I've been having problems with this site for a while ... figured I should finally get round to posting about it to see if others have the same problems:

+  I don't logon for a while (so my logon time's out) ... I click on my shortcut to go straight to the unread posts page ... and I get this logon screen:


+  Fine!  So I put in my username/password (and yes, I type them properly, no caps lock, etc., etc., etc. ), check the "stay logged in" box and hit the logon button.  But it never works - I get redirected to this screen:


+  I have to login again, usually works (but note, I can't check the "stay logged in" button, 'cos there isn't one)

+  Sometimes, I try to login using the member login box in the top left of the site, but that never works the first time either ... I always get:


+  When I try a second time it always works ... annoying really!

The other issue I have is that, recently, the "unread posts" page seems to sometimes clear itself - i.e. I go to unread posts, read a FEW (not all) and plan to come back and read the rest later.  I come back later and the unread posts page is empty!  This is how the old site used to work ... which was really annoying.  I know I have missed a lot of posts recently due to this issue ...

Oh, and I still can't update my profile to set my signature (or anything else) ... MT tried to fix it but couldn't ...

Yours unhappily,

Torch

That authkey (the double login) thing is a bug in postnuke. It has (after a fair amount of brick-wall-head-banging by MT ) been fixed in whatever PostNuke is called now. Zebulon or something.

Yes, i'm getting this too. Is there any word from MT on a fix or is it just going to have to wait?

i actually been getting this from day 1 of the new site, every single time i log on, the fix? well maybe not a fix, but my way of getting around that is by logging in the first time. when it gives me that message i log on again in the top left corner and it works every single time!

if i put my login information in the middle, it never works ;_;

i hope this helps ^^

Good - glad its not just me (although I think I'm the only one who can't update their sig ).

@Sub - yes, that's what I've been doing, and yes, from day 1 also

Oh well, hopefully MT will fix one day ...

I always thought: How stupid am i, that i can't type the password exactly? Now I know I am not that stupid, while still, there is the opportunity that in my special case it depends on my limited typing skills

@Torch - to update your sig, you have to click the pawn symbol at the top left and go from there. Clicking the Profile button at the middle top doesn't work.

Hehe ... I've tried every combination of icons there is ... but when I get to my sig and change it, then hit the green tick button to save the changes I get a server error of some description.  I discussed with MT a while a go and he didn't know what to suggest.  I guess I just need to wait for this Zebulon update.

While we are on the subject of the website, is there any change with the galleries - in particular, png images showing up with a black background and animated gif images not working at all?

Torch, I had the same problem once and it doesn't appear anymore. I know that i corrected something, I'm not sure what it was, though. IIRC, the tags i used were wrong and i used too much letters/signs in a field ... Try it

Well!  What do you know ... many thanks Nobbit - it works now.

So, there was definitely a problem (with duplicate email addresses in the system) that MT fixed some time ago, but obviously there was a second problem with a bad HTML tags ... great work Nobbit!!!!!

EDIT: Ahhhh .... found the problem!  Here was the sig that was failing ... looks fine you might think?


This is what I needed to do to fix it:


Simple really!

How could the apostrophe upset it? You shouldn't have to use bad grammar to make it work .  That's a bug.

Probably an XHTML thing. Try or instead.

(The numerical one turns into a ' in my post when not between code tags so that suggests it is the answer.)

EDIT: Just noticed, my sig has an apostrophe in it and that is written as '. But my sig uses BBCode markup, not HTML so maybe that makes a difference?
