Trouble with account stability

[soldyne 111]

I have been having trouble posting and logging in recently with Simtropolis.  it seems that after every 10 minuets or so the site makes me log in again.  This is particularly frustrating when it makes me log in when I am trying to submit a post (either a new topic or a reply).  sometimes it will tell me that I dont have permissions to post (when I am logged in) and other times it will just erase my post, and everyonce in a while it will clear my text but post a blank message (making it look like I double posted).

 

Until recently I have been logged into Simtropolis continuously (I have cable internet and it is always connected) but just in the last few days it keeps making me re-log in.  it is very frustrating.  I have not done anything to my internet or cookie settings (that I am aware of).

 

Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening?

Actually to tell you thetruth I have the same exact problem! Whenever I enter ST I once again have to log in, my username and pass are saved but I still have to log in...

I have the same problem.. lo

[soldyne 111]

well if a moderator is having problems then I dont feel so left out, although it is still annoying...

I was having that happen yesterday also.  It appears to have been fixed now, though.

I've noticed that, too. It must be a glitch with the forum, since I deactivated password saving in my browser. For forums, I don't mind when the password is stored in the cookies, so I'm logged int automatically, but why should there be a need to click login manually when all user data is already present?

Yeah, I am having some major problems with threads and my user account ATM. I'm getting loads of time-out errors and its also making me log in again every 5 minutes or so. Anyone know what's going on?

It is especially annoying when you spend 10 minutes composing a reply, hit submit,then you loggin, and you forgot to copy to clipboard.  Now your post loads up empty.  Even if you copied what you typed, when you edit you can't enter a quote.

Log out, clear your simtropolis cookies and internet browser cache, log back in. It won't fix the problem, but you will stay looged in as long as you dont leave the site.

It is a cookie issue, obviously, we'll have to deal with it until dirk fixes it.

Yes looking at ST news there have been some problems with cookies on ST recentley. Hopefully it will be soon fixed.

I've been having the same problem.  It appears rather random for me; it was a problem yesterday and some today, but not to the same extent that it was yesterday.

Firefox doesn't have that problem! If you enter a form it saves the information so when you hit back it's still there.

It will pass in time if we give it a chance.  It's great that we are getting this popular and as we surpass 100,000 members these type of things are bound to happen.  Dirk and the administrators always get these problems solved eventually, they always do.  Besides, there are a lot of other places to visit on the internet.

Not quite the place for arguing the various merits and demerits of FF and IE.

 

Anyway, I think it's been fixed now...sort of... It's certainly gotten better, but in a site of 100,000, there's bound to be some problems that crop up. And to put it all in perspective, it isn't that bad.

Actually I'm using Firefox and got the problem. Though, maybe it's over, havn't bumped into the log in situation again today

[DuskTrooper 314]

Well, it seems to be working fine now.

Yep, I believe it is I also had the log in situation.
Every time I tried to access the forums from the homepage but it seems to be gone now.

This happened to me a great deal of times yestarday and the day before. I was in the chat, and when I exited, everything went back to normal...
