Could you be a bit more specific? Is this the login glitch?

If you are on your phone and the log in glitch happens, Just stay out of the main page for a while until the main page realizes you are logged in.

Am I the only one who tried to look at the “Name the Beatles song that goes with this picture” thread, and gotten only a “Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page” message?

This is peculiar, since I posted to it just a couple of days ago…although I was on a different computer, if that makes a difference. Weird…

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

@Von Bontee, I got to it just fine. Try closing your browser and opening it again. If that doesn’t work, you might need to go to the history thing on your browser and clear the last hour or day.

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably not bother with that history-clearing (which I don’t know how to do anyways), since I’m guessing it’s just one of the quirks of this particular computer’s settings – similar to how I can’t use the toolbar, or the “@”, or quote posts properly.

I guess if the mods had a secret conspiracy to lock me out of that thread, you’d let me know; you’ve always been so helpful! :)

Certainly strange. No idea why a computer would keep you out of there but let you go everywhere else.

What kinda computer/browser are you using?

We’d be sure to PM you with a wittily-crafted message from @Zig if that were the case, @Von Bontee.

Annadog, it’s a big Lenovo with (I think) Internet Explorer 8. (But it’s irrelevent now anyways because the problem has ended as mysteriously as it began.)

Yes – the login glitch. Just letting you know when it works and when it doesn’t in case it helps with trouble-shooting.

Not really, but that’s not your fault! I’ve no idea what causes it. Simple Press are helpful up to a point – if they can’t replicate something they assume it’s a server/hosting issue or something else to do with the way the site is set up (eg WordPress plugins I’m running). Also, if the same thing happened each time it’d be easier to troubleshoot, but it’s unpredictable. That’s why I tend to just pretend it’s not happening. Sorry, I wish I could help more.

I just played this picture in the picture/song game. Seems appropriate here, too.

I’m just messing with you, Joe. You know we all appreciate all that you do for this AWESOMEST Beatles site!

Cheers and no worries – I managed some web sites in a previous job so I know how touchy they can be. I’ll stop flooding this thread when it happens and just wait for it to decide to behave again. Luckily it is okay about 90% of the time I am here.

Just piping up to say I think I’ve just experienced it. I think it’s a caching bug, and quite possibly as much chrome’s fault as Simple Press. I was all logged in and went to a thread I subscribed to and was suddenly unlogged-in for that thread alone. Reload of the thread and it’s fixed. Chrome can be damn lazy with its pre-render which doesn’t always update the markup.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

ahdn_paul_06 I don’t use chrome on my phone. I agree about the catching bug thing. Maybe it is just with the mobile site and certain phones.

It could be something as simple as chrome caching a cookie designed to refresh counters between reloads because the code relies on the header expiry instead. It’s gotten very weird and complicated these days.

I get it with Firefox as well, but could be the same issue of course.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I don’t know how to control the expiry of cookies on this site, but any suggestions welcome.
