Login Issues Thread

[Qazme]

Is there a reason that it's not saving the read and un-read threads anymore? Or updating my subscribed threads? Not to mention when I log-in to the main page it works perfectly until I close my browser and come back the next day. Then I'm logged out of the forums but still in the front page, and when I try to log into the forums I can't. I have to back out to the front page log out and then log back in, but then the other problems are still there.

Seems like a waste just to be able to use an app. Really making me not like this site anymore....it makes it to hard to follow up on, on going discussions.

FINALLY works for me

Forum still not working right for me. My site login is fine. But every time I come back to the forum I have to login. Sometimes I have to login several times before it will "stick". Occasionally I need to login again as I move around in the forums.

Yes, I've logged out of the site, cleared cookies and cache, etc.

 

[Qazme]

I can login to the forums now, and I have a complete subscription screen again in the CP!! Don't touch anything!

 

[azjerry]

Well good news and bad news. Site has been working correctly at work using Firefox. I still have to periodically login to the forums using Firefox at home, however. Yes I cleared my cookies and cache and restart FF but no joy.

My login issues are fixed using chrome, but still no notifications...bummed

I'm getting a real weird one. I can logon, close the site and come back, still logged on. Check.

But anywhere in the forums, if I use the"back" button in Firefox, I get logged out on the page I'm returning to. Forward button back to where I was, and I'm still logged out.

Wait, it gets weirder. If I hit the refresh button, I'm logged in again.

Edit: Please disregard report. Just checked, and this is happening on some other websites too. Must be a local Firefox issue for me, probably a recently updated extension.

Later Edit: In case it helps anyone else: culprit appears to be the 3/30/10 update of Firefox extension "Invisible Hand". Other users of this extension are reporting the same issue.

I've made another tweak to the login system here - it should now be fully divorced from the front page login system (except that your usernames and passwords are synced).

Please try clearing you cookies and seeing if your forum login works now. Very sorry for the hassles!

Ok, so my closed post here <- may be unrelated to this thread (or maybe it is, please, educate me), but since I've been redirected here. I will post it here...

My website and not A/C, has suddenly stopped remembering my login and PW credentials (I don't log into A/C from my phone ever) . I've gone through all the settings again, thinking I may have missed something and cannot find a fix for it. Cookies? Saved PW field? Something else?

I still maintain it's something I did during one of those "sitting there with nothing to do" moments....

Can anyone guide me on resolving this issue. I'm on my website at least 25 times per day.

Sadly,

It appears as though your thread was closed for the wrong reason. Your post is referencing issues logging into another site and having the information remembered while this thread is in reference to log in related issues to Android Central. Hopefully the thread can be opened again, and someone will help find a solution for remembering your password on device.

 

[Mr Mayor]

That's what I tried to tell 'em. My PM is so far unanswered, and I'm afraid my post will be a little more un-noticed here, especially since "that" problem is fixed.....

Guys, the mod team reads and filters through thousands of posts each day. Sometimes (actually rarely) posts, such as the one described above, get closed because they are interpreted incorrectly. If this happens, please send myself or the person that closed it a PM, and we will take care of it at our earliest opportunity.

Could not have said it better myself. Also something to keep in mind, we (Cory and myself) volunteer to do this on our own time and personally I deal with the forums over at TiPb and write. Now throw in 30 or so PM's a day and things don't happen over night and some things take a higher priority.

That being said, at some point today it will get looked at.

 

[Mr Mayor]

Gentlemen, my post wasn't meant to offend. Sorry if you interpreted it that way. I too have been guilty of prematurely closing a topic or two on my sites (now, site). Spreading myself too thin was my cause.

I personally appreciate the time and effort put into such a busy site, and genuinely thanku for your efforts..

PS, Cory unlocked the post for me, thanku!

I am still having logging issues.
Every few hrs now it's saying welcome on the home screen but then I have to log out and log back in to post on the forums.
It is only here and not on other website of the smartphone group.

We can not recreate the issue and no one else is suffering from it as well (at least not reporting it). Try a different browser and see if that solves your issues.

I am trying.
I have two machines both doing the same thing.
I will try in IE or FF.

Sorry to be a PITA.

Not a PITA, just have no answer for you. If a ton of people had the same issue it may be easier to find the cause.

 

[Qazme]

For whatever it's worth I've had no problems on any device I'm using. Computer or mobile now staying logged in etc. I also use a mix of IE,FF, and Chrome and none of them seem to be having an issue.

 

[NeveSSL]

Can anyone please tell me why I can log into the forum using the log in right above the "Quick Links", but no where else?

I can't log in at the home page and cannot log in through any other log in page. This is also preventing me from changing my password because it has me log in through the home page to do so.

And yep, I've cleared cookies and cache. I've also tried in FireFox as well as IE. Same results with both and I have never logged into or even looked at Android Central in IE.

Any thoughts?
