I had to wipe all my cookies entirely.

FF allows you to wipe cookies for specific sites, that's the fix I used. It's set to auto-wipe the cache on exit.

Clearing all my browsers private data (including cookies) fixed it.
I had the same problem. Seemed to work fine after I closed and re-opened the browser.

Likewise.

I have it as well, but I didn't get logged on when I visited the site yesterday and couldn't log in either.

I am still having the same login problem, except when I am using Internet Explorer (which is how I am here now.)

I just got hit with the login problem, and like others deleting the SDN cookie fixed it.

Login problem hit me too just now; and like the others, clearing the cookies fixed it.

And, yes, I am using the Firefox Comdey Browser.

Ditto just now: Login problem; Firefox; cookies; fixed; WTF?

EDIT: And no longer a Redshirt.

Same here, couldn't log in, but deleting cookies fixed it.

Although I fixed my login problem by deleting my cookies I'm getting some new strange behaviour:

Sometimes when I preview a post it simply takes me to a blank screen, I have to go back and then click preview again to actually see anything. Also occasionally when browsing the formatting of the page becomes totally screwed - as in, I can see the code which I presume should be controlling the layout of the page displayed in a totally mangled version of the page itself (as if it was half way through rendering the page then went nuts and started inserting the code into the unfinished page).

It's happening on two separate machines here, both running Firefox 2. I have tried totally clearing all private data to no avail.

When I attempted to post, the board came back with an invalid session error. the sid in the URL changed everytime I visited a webpage. Clearing the cookies fixed it.

looks like I wasn't the only one with loging problems. Also, I have not been getting PM email notification, though since its my ship email that may be due to the spam filtter.

Just so the administrators don't forget the Mozilla/login problem, it's still going on. I should add that I haven't updated my browser recently, so it's definately not Mozilla.

Phantasee · Post by **Phantasee** » 2007-05-13 12:59am

I had that problem, but I have a new one:

I can't get topics marked as read unless I select Mark all topics read.

Which is a hassle since I dont read every topic right away. So even topics I just posted in show new posts.

I'm having the same problems. I frequently also experience a CTD in Firefox 2 when editing a post.

I dont know if this is a software problem or not, but i was wondering...

For a while now, maybe a few months, i've had a huge problem getting my posts to submit. I would hit submit and it would say "Invalid Submission" at the top of the screen and revert to the part where you write your response. Usually i would alter the post a little and it would submit; usually if it was one big "wall" of text it would go through, but if there were seperate paragraphs it would not. I also found if i pressed submit, it didnt go through, and i pressed it again it would...sometimes it would fail to go through many times in a row all with the "Invalid Submission" thing until, i realized, i would have to actually sometimes time my pressing of the submit button a second time so that i did so when it was still "reloading" (or whatever) from the previous time it failed. Sometimes this doesnt work at all and it somehow "unlogs" me and i have to login again.

Because of the structure of this post, with seperate lines of text, i imagine this will have to be "resubmitted" more than once or twice to go through. Again i dont know if this is a software problem or not, but i dont think it's on my side anyway. So i'm looking for some help.

I should note my computer's had mondo problems with spyware/adware recently popping up and dicking with me. I figure i've run Spy Sweeper as many times as i can and it seems to be gone, but i thought i should mention that in case that has something to do with it.

The avatar gallery doesn't seem to be functioning properly. I tried to go back to my old avatar and it wouldn't do it; I selected it from the gallery but it just kept the Six Days one up instead. I finally had to re-upload it as a different avatar.

The ranks button at the top of the board seems to not be working. Nothing huge, but I was looking for how many people had a specific title and it came back with a blank page when I clicked it.

I haven't been able to access the forums the whole day.

Ditto. Seems like no-one else has either, judging by the post dates in recent threads...

Yeah, for me it was unavailable between ~10PM Saturday night to 2PM Sunday afternoon.

So what happened?

Same story here.

Sorry everyone, there was a problem with the Internet connection and I was out of town until an hour ago.

Thanks for getting it back up, Mike. I was having withdrawals.
