Have You Been Having An Issue Logging In?

In the last 2.5 weeks, 5 members between the two forums have gotten stuck in a loop when logging in. They log in, it says "successful," then the page refreshes, and they are logged out again.

In all cases, clearing the site cache and cookies fixed the issue immediately.

I'm one of those, I'll see if I can clear cache and cookies specific to the site. I try to avoid clearing cache and cookies. My position has always been that's it's the website's responsibility to do that or provide the specific option. I don't recall seeing a way to do that from a browser specific to a site, but maybe things have changed since last I looked into that.

I too had the issue but did not report it. In my case I was in the loop and later without taking any steps, could log in and remained logged in for some time (hours or days) before the loop returned. I eventually cleared some of my browser, but not any cookies from SCF. At the time it did not change my log in status nor have I been forced to log in again.

In my part of the internet speeds vary considerably, when it has been quite slow and the loop would arise when page loading was very slow.

Lastly, I never log out on my own. I stay logged in 24/7 until some external event logs me off.

Edit: I read the thread about this issue under the support section; so I will add. I use the current version of Firefox on a Thinkpad laptop running windows 10. Has a terabyte of storage but MS will not allow it to upgrade to 11. I own no pad and I do not access SCF on my somewhat smart phone.

I cleared the cookies on my Edge browser and the problem is gone.

Now I have new issue. The last 100 topics are dead. Clicking on any of them does nothing.

NEW ISSUE occurred once and then replicated:

I run my new posts at the 6 hour choice. I wanted to look for responses to an older post so I reset the time choice to "yesterday" and repeatedly go the "nothing to look at" desert splash page. The first time the page opened in a new tab, the second it opened in the same tab. On both tabs, the laptop back button returned me to the forum with me still being logged in and allowing this post. (duh).

Edit: Switching from 6 hours to "two days" caused no issues.
