Forum Problems?

By dormouse, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

Is anyone else getting logged out repeatedly and shunted to the main FFG page? Or maybe there is some poor interaction between me and my broswer (Google Chrome 1.0.154.59).

I'm experiencing the same problem...it's a little annoying typing in the same id and pass each time. The shunting I thought was a glitch on my computer but I guess not.

Using MS Explorer 7.0.6001.18000 (most recent version) here.

It looks like like a general forum wide problem.

EDIT: It was doing it to my bookmark too. But the problem has subsided for now. Fixed?

having the same problem and its doing it to my bookmark of the AGoT minisite

Firefox. most recent.

Yup. Same issues, and also using most recent version of Firefox. Getting pretty annoying.

Same here - and the boards are slower than usual.

Yeah, it just took me roughly 5 minutes to login because I kept getting rerouted to other webpages. This is the first time I've encountered the problem, but I can't help but think FFG's website really hit an all-time low. (Not only are the functions and aesthetics poor, but now the limited functionality that does exist isn't even working correctly.)

I've found out that if i just go to the forums, even if the page before it says i'm logged out, i'm actually logged in...

Nothing beyond the usual issues with what ever software they use for these boards.

The problem seems to have solved itself for me. No longer getting signed out or redirected...

Yeah, I had some issues the last two days, but everything seems fine today.

I am still having the problem, but this seems to get around it. (I didn't see this post and it took me a few minutes to figure out this was the case.) Though the bug is still really annoying, at least I can post now.

accessing FFG favorite links seemed to have me logged out, but really weren't as pointed out by Lars. I now see how to fix this problem (at least in my case): the header "new" should be subbed in by "www"

change the link from:

from: http://new.fantasyflightgames.com/... (code continues on)

to:

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/... (code continues on)

That change did the trick for me...now business is back to normal.

You are brilliant! I haven't been able to post in about a week.. thanks!

Hey, no problem. There were workarounds as pointed out by Lars, but it didn't make the problem any less annoying for me.

What may have happened in my case was when the forum "outtage" hit the fan, I relinked all my FFG favorite links hoping that would fix the problem...when the whole fiasco went away (knock on wood), I was stuck with the wrong URL codes, thus had the annoying "log out" problem when using them links.
