the thread.

Subject: Your cookie expired

Ok, so that was milk, but if anything is related, it is cookies and milk. Your cookie had expired, and so the forums didn't let you post. You're just seeing the guts of the mySQL backend that runs the forums when you get that kind of error. I'll look into adding a more meaningful error message once I have a chance to play with that code again.
Trying to use the same session also causes errors such as that - that's when you have a posting window open, surf away, and then surf back. That will make your cookies complain, too. I recommend just copying what you have in the message window, go back to the forum by clicking on the forum or "Top" link above, and restart the posting. Just like you did!
