Signing in/out is becoming a joke

    Darn sign in/out loop did it again, didn't account the time it took to complete as I was fixing my coffee.

    Have you ever tried clicking on the little escape link at the end of the message?  Works for me.  However, you have catch it at just the right moment.  Fortunately, for me it always appears in exactly the same spot so I just preposition my cursor in the spot where it appears and start pressing the button quickly.  Ta-da!

    What ever forum software Hivewire got since their ISIS issue... it's really good with tons of options and never have been signed out or had my logon forgotten.

    I saw it had problems with Android based tablets and phones though

    yea, this is Lisa's baby and she's getting over some major issues including health related stuff.  I'm sure she will get it figured out in time.  smiley

  • The sign in/sign out thing has gotten really bad for me lately.  Just had a loop happen for over 20 (yes 20) "Signing you in"/"Signing you out" messages before stopping the wheel at "out".  I wasn't having many problems before (only coming in from email or via mobile) but here in the last week it's been horrid and very frustrating.

    I noticed it's still doing the switching between the log in/log out but it does it now slower so don't make my eyes go as crazy, so a big huzzah to the web wizards for casting their level 1 spell and rolling the 4 sided dice.

    Cookies expiration dates are OK (from days to years in the future) so it is squarely some problem on DAZ side.

    Cookies expire? I thought cookies and mayonnaise are the two things that never expire? So if that box of crusty grey Oreos from 1996 that I just ate were in fact expired, it isn't DAZ's fault?

    It is a variable issue so not a simple fix. I don't normally get logged off at all by the site. I just started using this computer (vista) again last week and the site has not logged me out once. Not even when I rebooted. The newer one (windows 7) went to visit the shop but it has been months since I was logged out by the site on it. I'm not sure when the last time I got the log in loop and I'm not sure if that stopped or if I it is just because I have not been logged out in a long time. I use fire fox but I know that it happens to other people who use it as well so that isn't it. I stay logged in on two different versions of windows so that isn't it. I stay logged on with my lap top as well (also win 7) so it isn't just my desk tops. So that lets out a slew of easy answers as to why some people get logged out and some people don't.

    Well, as of last week, (no problems before then) I was in the "Rapid Fire Sign In Sign Out Sign In Sign Out" going so fast that it was blinking that for a full minute! Seriously, that motion of pulsing print at me at lightning speed almost made me hit the X button to leave the site. Before last week, no problem. So if they are trying to fix it, they made it worse because now it's impacting other people that weren't affected previously. (Huge "if"...)

    I checked the forums this morning and got signed out

    my understanding is we log in and the request goes to two distinct severs in two different geographical locations. They should start there. 

    This isn't NASA trying to bring a stranded astronaut back from Mars, it's a log in for a website.

    So you think both of those sites somehow keep myself and most people logged but not others because? It isn't because I am close to the store one because it takes about 30 minutes for the store to fully update for me at night.

    I am reiterating what I know from 'what I've heard', but I don't claim to know fact to that matter. What is fact is the more I post on this thread about the problem the more this problem persists; at least for me. Any OS platform and browsers combination attempts will generate the behavior and no one combination has presented itself as the magic bullet of resolving it at this time.

    It is obviously a fact that some people have an issue just like it is a fact that not everyone does have an issue staying logged in. That is why it is so hard for them to track down.

    I think some people might be enjoying it and therefore not reporting it... Maybe it's like a mini psychedelic trip with the looping and signing in and out...

    What if that particular astronaut has the fix?

    The main page is HTTP, not HTTPS. There's reasons for having the top page to be HTTP, but I'm not entering any login info to the HTTP top page. So I'm not clicking that "keep me logged in" box, no matter how "unreasonable" that might be.

    Secondly, this issue is the worst with Safari on iOS 9.2 on my iPhone and iPad. This is not exactly obscure technology. It should be a standard test case, so why is it my fault for not reporting something that happens every time?

    Or just take it as "the usual DAZ weirdness"...

  • HeraHera Posts: 1,962

    What makes me annoyed is that DAZ seem to have problem with things which are never an issue anywhere else

    * This problem, whic is getting so old - it's about a goddamn cookie, every other forum out there seem to get it right

    * The search function - which is now totally absent

    * The clunky way to add picture attachments. Took me hours to figure out how that one worked
    * Not being able to put up an end-date for sales

    * Some other problems with emptying carts, miscalculation, cart suddenly showing zero price and so on. For instance in today's SciFi sale there are again items included which do not get the sale price applied when I put them in my cart. Like this one http://www.daz3d.com/heavy-mech . But I'm overtired of reporting these kinds of errors when it doesn't ever get any better and now I'm simply not buying them.

    Yes - as in how hard can that be? If they cannot do it system-side, then how about doing it manually?

  • As strange as it seems, I think they had less problems when they seemed to be in control of their own forum design way back when.

    I was gonna make a satirical comment on this phenomenon, but I just got logged out... I don't feel satirical anymore... Maybe a little gassy, but no satire.

    Does anyone get logged out after visiting a thread?... I haven't noticed anyone mention that. At least 10% of the time I get logged out I will have time to go to (for example) the commons, find a thread I've read before, click it,  it will take me to the last post I read and just as my eyes are focusing on the post, the screen will flash and jump a post or two, up or down... When that happens I'm logged out.

    Its funny that when you log back in it takes you to your account page where the first thing you see are your last purchases... I don't spend a lot, but do you really want to be reminding some people constantly of how much they are spending...?

    It seeme people are experiencing different things,  almost like personalised bugs.   It is really weird, and hence extremely difficult to track down.

    Isn't this a couldflare issue? I always (!) get signed out and then back in after a purchase. But only then, never any other time. I assume the purchase is not done through cloudflare, then when I get back to using it, it is out of sync. Otherwise because of my geographical location, I think I'm always using the same cloudflare server. Doesn't this issue only occur for people who can access different (several) cloudflare servers because of their location?
