Hello.
This occur now for some time many months. To the right Active Topics, when I click on ALL threads from there I go to the threads no problem.
If IN a thread OR in a PM I am provided with a link to another thread via the thread and/or PM I click on the link and it automatically logs me out and I have to log back in.
Why is this happening do you know? Is it just me or does this happen to others also?
Oosie, I get something similar to this -- I've brought it up before, I believe Flacaltenn was in it, and it never did get resolved....
If somebody links another post in another thread it works normally. However if I want to refer to an old post I made and I don't have a link available, I Google it to find the desired thread and then use that link. Far as I know it works for other readers, but if I click that link myself it logs me out as it goes to that page, and I can't log back in from that page.
Meanwhile the current page I was already on, continues to be logged in just fine.
It sounds like something similar going on. I wonder if it's related to Chrome.
I'll look up that thread and link it for you. EDIT --- here it is.
A lot of people are storing links, hotkeys, desktop widgets to the site PREFACED with https// --- rather than just plain http// .... Try https//www.usmessageboard.com to GET that warning.. Then try http//www.usmessageboard.com to NOT get that warning..
Then ditch what ever stored link, hotkey, or desktop widget had the WRONG http prefix on it...
I didn't notice a few minutes ago that there was still a thread available to comment, so here publicly: I tried manually typing in the USMB URL using "http" --- which never shows up in my navigate bar in any form so I have no idea what it's doing --- and it sent me to the sign-in page of USMB asking me to sign in, which I expected. But then it won't let me sign in and just ignores everything I put in the sign-in boxes. So that doesn't seem to have worked.
It's behaving the same way as the issue I raised in the thread that was linked in post 12.
Like I've suggested in PM -- make sure you don't have multiple WINDOWS open and both tuned to the USMB homepage. I hardly ever have multiple windows up when moderating -- just a few dozens tabs..
If I'm logged in and OPEN a new window and go to the home page it shows me already logged in.. But if you TIMED-OUT in an older ancient window and are trying to log-in -- perhaps strange stuff could happen...
Already put this in PM but just to go public, I don't use multiple windows. I will however often have multiple USMB tabs open in order to harvest something from an older page into a current post. That never has given any problems, in fact I can still do that now, as long as I'm keeping activity on the page I'm posting. If I take too long to find that content I'll have to refresh and go around the same certificate error again and start over.
