SChin Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Hey yall, While Stijn and I played around with some updates as well as adding an additional server, we aren't quite sure those actually were what gave the forums their legs again. From what we could tell, it seemed to be from an external source, so we are keeping an eye on it in the mean time. Thanks again for all your reports and your patience with the slog last week

Amentep Posted January 25 Posted January 25 My phone is logged out again (I just logged back in on it Tuesday) but my computer is still logged in. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
SChin Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 Hey yall, Seems like another new thing with no new changes having been added. Sadly for my account, it auto expires after a certain amount of hours for security purposes, so it's hard for me to measure. How fast are you finding it to log you out? I'll have our backend programmer take a look while we get ready to push another minor update. Thanks for the heads up!

I might also take this opportunity to ask about how the Obsidian button works. It still goes to the first official Obsidian post in the thread. You guys might not remember, but back when the forums were started the function pulled all the Obsidian posts in a thread, for ease of reading those posts. Any change of getting that back, now that we have new software? That had been the hope - previously reinstating this was not possible. Perhaps it might be now ... @SChin thoughts?

Boeroer Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Hi @SChin - it seems I now get logged out as soon as the session ends. Have to log in (with 2FA) all the time... Am I the only one? Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
SChin Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Hey Boeroer, How long is your session lasting? Your forum session cookie isn't supposed to expire for 5 days from your last visit to the forums. Any visit before then should refresh the cookie so you don't have to constantly log in every visit. You had mentioned on the 24th that you had to log in more frequently. Is it even more frequent than then, or about the same as then? Thanks for the info and sorry the forums have been goofin on you.

It's weird... yesterday the session ended as soon as I closed the browser. Just now I visited the forum again (first time today I believe) and I was logged out again. But when I clicked on "sign in" I suddenly was logged in again and didn't have to do anything. Edit: this is superweird: I now tested it again and closed the browser and opened if back up, went ot the forum site: it says I'm looged in (cool). THen tried to edit this post and the edit option is not there (huh? logged out secretly?). Reload the page and I'm logged out. I'm using 2FAuth - maybe that's causing a problem? No idea... I am also blocking 3rd-party cookies and use Disconnect to block third-party tracking - but there's only 1 content request from Microsoft and a bunch from Google afaict. In the past that didn't cause any problems with the login process. I can try without those and report. Edit 2: deactivated the Disconnect addon and now I keep being logged in. OKay, I can live with that. It's just weird that this worked in the past an now it doesn't. Is the session cookie from a different source now or something?

Boeroer Posted February 6 Posted February 6 After more testing I can confirm that blocking tracking sites (Google and Microsoft, see below) I will get logged out as soon as I close the browser. If I let them do their thing I won't get logged out. That wasn't the case in the past. --- (Formerly) blocked tracking sites: microsoft.com googletagmanager.com google-analytics.com google.de 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

Sarex Posted February 29 Posted February 29 I was getting logged out every day lately, but now it happened multiple times today. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
SChin Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 Hey Sarex, Thanks for the heads up. We had a certificate for the MS Login expire and renewed the certificate on Tuesday. I also heard Fionavar was running into the same issue as you whereas I haven't seemed to run into this yet. I'll have our web programmer take a look tonight to see if he can see what might be causing the issue. If you have any updated in the coming days, please let us know so we can be better informed on the issue. Thanks as always and sorry for the trouble with the login system. 1

Chilloutman Posted April 3 Posted April 3 (edited) Hey guys, anyone knows what up with this crap? its started happening to me recently and I have no idea why. anytime someone post (I assume) youtube link I just get this black screen. No idea where i can actually agree to cookies to enable viewing this Edit: Brave browser Edited April 3 by Chilloutman I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Lexx Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Something changed with the forum. After so many years, it seems posts are much easier to read again. Big thanks to whoever finally saw the light! There is but one issue. This bright light here, which now makes it impossible to see the page count, etc.: "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
majestic Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Default font size is a bit tiny, at least on actual computer monitors. It works better on mobile, but for a mole like me, eh... 2 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
