Just registered today and had some trouble logging in.
Also I believe I was assigned a random username - this definitely isn’t the one I chose!

Which one did you choose?

Fixed. Sadly, cannot do it on the forums, but starting today, the site is supposed to have some coding backup and fixes should be coming, that will enable our forum admins to do the same. Will look into what could have caused the generation of a random nickname.

Only have one laptop constantly logged on, but my second at my second property cannot and even log on using an old log in site, only allows me to navigate the site without adding beers, places, but can’t even verify beers from both. What is going on!?
Whatever it is, “it’s random” because I’m all good here in Shropshire on my old steam driven laptop.
<*))))))><
Which browser are you using on the second computer? Is it up to date? Is the system on that laptop up to date?
Have you already tried clearing cookies and site data? Please do so, but make sure no tabs with RB are open in that browser when you do it. If you need any assistance, feel free to ask.
The issue usually isn’t random. TheydonBois was the only one with “random” issues with login now due to an unrelated account problem, which was resolved by Joe as soon as it was pointed out. Atypical behavior is usually created by issues with the browser or the device themselves, and unless it’s something ancient that’s not upgradeable anymore / stuck on some weird version, or some bizarre alpha version browser used by next to nobody, it’s usually solvable.
Tried to log in. Wouldn’t let me. Is it time to retire?
Using both Google Chrome and Brave on one laptop. Duck Duck Go on the other. Now logged off on all three browsers and had to use the ‘way back’ link to get on here this time. Closed Ratebeer as suggested, eliminated Cache and Cookies and updated all three browsers and still no luck. Is there anything I am missing? Twenty years of rating and ten years of admin work that I don’t want to lose.
So you’re using Duck Duck Go on the laptop where it doesn’t work?
Try any other browser maybe to see if it helps? DDG is highly privacy-oriented and might be handling cookies etc. weirdly.
Sorry Marko,
All three browsers don’t log me on. Even tried ‘Edge’ just for shows and goes!?
So, to make sure everything is clear.
On one device, everything works.
On another device, nothing works on three different browsers, and you’re trying to log in through the old site / the link given. - RateBeer.com -- Login
Doing what Pinball does doesn’t help either, triggering the page by clicking on the blue add a place button on https://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ ?
Well… at least we should be getting a fix soon.
On all devices, and all browsers I can only log on with the old link provided; meaning I cannot log on with Chrome, Brave, Edge, Duck Duck Go, and also the Ratebeer App.
So you can log on with the old link on the other device? If so, not sure why the complication - everything has been explained above. Not being to log in regularly is a very much known issue, affects everyone on all devices and browsers, it’s being worked on and will allegedly be fixed very soon.
Not being able to log into the RB app on the phone is weird though, news for us.

Also, sorry for the obvious question: Can you use the forum as well as rate beers? It may still say “log-in” up top but you can still post, beermail & rate.

No issues from my Android phone, and I am still logged into the old and new site, but when I try to add a beer from my PC, it prompts me to log in - over, and over, and over again. This despite being logged in already. The only problem I notice is not being able to add beers to the database because of the above-mentioned issue. However, I haven’t tried to add anything to the site other than beers since I noticed it (and the problem has been going on for several days).
I’m still asked to log in on my iphone and my desktop. Safari on the phone, firefox on the desktop. Couldn’t rate earlier on my desktop so rated the beer on my phone even though it said to log in. Fiddlefucked around on the phone, still kept asking me to log in. Went back to my laptop and SOMEHOW rated another beer even though it didn’t LOOK like I could. It’s all over the place but I’m willing to fook with it to get a rating in.

Oh yeah, another thing, I can’t log out of this site on either device. Whatever page I’m on and I scroll down to where it says Sign Out and click on it, it just goes back to the top of the page. Weird huh?
It pretty much always works on the “old pages”, it will not work on any device regularly on “new pages” anywhere.
Wonder if trying another browser on the phone (is there Chrome for iPhones?) would help. Might indicate that the mobile browser needs its cookies killed.
If the forums page says log in/whatever in blue in the upper right corner, that’s not an indication that you aren’t logged in, no clue why the hell that doesn’t match the facts. I can see that confusing people.
And maybe it’s better if it doesn’t let you to sign out.
