I have posted on there, but so far no reply. 

I think that's a standard out-of-the-box bug, it happens to us sometimes as well. I also get an error if I'm not logged in but have left the login screen open for any length of time, I have to refresh it before I can proceed.

It's all part of the fun, so they say (if I ever find out who "they" are, there'll be murder committed  )

I sometimes get this error message when posting a comment. Granted, I only get this if I've left the tab open for a LONG time (like several hours when I get sidetracked), and I think when another user has made a comment before I post mine, it will not let me post the comment; I have to copy it and paste it back in when I refresh the page. 

I've just commented on the gallery pic, but yeah absolutely no idea on what the heck that thing is. Ti's not a hurricane lantern, or a dead-flame lamp. It's its own special thing.

I wonder if anyone on CPL would have any idea

I bought this lantern on eBay as it's an interesting little thing of an unknown make and the seller sent me an offer, so the price including postage came to just under twenty quid.! 

That would work 

Well, I wasn't sure...just need to post the best pic first!

That wouldn't be due to this update; don't forget the forum (SMF) and the gallery (Coppermine) are separate programs. Coppermine hasn't been updated, not recently anyway, so I have no idea. It's happened to us once or twice 

I just tried to update a photo and it wouldn't let me. Had to delete and repost. 

The site has today been updated to the latest version of the software 2.1.7. Please let me know if you find any problems.
