Anomalies

[french frank]

I'd always thought that usernames/passwords were stored in the browser, Remember Me as a cookie in the forum software (i.e. Remember Me wouldn't retain your username)? If so they would work independently of each other.

I was informed (twice) that I couldn't move from one page to the previous one on the Lost Music Shops thread yesterday - Couldn't connect to server). And my mobile reverted from Latest Activity to Posts (also in forum database). All fine this morning.

The problems I was having seem to have been resolved - thank you, especially for the font size restoration, the space-saving version was proving a bit tiring!

Yep, I got that on both phone and PC. Other websites perfectly OK. After a short time this resolved itself, but I did have to log in again with username and password. All OK today.

Edit: Just seen Andrew's message at #538

Log-in procedure now back to normal!

I also had problems yesterday. In my case I got a rejection message saying 'local host refuses to connect'. I found a way round it by re-entering the Forum and logging back in with my usual password.

I think I've resolved the problem.

I inadvertently changed something yesterday, which affected the cookies for the "What's New" page. I've restored the earlier setting so all should now be OK.

You might need to log out, clear your cookies and log back in, I'm afraid.

This might also resolve the small font issue.

Apologies for the confusion and inconvenience.

Yes, all good here now too. I haven't had time to be online today but yesterday evening the whole way the What's New page was behaving was weird - always bold (unread), even if I'd read new posts. No need at this end to do anything else though. (Cookies, passwords, etc)

Despite logging out and quitting safari (on my Mac), when I opened up again I was still logged in (username showing).
Perhaps some residual uncleared cookies?

Seems to be behaving ok otherwise now though on both iPad and Mac.

That message was my doing, I'm afraid. You probably logged back in after I'd rectified my error.

[Roger Webb]

I was able to log in and read posts, but there was no 'Quote' or 'Flag' bottom right, or 'Write Something' below the Previous 1, 2, etc....I thought I'd been prevented from posting. Leaving it for an hour or so and logging in again all was fine.

My password allowed me to log in at the 2nd attempt.

Myself as well. When I attempt to do a password reset I never get a response to clicking the link

Even weirder!

In Forum view I appear as logged in (and seem to be able to post: we shall see) but if I switch to What's New I get bumped out and asked to login in (but even with Remember me that's unsuccessful).

That's started to happen with me since I changed my password. If you click on a thread or go back to the homepage, you will see that in fact you're still logged in.

We are due to carry out an upgrade soon, so I hope that might help. In the interim I'll clear the cache and see if that makes any difference.

Edit - clearing the cache hasn't resolved the problem.

... clicking on a thread brings up the posts in teeny font size. Both of these happening when I am logged in.

... the same here. I thought I had pressed some button on my computer by mistake, but it only occurs on this Forum : I suppose I'm glad I'm not alone...

Since sometime yesterday morning, the threads briefly show bold and then all go to pale "read" mode.

Since sometime yesterday morning, the threads briefly show bold and then all go to pale "read" mode - even before I've started reading. Also, clicking on a thread brings up the posts in teeny font size. Both of these happening when I am logged in.
