Guys, normally when I come on to the forum I am automatically logged in, but the last few times I have had to do it manually because I've been logged out for some reason, has this been happening to you guys?

I've never tried before but I think m0nty has kept it for only coaches to see. Could post the link for "you know where" and see if others can see it. But I doubt they'd be allowed in "you know where" or even to view a topic inside "you know where".

I haven't been messing around with anything, so I'm not sure what it is. Have you guys noticed any down time? It may be the ISP restarting the server which would futz with the timestamp. It would be something to do with timezones, I'm guessing.

Title: Re: Login
Post by: Alex7089 on January 08, 2011, 05:23:20 PM
Hadn't happened to me for a couple of days, but it is back today.

I use quick reply J959 so if it is the 30 second thing, I need to learn to read a bit faster (I also have 50 posts per page)

the other day it was just logging me out but now it is saying my session has timed out.

The other day Elephants mentioned something about his time online not having gone up the last month or so. Could it be related?

Constant daily for me still, go away or comeback,or start posting allways occuring.

After eliminating my server now have eliminated the computor as have been using the one @ work & going thro a different state & a different provider >> So to me means it is at least / hope that it's 95% Fanfootys end. Means then that m0nty might be able to check / fault find to repair.

Have also tried each forum layout as well & no success.

I'm amazed that my problems stopped when I changed browser.

Maybe it's not the browser you use - maybe you just need to change browsers - operative word being "change".

It appears that the problem is most likely spam bot attacks, they keep hitting the login pages and trying to log in as legitimate users, thus timing out your login. There are various fixes, but none of them are easy. I'm probably going to have to upgrade the whole forum software to fix it... which is a humongous pain in the butt because I have to transfer a lot of customisation over to the new system.

Post by: ossie85 on February 24, 2011, 11:01:20 AM

:( Damn bots

At least the problem is known now, I can easily put up with it if it doesn't get significantly worse, so I wouldn't worry about it too much

Probably not the place to put this but don't want to start a new thread.

I have been trying to log onto the forum the entire day through the link I favourited (main forum page). Only recently I tried logging onto the main page and coming in. Seems to be the only way I can access the forum now. I logged out and refreshed a page before and said there was an error in the page (like what I've had most of the day).

A new thing or a bug m0nty?
Title: Re: Login
Post by: Alex7089 on March 06, 2011, 11:12:10 PM
Same thing has happened to me, R&B and BOOMZ. We all had the same fix as well, but for me instead of an error it just comes up with a blank page.
Title: Re: Login
Post by: Boomz on March 06, 2011, 11:14:16 PM
It came up saying internal error whenever I tried loading the page :-\ but yeah once I logged in on the main site it worked O.o

I'm on chrome, and it's happening to me.

So, I think we can safely assume it isn't the browser :p

it's just really inconvenient, I honestly wouldn't have been able to get on if I hadn't seen the recent comments on (mcveigh's?) player page.

It was handy and I spotted that luckily yesterday. Went to reply to it when I stumbled onto getting into the forum when I'm logged on the main site as well :D.

Hopefully more people are able to see that. But poor McVeigh being the page we use :P.

Same. All good now as long as I log onto main page.

I've got a feeling this is a new thing m0nty has made. To stop trolls from coming onto the forum, they can't even see it if they aren't a user on the regular site.

I don't like that. I remember I use to read posts on here for a couple of months before I even bothered signing up. Had it been that way when I first found it, I don't think I would have signed up at al.

I can't confirm it but it's something I was thinking about last night when I couldn't/then could get on.

Up until about....oh 5 minutes ago. I could get onto the forum after the sign-in on the main page but couldn't reply to anything. If I tried to reply it went to blank screen again and this was on IE and Firefox. Don't know what's changed

That would not be good. When I am logged on to the main site and the forum everything on the forum becomes red and black, as much as I love Essendon I don't like this :-\

Don't quote me on this Alex but 99% sure that you can change this in your profile. Mine is Teal as have picked on layout Power so maybe (maybe) you have Essendon as layout.

I haven't been messing with anything in the last day or two.

Nevertheless, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to the current SMF version. This is becoming too much of a problem. It will mean I'll have to take the boards down for maintenance this evening, though.

Obviously i can log into the forum, but for some reason i cannot log into the main page.

I was able to last year.
When I try to log in this year, it says i need to click the link in the activation email.
I do not have an activation email.
Anyone know how i can fix this up?

I have tried re-registering, but it will not let me as I am already registered.
Have tried emailing the site contact email address last week but no reply received.

Help..?
