Forums login is tenuous

Site News

Just an FYI.

I have received reports that some are unable to login to the forums. I am having this issue myself on my mobile browsers.

I am working on finding a tech to fix the issue.

The new forum headers having functionality issues is also a known issue. I hope the same tech can work on this problem too.

Login appears to work for me, but I’m getting a ton of ads on the forums.

Thanks for the feedback, Marko. It seems that turning off ads has started the ads???

I’m working on it!

I am fine on mobile but cannot login to forum on windows machine. Weird.

I was able to use the link sent to my email option in the new banner to login on my windows machine.

Thanks @joet

Can’t log in to the forum on my phone. It just redirects me to the main page. Any way round this?

My phone redirects me to main page too, but when I click on forums I am logged in.

Yes for my main account, it does the same for me.

Its bothersome, but I created a phantom account (this one) and sometimes it will let me in. Sometimes it says my password is not good. if I clear my cookies & web browsing, my main account still don’t work but the phantom account will sometimes work. Tenuous is certainly a good word! Thanks for all debugging hours attempting to solve this.

I don’t get that option when I log in from mobile.

There are two options.

  1. If I’m already logged in to the site, then the forum login button simply redirects me to the main page.

  2. If I clear my history, cookies, etc. and then try to log in to the forum, a page pops up titled “Discourse SSO” and prompts me to enter my username and password. If I do this, it claims “WRONG USERNAME OR PASSWORD”.

Yes, same thing with me as Yantar says, but I have same problem mobile or desktop.

I don’t always get that box either. It rarely pops up.

The other issue I have is; in my original main account, I haven’t been able to change my email for 2 years (since I don’t have access to edit my personal info): it has an old defunct email address in there, which I have no access to…

I worked around this by creating this phantom account, using my new email address, for forums only.

BM me the email you want and I should be able to do it for you or at least try.
