Issues with staying logged into the Forums

Some of you (OK, everyone who has an account on the forums) may have received an email about your account on the new "Knight Realms - Test Site" today.

That was me, pulling an Epic DERP.

I am working on a new version of the Website & Forums, but as I've already learned, you don't want to screw with the live forums, so I made a copy.  In the process, it accidentally emailed everyone saying they had an account on the new site.

When the new site goes live, I'll give plenty of warning, and precede it with an email letting everyone know.

Until then, this incident never happened.

What email???




In all seriousness I didn't get an email from you about this. Should I be worried?

I wouldn't worry about it - it was just an automated message that should not have gone out in the first place.

In regards to issues with staying logged in - the developers of the software that connects the forums to the rest of the website are stumped, and we're not sure how to progress at this point.  From here, I'm working on moving to a different forums software instead of fixing the current one, since that seems to be a dead end.  Until then, there will still be issues with staying logged in.  I know, it sucks... I'm working as fast as I can to get the new setup ready, real life permitting.

I'll post more information here once there's news on the new site & forums.

In general I have not been having trouble staying logged in.  But when the site does give me troubles, I either hit the 'home' button, or if that doesn't work then I try logging out.  The weird thing is, that if I hit log out, the site logs me in correctly.

This is less a complaint, and more of something for those of us that are having problems to keep in mind.  Also it might give Geoff a new hint to the problem that he wasn't aware of yet.

I've PM'd Geoff about the issue, & for some folks, if you log out/hit refresh/or do anything which causes your ID & session to be renewed... you'll find yourself with the proper page displayed or behavior corrected.

It looks to be a "cookie" issue & for those who have this page bookmarked or favorite, the issue will come & go.

I've only had one issue since the latest patch, and I just had to restart the computer and it was fine.
