Man, this site move-over to https just doesn't play well with Google Chrome.
Now when I go to the forum, through the main page, the page crashes and signs me out. I then I have to sign in a 2nd time. It's happened a few times last week, but this week it seems to be even worse.
And again, this is on two different computers, my work one, and my home one. So it's not just my computer.
-
I'm also on Chrome, and I am not having any of these issues.
Are you keeping Chrome up to date?
-
In my other thread, people are having similar issues with Firefox. So it's not just me, here.
But that seems to be the answer in my other thread, too. "I'm not having the issue, so it doesn't exist." *sigh*
It's only on this site, and it's on two completely different computers. Not just an issue on my end.
Not only these issues, but I can't add things to the database, anymore, either. It will give me a blank item when I try.
And yes, Google Chrome auto-updates, so it's up to date.
I really don't think it's a coincidence that all these issues happened right after the "https" switch-over.

I'm halfway through your response here, but I never said "it doesn't exist", I actually asked a question given that it might solve your issue.
Have you tried flushing your DNS? It's possible that your computers are wanting to connect to http at certain times based on cached info and that's why you are getting errors. Possibly give that a try.
I've added at least 10 new items today through Chrome and have received no issues. My point is only that if you and I are both using the same version of the website (super probable) and the same version of chrome (sounds like), why am I getting different results than you? Likely because we have different computer settings. I'm trying to help you.
-
^ I said it because that's how the other thread went. A couple people chimed in and said it wasn't happening to them, and thread was forgotten.
Yes, I cleared my caches, usually the first thing I do when these things happen.
-
I think when most people say it isn't happening to them, they don't mean to upset you or give you unhelpful feedback but rather to just say that it's probably not just a purely Chrome thing (something to cross off the list of possibilities).
Reminds me of an issue I had for a few months where everything would just slow down on my computer and then ultimately freeze up until I had to do a hard restart. Took forever for me to figure out what was triggering it until I realized that an old Chrome extension I had potentially had malware. I uninstalled it, and the issue cleared up.
The only suggestion I could suggest is to try it out in incognito mode?
-
I'm in incognito mode at work (since I'm at work). That could be why the forum crashing thing is only happening at work.
I also have this issue, now. When I go to sign-in, after being logged-out, it won't accept my password on this page, but if I go all the way back to the home page, it does accept the password:

Hm, that is indeed very odd. I wonder if @jason would be able to assist... If he doesn't respond to this thread, I'd PM him to see if he can help you figure it out.
-
I've noticed some issues with cookies persisting on the site, so I would definitely believe that incognito mode could be causing some of your issues.

I actually have same problem occasionally at work. The whole Type in correct password but still get the incorrect password notice. The way I go over it is by letting chrome save my user and pass for it, but in your case of incognito I'm not too sure.
and the thread not disappearing after clicking on it.

The site itself does not allow concurrent logins from multiple computers. Something I deal with every day, I have to log into the site every time because I use multiple computers to work on the db. The forum is always logged in however.

Oh, right, I forgot about this. This happens to me as well. I just never notice because I go directly to the forum oftentimes, which stays logged in always.
Concurrent logins wasn't allowed after the last big overhaul of the site, I think.

Ah, so that's also why I keep getting logged out on my phone! Maybe irrelevant to this thread, but does this also affect the app? I can't login to the app at all, so maybe this is why.
EDIT: Never mind. App still doesn't work -_-
-
People have said they couldn't log into the app, but no it works for me. I mean, I have not had to log into the app in a long time, and when I open it, I am already logged in. I do not think it is related to login for the site or the forum.
EDIT: regarding logging into the site itself. On computer1, I check the box to remember my login. On computer2 I don't check the box. This results in Computer1 always being logged in, and Computer2 prompting to login. If I check the box to remember on Computer2, then I will be logged out when I visit the site on Computer1.

Today things seem to be better. I'm not sure what changed. But the forum isn't crashing. And it only signed me out once so far.

I've worked to fix some of the issues from the rollout of the SSL. Please let me know if you all are still having issues now.
-
Thanks. It's still signing me out, but the forum isn't crashing. I haven't tried to add anything new to the database, yet. I'll let you know when I do.
-
Well, the forum crashing isn't happening still. But it is back to signing me out a lot.
-
Hm, it's the main site that signs you out, is that correct? The forum shouldn't be signing you out, if anything. That always stays logged in for me, no matter how many devices I use.
The main site always signs me out since I check it on work pc, home pc, and the phone. Not a huge deal since I just have the password saved and the main site only allows for one instance of being logged in.
-
No, it's the forum.

No, it's the forum.
Ah, ok, sorry, I wasn't sure which one was causing the issue. Hmm, curious...
