Starlight/Silverlight Error when posting on threads?

[golfgal]

Does anyone else get this? Sometimes when I post I will get a "Starlight" error and a bunch of other "stuff". If I hit the back button and resubmit it comes up with the "this is a duplicate of a previous post..." so it posts, just sends up this error code.

Yes, I know we have a tech board but no one ever goes there.

I had no problem posting this morning.

Do you mean "Silverlight"? I've never heard of "Starlight" in a web context.

The specific error messages would help with diagnosis.

Possibly--I will check next time I get one. I have gotten it twice today already.

Some of the embedded banner advertising could be making use of Silverlight, to animate the ads. It is possible that transgressive code used by an advertiser could interfere with normal functioning of vBulletin forum code.

So most likely a board issue and not a "my computer" issue.

Well, most likely neither. Most likely it is an advertiser issue. However, more to the point, if it is indeed a Silverlight error, it does seem less likely (though not impossible) that the problem is caused by some adware your computer has acquired.
