Upgraded Forum

[Justin B.]

Next time that happens just click the "Board Index" tab and see what happens.  I have no idea what the problem is but it started all of a sudden and continues even after new forum software.  The YaBB support people think there has to  have been something that has been "upgraded" or changed at the host.

I shut the PC down last night(rarely do that) and it would not autolog me on this morning when I fired it up. 4:30ish this morning.

I did click on the Board Index with no revelation.... just took me there as a guest.

Interestingly I manually logged on retyping my password and it let me on. Now the password that was there had been working just last night with no problem, b ut I retyped it and it logged me on

I had done that very thing dozens of times before with no joy, but this morning it worked...........

I see no chatter about this issue any longer......... am I the last guy with issues?? If so I will get a fresh machine and a new load of windows and give it a whirl. I always get the same error message " screen name /password mismatch"

I'm having trouble with being able to use the back arrow to return to a previous post or thread. I literally cannot go back. I have to click the 'Board Index" tab and then start my search from scratch.
Anyone else having that issue?

am I the last to have any issues?   

FWIW  I was locked out of the forum for 12 hours. tried to get on this morning(early) multiply times with no luck. Went to reset my password( which has worked for me in the past) and the site said it sent me a link to do that but never got the mail. I did that 4 times but never got one response............... I let a couple of hours go by and tried a password reset again, I did it twi9ce and I got both reset mails this time........ the first one I used the link and it came back with user name invalid(WTF?) The second one worked and I reset my password back to what it has been for years and it let me sign on, and here I am.

It had been working fine for weeks and WHAMO it takes a dump.

I guess the site is singling me out for excellence , huh

The site had me as a guest for a few days over Xmas, then I opened the site the other day and was logged in as normal.

They just came in.... 186,000 miles per second and it took 12 hours for the reset mail to get here.............

I still get locked out for hours and when I finally get logged in, I can't make any posts .

I think this site is built upon ancient Native American burial ground and the spirits are not happy !!!

Well it isn't just me then. There must be some rouge electrons roaming around someplace that are bludgeoning us at times....... here it's just a pita, but I would hate to be at another site holding pocket Aces when they strike GRRRRRR

There was a several hour period I couldn't log on the other day (with 3 different browsers).  I logged on to the server, downloaded some logs, and in the middle of trying to figure out what was going on I was able to log in...

I seriously don't understand what is going on but I now believe it is something on the host server causing this

I think a human sacrifice is in order to appease the internet gods !!! 8-)

Ever since the up grade I have had log in issues or staying logged in once logged in. Also showing new post are not always what is really new. Example in the BMW TECH post on oil leak out speed o hole. It shows me that Barry is the new poster since last  time I was online. But Barry is not that last person to post.  We I go back it shows the last person that did the post.  Something is not right with new software or server.

don - people (including myself) were starting to have login issues even on the old software that's why I upgraded to the latest stable version.  The login issues persisted after the upgrade and across multiple browsers.  The only constant is the hosting server.

Next time you, or anybody, has a login problem e-mail admin with the exact time you tried to log in, your IP (if you know it), and any error message.  I'll look at the server access log and see if there might be a clue there.
