Title: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: SysAdmin on October 02, 2013, 08:32:51 PM
Anyone having logging in issues on Amiga.org after the hosting company did some routine maintenance earlier this week? If you are you can get around this by clicking remember me. We are trying to find out how wide spread of an issue this is so the hosting company can fix the problem.

I noticed the site has been having issues for about three days now....  Only once yesterday did I notice the logon issue but it seemed to go away... Actually what seems to be happening is that you appear to be logged on... when you hit the post button you are then knocked off. When you log back on your post will be there.

Hosting company is investigating this since we didn't change anything. Hopefully it gets figured out soon. It's a strange issue that some members are experiencing.

For one day (I don't remember which) I could get on but the logo wasn't showing and I got "access denied" on everything I tried.

Works like a charm now.

I had a devil of a time getting on Tuesday (I believe). Even your "remember me" trick didn't work. Today all seems OK.

Logging in from the main page does not work... Well it lets me, says thanks for logging in then if I go to reply or post it says not logged in.

If I try and reply to a thread and then login it lets me, but once I reply once I'm apparently not logged in anymore...

This appears to be fixed now, anyone still having issues? If you are still having problems  please clear your local DNS and browser cache and try again.

I wasn't being nasty of anything so no need for apologies. ;)

When I log in on home page it accepts log in but then when it goes back to home page it says I'm not logged in.

When I select 50 Latest Posts it says I AM logged in (at top right I'm talking about)

When I go back to home page again it says I'm not logged in.

Then if I click on 50 Latest Posts again it says I am logged in.

Edit : Interestingly after posting this reply it doesn't show up on the home page at the top like it should...(also says I'm not logged in at top as usual). Then when I click on 50 Latest Posts my post appears at the top where it should be - until I click on home again where it disappears. Weird eh?? LOL.

I wasn't seeing this problem as I don't log in very often -- until now that is then it kicked me out and I had to log in again -- however, before this I was seeing an issue where the threads were in bold indicating they were unread and then they were not indicating they had been read. I'm not talking one or two but all off them, even the ones I haven't read. This is occurring even when I visit on a computer where I haven't logged in a long while. Like before this problem even started. :) I'm assuming these are related to the log in issue...

We have continued to report problem to Hosting provider for problem resolution.

Post by: A6000 on October 03, 2013, 11:56:21 PM
Yes, I am having problems as well, I am listed as logged in but the home page does not "welcome" me, if I click to reply to post, then I can, but the only other indication I have that I am logged in is when I click on a picture then it is as normal until I return to the home page where it looks looks like I am not logged in.

@SysAdmin:

I dont know your level of expertise in debugging vB, but since you own AO, it would be good to get paid support with vB.   I have it for another site I maintain and they are good at responding to issues we've had.

Good suggestion, I don't mind doing that. If you select remember me it should resolve your issues if you still have them.

I think the problem with the site server is an "out of balance" PROXY...... (extropia).....

How annoying. I'm getting it too.

Wow. Really weird. I logged in. It gave the standard welcome but nothing was showing that I had logged in.

But then I posted this message and viola, I'm logged in.

Still? Did you flush your Amiga.org cookies then ask the site to "Remember me"? I want this problem resolved. Don't want members to have login issues. I've asked Karlos to look into this problem too.
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: bigmac on October 05, 2013, 11:32:56 AM
Very strange I have flushed caches and cant even see "Remember Me" and still no joy hope its fixed soon
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: paul1981 on October 05, 2013, 12:59:49 PM
Still same issues as reported by me on Page 1.
I don't use Remember Me/Password Manager....never have done, never will do. But my browsing history is regularly cleared and have never had this problem before last weekend.
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: AJCopland on October 05, 2013, 01:00:02 PM
I can't login at all via the main pages quick login in the top right.
I can only login if I reply to a thread, login and choose the "remember me" option.

Mildly annoying but easy enough to get around, I guess I'll just be commenting a lot more than usual :)
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?

Same issues than AJCopland, but i dont use "remember me" or any password manager and i clear all my browse cache often, a bit unusable.

Post by: billt on October 06, 2013, 01:49:39 AM
I'm getting weird website reaction to my logging in. If I'm at home page and login, it thanks me for logging in (which does nto happen if I type passwd wrong - then I get bad login message), but after thanking for login it takes me back to home page as if I was not logged in. Still has the login fields to fill in. So I think it didn't work. But if I go to a forum topic, at some point it starts showing my name as logged in, and I'm obviously posting this just now. But it's very weird.

How come some users seem to be loggin and posting away happily while others clearly still can't logon? The only way I'm able to post is thru the proxy server (on IBrowse no less!). I've tried all the usuall cache tricks on mac, a pc and the Amiga using http://www.amiga.org. Any word on a fix yet?
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: giZmo350 on October 06, 2013, 06:05:32 PM
I was just now able to post to http://www.amiga.org from the Mac after I logged on to the proxy from iBrowse on the Amiga. Strange.

I can't log in from the main page. More acurately I don't stay logged in. It says I'm in, then forgets who I am. 3 different browsers, caches cleared.

If I click reply to post, I'm prompted for a log in again and then allowed to post.

I am having the same log in problem to. Takes about five attempts, despite it stating "Thank you for logging in" before I see my details at the top of the page. Been like this for about a week now.

Edit.

Just posted this and it logged me out.

FYI. Not the same issue but Important if moving to 4.x 5.x VBulletin, dangerous exploit....

For the TL;DR crowd:

* Delete /core/install and /install directory in all 4.x and 5.x vBulletin installs or block access to same. Do it now.

I just need glue. Every post looks brand new. I read all of them. (Yesterday I ruined a motherboard. I had extra one. I redid it. I don't have many cookies.) It suggested to delete all the cookies. How can a computer that just got a new installation have cookies? :roflmao:

On Firefox 25 for Android I can log in and post comments.
On Firefox 25 for Linux I log in and it says that I am logged in until I click on a post and it shows that I am not logged in.  It doesn't even create a cookie.

Just to add a positive view.
Auto login fine on Phone, Tablet and PC. All running Windows and IE.
Title: Re: Amiga.org logging in issues?
Post by: nicholas on October 31, 2013, 11:48:29 PM
Chrome for Android works too.

Well I say "works" but both Chrome and Firefox have a weird issue.

I login and it says welcome Nicholas etc then it shows me the homepage and it appears that I'm not logged in, but when I click on posts I am actually logged in.

If it's any consolation Morphzone is having the same trouble at the moment.

Could it be a problem with the version of vBulletin both sites are using?

This is not fixed or has resurfaced, at least for me. I'm only able to log in by finding somewhere with a Remember Me box. The login at the top of the home page, appears to work, but redirects back to the home page where it appears I have not logged in, except that I appear in the Online Users list.

I've tried multiple computers and browsers. It's not inconceivable my ISP could have something wrongly cached.

You are actually logged in then, if you click any of the threads in the Recent Threads (or any link at all) and then just go back will find yourself logged in on the index page as well.
