Bug: I try to sign in and it redirects me

by nibbuls · in Torque Developer Network · 10/30/2005 (7:19 pm) · 12 replies

Well, if the subject didn't make things clear, when I tried to sign into the TDN, the link redirected me to the garagegames.com homepage.

I'm using FireFox if this is a problem on my part, although I can't imagine it would be; I've signed in without problems before.

EDIT: It occasionally works, now.

Firefox was definetly causing problems for me.

This is still happening,
it's fairly annoying.

i'll be logged in to GG.com,
follow a link to TDN,
and have to click 'log-in' about 5 or 6 times before getting to the article.

firefox 1.5 rc 1.

Happens to me too.
FF 1.0.7

Though, even if I open it in IE, it still only works about 1/2 the time... which is better than FF (which has never worked)

I just tried to log in to TDN 10 times and none of them worked.

Thanks for the reports, guys!

This is a major issue and I'm going to be working on it in the very near future. It does seem to be intermittent, so if you keep trying it eventually resolves (it's a matter of time, not number of tries - trying once every 30 seconds is plenty).

Also, we'll have Elixir launching soon, which will be exciting... ;)

Ok!

Logins seem to be stable - the site update seems to have fixed it. Can people please confirm?

A little followup - I did a little bit closer analysis on the problem and there is actually a small chance that things will break, but it is now significantly less than before, by about a factor of 120. Rick and I are working on a more comprehensive fix, but since the holidays are nearly upon us it might take a little while to get it out.

I have a related, problem, where as I click on login to TDN, I get a blank page... Nothing at all, just white page. I haveckecked "remember my login", and I can access private forums no problem... If I log out (using the logout button) and log in back them TDN loads fine...
I am using firefox on linux, although not sure this is an issue.
Thanks, Paul Z.

There is some work being done on the TDN login stuff again, hopefully this is a temporary issue as we sort some things out.

If you encounter a login problem, wait a minute and try again. Make sure it's _really_ a minute. If you have to try more than 5 times then you've found a new bug and should contact me ASAP. Otherwise it's the same old time synch thing that will get fixed as soon as Rick and I are back in the office.
