It will certainly take a minute to get used to this after 13 years of the old board!

Occasionally it seems to bring error when trying to log in, but when clicking "open in new tab", each time log in worked then. There is some little bugs and especially on mobile version some of headlines are way too big. We'll be fixing all what is possible.

Now forum runs at https, being secure and up-to-date.

Every time I come back to the site it asks me to login, and gives the error when I try. But if I navigate to any part of the board (even without trying to click "login") it shows I am already logged in.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Yes, same happens here. We'll look into it. It may be related into "forced shift" into https mode.

I did some tweaking to the session handling.

This has been changed significantly between the old and the new forum software. You can imagine how things in technology could've been changed during the last 10 years.

Let's keep this thread active for following / reporting technical issues / wishes / notes.

Thanks!

Handful of people mentioned computer connection to forum is ok, but their phone brings error message. Most people don't seem to have this problem. If you do, solution may be as easy as to erase your cache. Old saved versions in your browser memory of past versions of forum can create problems. We'll be tweaking more the lay-out next week.

My only issue is that I can't seem to stay logged on, like in the old version. Every time I come back I must log in again. It's no biggie really but, if you could look into it at some point I'd appreciate it.

I also have some problems with the login process... I keep getting this message

Sorry, but you've reached your login attempts threshold for account BlackCavendish. Please wait 30 seconds and try again later.

If i try to wait and login I get: "Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again."

I succeded logging in using Brave, so no big deal but maybe someone else is stuck with the same error, so I just report the case.

I researched again and fixed some discrepancies between addresses pointing to the forum. Some of the supporting scripts used the "www." -prefix in the address, while some were without.

The official address of the forum is: https://special-interests.net

This improved the session stability and fixed login/logout/logoff/timeout issues.

Please test it and tell me how it's working now.

(In case of debugging difficulties, you could use browsers in incognito more / or different browsers at the first place. However, cleaning the cookies / emptying the cache would be smart move right now.)


Thanks!

I had the login/logout issue as well, but it seems to have resolved now.

Login seems to work now. I also tried logging out and then back in and it went smoothly. No timeout errors.

The new forum looks as good as old! Thanks for your work, celt.

When I try to log in from google chrome I get the message "You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings." I have third party cookies disabled. I'm able to do it from incognito mode. Any idea of how to solve this on my end?

I can't seem to find the Search function... still in the works or did that not make the cut?
