the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

tenth try today.

sorry to hear that. i'm unable to reproduce.

My sessions last between 0 and 30-40 seconds, it's fairly consistent. FWIW

*edit* this post took three logins and a would-be-lost copy-pasted message

hmmm... maybe we should compile a list of those who are having session problems. i use chrome and safari on mac. no issues with login or session length. before responding make sure you purge all rsf related files, including cookies, from your browser cache. i am not behind any special anonomyzing proxies or use vpn software. my logins work on desktop, laptop and mobile (iphone) device. EDIT - I've changed the title of this post and have included some bits of data that might be nice to know to better troubleshoot our login issues.

6 times was starting to think it didnt like this thread....

thanks for your work in helping to keep the site up...

- Motorola Droid Turbo 2, Android 7.0
- Chrome, latest (auto-update)
- 0 to 30 seconds
- no special software, proxies, VPN, etc.

Once in a while (once a day?) a white "checking your browser..." splash screen/page pops up for a few seconds, before redirecting to the site.

Will try a different browser later today and report. Also will try from a desktop browser (been a while)


P. S. Just cleared cookies/cache/history -- still kicked me out.


7th attempt...

Sessions keep dropping in both Safari and Chrome on Mac for me. Clearing cookies didn't help. There's no extra proxy-type software between my computer and RSF.

Also, I noticed that sessions live somewhat longer in Safari.

Using up to date Chrome on an iMac and am constantly thrown off. This is my second try to post.

So... the desktop browser (Chrome on Windows 7) seems about the same -- lasts about a minute or less.

Also, installed Puffin browser on my phone (obviously no cookies or history of any sort, at that point) -- same behavior, extremely short session time.

This seems like the same issue from a couple of years ago when session ID's were implemented to reduce bots. Session time outs began then, but were 10-30 minutes instead of seconds.

Chrome gets instant session close
Firefox lets me stay from 0-60 seconds

Looks like the issue is now gone for me. Was able to just post twice within the same session.
