Possible Problems

edflorence

I am sorry that didn't work, John. I am now out of ideas, I guess. Since you have contacted Admin, maybe there is something they can do to change the Board Style from their end.

I certainly hope admin responds. The board style was my first thought when it first happened. I have tried everything I can think of but cant find a link for changing the board style.

It has to be something in the SS end with my configuration since if I don't log in everything is fine.

dusty

Yes. I shut down every thing, including my modem/router. I reloaded the router. The problem universal to three computers (all attempting to utilize the same network individually). This is going to be difficult for Admin to resolve because the symptoms are not always the same - Reible reports "No Problem".

No problems here either. shopsmith/w10/ff

John, I have nearly the same symptoms as you describe.

I can actually login but if I attempt to access any of the forums (Community, etc) or any of the posts within those forums, I get kicked back to the log in page.

I can few the Members list. I can modify profile. I can access and edit Board Preferences. I can access and send Private Messages.

Once logged in, I can NOT access the forum for discussion but what I get kicked back to the log in screen.

I suspect that I could register as a new user and experience the same problems.

I got here by Searching My Posts and then Posting to a thread that was there.

When I log out and try to come back in...I will get kicked back to the log in page and there I can read all the threads as normal for a guest.

Thus, maybe it is incorrect to refer to this as just a log in problem.

I have NO Issue with any other site I normally access.

I am not sure our symptoms are exactly the same but may be related. I never get kicked back to the log in page. I just don't get a GUI (HTML) page when logged in. It is mostly plain text with underlined links for the various buttons on the GUI pages. Things are missing and some links do nothing. There are no links to post an attachment or change the board style.

JPG and garys seem to think it is not a SS problem. Well I didn't change anything and I am quite sure you didn't either so whose problem is it?

Just as you, when logged out I can read everything as a guest as normal.

dusty

To show how intermittent this is...I just clicked on a Thread Title in "Community" and here I am. I usually log out before I quit for the day but I am not going to do that now. We'll see what we see tomorrow.

Here is another thing you can try.

for an address:

https://96.11.138.91/ss_forum/

You will get a couple error messages but that is normal. You will now have arrived at the actual shopsmith site address rather then a cached one on some place in the web that could be pointing you to the wrong place.

You will have to log in and then see what happens.

Nope, I am there now and the same result.

dusty

Some one is sure to ask how I can post if I can't access the "Community" forum. I get here by logging in and then using the search function which works. Once there I "jump to post" and am able to enter (as I am right now).

reible

Dusty are you following the other thread on this subject? If so did you happen to try my last possible solutions to see if that would help? Hey we are all rooting for you two with the problem........

Ed

Yes, I have been following both threads. Fortunately I can read the threads even when I am not logged in. I have tried everything that has been suggested. Using the codes that you suggested was enlightening even if it was not resolution.

reible

"Delete all board cookies" didn't work either, this is some odd problem. Hope Admin can get this solved as it doesn't appear it can be done from the user side.

Ed

Hallelujah The symptoms are gone. I don't know what has happened or what was done but the forum seems to be normal this morning.

As a result of my tinkering with this, I have become aware of something that I did not know. It is possible to log into the forum using the same username and password from two different computers simultaneously.

All I can do now is hope that my "log in" problem does not return. :confused:

dusty

I spoke too soon. The issue persists.

dusty

My interpretation of the symptoms has also changed. I have stated that I get kicked back to the log in page and that may be incorrect. I get sent back to the home page whenever I attempt to click om either a thread title or Forum title. After being sent back to the home page if I click on the return arrow (upper left corner) I get sent back to the Forum - where I can doing most other operations like view member list, search, change profile, etc.

When I first attempted to use the forum this morning all seemed to work well. No more.

Don't use the back arrow, to improve speed it takes you back to a copy of the page stored on your computer, rather than re loading a current-up to date version of the page from the website.

I don't typically use the back arrow. While working with this phenomena, I have been "clicking around" trying to determine what is and what is not working.

It present: What is not working? I can not click on any of the titles under Main Woodworking Forums. If I do, I get sent back to the Home Page.

However, I can click on those titles under Last Post. I am then given access to the last post in which ever Forum I clicked. As long as I am there, all is well (no limitations). I can also click on the author of that last post. This takes me to Viewing Profile (of that author). There I can click on any of the "Jump to Post" that exist. At that point all is normal.

I then get back to the problem if I Jump to and of the five forums.

Could the browser be at fault??? Right now I am using Microsoft Edge rather than Firefox and it operates as it should.

Flush the cache in FF and see if that fixes it.
