Hi, Haken
Love the site BTW...
Have been on/off the board several hours today.
Some problems, yes, but I'm patient and try various routines.
Haven't failed totally. Yet.
Thought it was probably hordes and hordes of new 'coats showing up.
Love!

Haken, I'm having the same trouble as everyone else, but assumed like Bun that it is just the mob of new folks we have.

It manifests as a I'm logged in, no now I'm not kinda thing.

I'm patient too. Just hate to be away from home any amount of time at all.... is all.

yeah, when I go to 'reply' (including for this reply) I find that I'm not logged in (even though I was before I hit 'reply')

it has just been happening for the last few days...
or at least I've just noticed it in the last few days....

Haken,
The majority of the times I've heard of this, and seen it myself, is in the chat room. If I'm logged in here, then hit chat, when I post there I'm 'Guest'. A lot of this happening. People have been needing to log in several times before getting their name to 'stick'. Hope that helps you track the problem.

Hi, Haken!

I WAS having problems with log in. I would show as logged in on the home page and then as GUEST in chat. Or, vice versa.

I'd show as GUEST in chat, but my chat posts would show as Karel.

I'd show as Karel in chat, but my posts would show as GUEST.

I fixed these problems (and others) by deleting (eating?) all fireflyfans.net cookies and cached items. I have not had any problems since.

From time to time, it just forgets my login. Never regularly, so it's not a "timeout".

Over the past couple days, I had to login, which redirected me to the login screen, and after that second time, I was logged in.

Later, I had to try to login somewhere between 1/2 and 1 dozen times before I was actually logged in.


Also, for a little bit, while I was logged in, the "My Firefly" link redirected me back to the front-page.


Weird things have been happening lately.

Not really a problem, but in case the info is useful in some way...

earlier when I came by I was logged out after clicking on one thread. I didn't log back in at the time, just lurked around as a guest. Came back a couple of hours later and I was logged in again (and I seem to have stayed that way.)

Same thing happening to me as reported above...
Not a Web server geek [tho' I play one on TV]
but it sounds like there's a user volume limit on the server-side handler that I'm thinking might be peaking so some people get logged off [kinda like a batch overflow problem in old 70s mainframes after too many users log on -- yeah, that dates me somethin' terrible, don't it?] so maybe something similar is happening here. Sure have been getting a lot of new people so maybe the numbers are just too many.
"We were soooo many..."
But then of course I could completely wrong... in which case it's Jayne's fault.

I know Succatash was having problems too.

I found that as I moved through the site, I would suddenly become guest. It also occured in the chat.

I also deleted cookies...it's been two days and things are working. *crosses her fingers with Karel's*

Hey Haken,
For awhile, I was having problems logging in so I could respond to posts. That hasn't happened for a few days, though, so maybe you fixed it.

Btw, thank you for everything you've done for this site. Members comin' up to 20,000 - you must be proud!

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same


FYI, I logged on about 8 hours ago, then went out to an Easter brunch (didn't close the browser windows but, no activity), came back and moved around the site. I was still logged on.

I'm kind of having this problem again. Anyone else having it?

Not really a problem...I will have to re-login every now and then to post something, but that's about it. Not really a major issue, just a "huh!" moment.

I just noticed, when I was on one of the Forum pages (think it was Immediate Assistance), that I was logged on as Guest. When I selected a thread from that forum, I was again logged on as YT, and when I returned to the forum listing, I was a Guest again.

On the listing for this forum, I'm logged on as YT (and, of course, likewise for this thread).

I'd been having this issue (as you say, not much of a problem) for the past several days. However, in responding to this message, it did not recur. Figures

I have these problems but *only* on my work machine that has some pretty stringent policies on cookies which is what I assumed was causing it.

Don't know if that helps.
