Problems logging in ...and staying in

Today is the first time I have been able to log in and not keep going round in a loop being asked to log in again and again, since ...well when ever I last posted.

But there still seem to be a problem because it will sit there fine, but if I try to post anything as soon as I preview, or submit it sends me back to the login ?

Found that I get about a minute or two that I can send the post else its back to the loop ?

What browser and what version are you using? Does anyone else has these problems?

Nope, running debian here with firefox. But also works on FreeBSD.

Weird, have you tried if you have the same problem in other forums?

If the error is on your side, witch I think of, it is mostly a cookie / cache problem. Does something wipe cookies on your system ? If so this should effect every cookie based login system in the web.

Run a good virus check on Deskthority.net.

And don't click on Spoiler tabs with boobs.

I think I have it sorted.
But TBH I cant say 100% what fixed it, as I have cleared the cache and cookies more times than I can count.

The problem was across quite a few boxes so not down to one browser even though I only really use Firefox/Palemoon (same ish code).
The *nix boxes were just the latest v3 FF stable versions, that said one Slackware box is only at 13.1 and a freeBSD box is an old (v4 IIRC) install with updates, but I even gave an Internet Exploiter v5 and v6 a go on and old 2k box.
All did the same.

All would do the same, let me log in but if I wanted to do anything that needed a login (reply to something) it would just send me to a login screenagain ...and again.
Its done that once just now the first time I did a preview of this post, but twice since previewed fine.
I expect it is/was something my end as no others have seen it.

Also quite a few months back I would get the DeskThority picture/header but under that, mid page just a line saying Forum no longer exists, it was only because I started another box and fired up Palemoon with a load of old tabs and saw it had a correct looking frontpage that I gave the site another go.

Well after quite a few days trying and getting nothing I got to log in first time and post a reply, and even preview the post a few times.
This box had been down and not long back up ...well a quick check says 27 hours.
Lets hope its sorted.
