Why has the forum begun to require me to login every time I return from leaving the site (reusing the tab)? This just started yesterday (Saturday, 7-11-2009). Thanks, John.

EDIT: I am also seeing error messages (Authorization mismatch - please go back and try again. If you have been trying to access a function incorrectly, please use the proper method.) when I try to Preview a Reply.

Two times today for me. I hope it gets solved soon.

But no additional error messages once I'm logged in.

I've had both issues today as well. It probably has to do with setup'ing the new site front page (web server restarted perhaps?). Most likely it won't happen again.

It's not like it's been happening for a whole week, and had to re-login a couple dozen times or anything.

Edit: talked too fast. Had to re-login 4 times so far. Looks like the old problem's back.

I believe it's related to the CMS change on the frontpage.

I've seen that authorization mismatch error every time I've posted today. If I don't page another page or thread every 30 minutes or so, I have to log in again.

1 of 5 posts I got the "authorization-error" - 4 times no problem.
Forum is often slow while getting "New Posts".

Same here. Hope it gets fixed soon.

argh!! the new msfn frontpage looks ugly

[Tripredacus]

I've only had to relogin once and have not gotten those mismatch errors.

[gamehead200]

I've gotten the mismatch errors only when using "Fast Reply" and have had to log in three times today. "Quick Edit" also seems to be a bit choppy.

Ha! Got the mismatch error when posting this!

If you get the posting error, back up and refresh the page. It will go through the 2nd time. What you typed will still be there but copy it if you want to be extra sure,

Or use the regular reply button.

Huh? What else would one use if they are not using quick reply?

Here's one for you. Still it seems that frontpage and forum logins aren't working properly. Since the website got upgraded, I decided to test out the comment issue. Its old news that comments are never tagged, so I did this:

1. Clear cookies (closed browser) and session data
2. Go to home page.
3. Log in from Homepage. Logged in and everything great.
4. Made a comment on news article

Results:

Note: It won't let you post a comment if you aren't logged in. After you post a comment, you are no longer logged into the home page (because you can't make new comments), but you are logged into the forum. Also, it said my time was 6:10pm!

Well that's what happened to me. Comments still broken. Also if you go to the home page, it says that news item has 0 comments. If you click it, it suddenly says 1 comment. If you go back to the homepage, it says 0 again.

I wouldn't want to figure this headache out!

JK Xper does a great job!

EDIT: OK I finally got this message... It has to do with the session data I believe. The session hash stored by the browser does not equal the one stored on the server. This doesn't mean that the hash is changing, but perhaps it is expiring on the server, which can give this message also.

I'v got the errors many times today and as late as 5 minutes ago.
Almost impossible to use the board at the moment because of this.

Also if I enable activeX (which is disabled by default) pages take ages to download...

[Tripredacus]

I may have found what is causing this issue. I will report it and hopefully it can be fixed soon.

[xper]

I'm working on it for several hours. Be patient please.

[Fredledingue]

That's fine. We will wait.

(just saying the problem is still there thought)

[Dude112]

Hmmmm i dont see any errors here.....

Thanx for looking into things XPer
