A Problem logging in and staying logged in

I was wondering if this comes up for people: Users on my site sometimes login and hit a link and the show up as not logged in, they refresh the page and a better part of the time that fixes it for a while but not always.

Seems like a cache or cookie problem but it is not consistently repeatable.

Any thoughts or help?

  • Do you have two versions of the forum running the same time in different tabs?

    If so you are being logged out becuase of the salt is the same.

    If not one other person experienced this.

    grep is your friend.

  • @mattdonatelli are you still experiencing this sort of issue.

    Did you experience it before 2.1.11?

    When I had issues with this, it was related to running on www and non-www. Since cookies are subdomain specific by default, and cookies are used for sessions, going between the two causes issues like this.

  • This is a different issue this is more random than that. It is also showing old version of the page, like three different incarnations, browser caching is disabled.

    You can set cookies for sub-domian using a dot and I don't generally use www. anyway.

  • thanks for a bit of clarification! @x00, sadly I am hosted on godaddy, what about your client?

    Not

    check carefully to see if you are getting old versions of a page. That is what is happening to me.

  • I tailed access_logs hen it was happening it isn't reaching the server, however I al also excluded the forum from cloudflare, and it is still happening a bit.
