View Full Version : Forum Sign In/Refreshing Problems

I'm wondering if anyone else is having issue with the site today.

For one, when I go to sign in, it will not keep me signed in (it thanks me for logging on, and then refreshes to a page where I am not signed in). If I check "Remember Me" this seems to fix the issue, but then I encounter an entirely different problem.

Every page I go to on the forums, continually refreshes its page over and over and over again automatically as soon as it loads. The only way I've managed to get this far is to let a page load, and then cleverly time the "Stop" function in my browser. I'm praying that when I go to submit this thread, it doesn't submit 800 of them. My apologies if it does.

I've tried it in two different web browsers, on two different computers. In addition, it lists me as the only one presently signed into the forums down at the "What's Going On?" section on the main forum index (which I screencapped for later hilarity). I found the section title to be oddly appropriate given what seems to be happening.

...am I the only one? Is this all just happening in my head?

Edit: No need to respond to this, as it seems to have been a wide-spread issue, and is now fixed. Cheers to all.

I'm getting something similar. I can log in and when I refresh I'm still logged in but as I continue on to the forums I constantly keep finding that I'm logged out again. It's getting pretty annoying, been going on for a few weeks now. Any solutions?

This is actually a cookie problem. I know this to be a bug from time to time with this version of Vbulletin.

You need to clear the cookies for this domain.

In Firefox go to Tools - Options - Privacy - Show Cookies.

Delete the ones from Conceptart.org.


You'll be able to log back in normally.

You want to just clear out CA's cookies, if you clear out ALL of them you'll need to log back into everything you have on your browser.

Arshes, I actually did that last week when we had the problem of not being able to log in for mod stuff. Not only did it not fix the problem, but after I did I started having the above mentioned problem as well (continually having to relog in). When I just checked, My firefox prefs don't list any conceptart.org cookies. !!

Which version of FF?

According to VB's setting the domain is listed as ".conceptart.org"

My FF is themed but this should be where you find them. There's more than one cookie.

Oh one more thing, move away from a login section if you're doing this and do a HARD refresh CTRL+F5 to see if it stops the behavior.

I'm using 3.6.3 (mac version). Yes, I know where to find the cookies, that's how I deleted then in the first place. Just searched again and I don't have any conceptart.org cookies, so they must not be being reset.

That's odd then. I'll contact tech support about the issue.

I contacted support last night, seems the server move may have bonked the cookies. This was placed as an urgent matter so they're working on it. Thanks.
