Broken Forum Login

The forum has been a mess the last few days. Only ''sign-on to forum'' seems to work, entering username/password on message replies just results in all sorts of error screens/pages. TCP connect or somesuch.

Same impression here.

PS. First attempt of this post got eaten by the ''STM32 > New Item'' syndrome. Usually, I see this only when I answer the initial post of the thread...

I had an odd situation last night where the main page said I was logged in, but I was definitely beyond the session time out, and it would let me open up replies, but then the Format Code Block dialog would come up with an error, fail, or send me to the login?

I've not had the ''New Item'' issue since the Reply feature has been broken.

I'd like to see the session timeout pushed from whatever few minutes it is now to a couple of hours of non-activity. I know that nails a lot of people creating a long/informative post, only for it to get eaten, and the back button won't recover it.

This bloody forum software is exasperating at times....

Yep, still broken.

Still Broken, any ETA when this might get some attention. Seems to be the follow on to the original link once the login completes

Network Error (tcp_error)

I am almost afraid to ask: hasn't the last weekend's system maintenance session fixed the problem, finally?

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request

Hi waclawek.jan,

We are aware of this issue.

The only workaround -now, waiting for a better solution- is to pay attention to sign in when you want to reply in a thread or when you want to create a new one.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi Mayla,

While I am annoyed by the necessity to separately log in to be able to post; the real problem it is for the newbies who are frustrated the most by the obstacles put into the way of posting, and who will never complain but just go away (and to your competition, eventually).

> waiting for a better solution

You mean the complete rework of the site? The questions are then, when, and will it really be better?

Thanks for your continuing support.
