Problems Signing In Etc

[Neal 1,869]

I'm having problems signing on to the site and then various problems when/if I eventually get on to it.

 

On occasion it will work straight away but sometimes, after signing in, it will repeatedly take me back to the same page. I have tried clicking on the "sign in" button (as opposed to tapping on the mouse pad) and opening the sign in page on a separate tab or window which sometimes works. Then, when I do eventually get on and select "view new content" it will only show me a few threads which, I presume, means I had previously signed it but wasn't being shown this (hope that makes sense).

 

Also, when I have a PM or notification I can't see them unless I select to view them in a separate tab or window again and when trying to post a comment on a thread it sometimes tells me it's "saving" my comment but then doesn't add it to the thread...but sometimes does.

 

I was off the site for a couple of months so initially presumed it was due to this (to get back on I had to claim I'd forgotten my password and make up a new one). I'm not sure if it's due to this or whether it's down to my laptop (though I find it easier but still problematic on my wife's tablet).

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. Unless I've been black balled in which case...I'll get my coat!

Bye.

 

Only kidding mate. There's a few issues at the moment. A couple of the other guys have had similar problems. They got round theirs by using a different browser. i.e. The ones using chrome changed to firefox and vice versa.

 

Or struggle on for a bit. Should all be sorted soon hopefully.

Thanks Walshie.

 

I tried to post this about an hour and a half ago three times but it failed so I've spent the last ninety minutes downloading firefox.

 

I can now get on the site more easily...but can't go back when I read a thread and the wheel spinning type icon is continually going back and forth in the tab top. As a result I have to click on "view new content" from the top of the individual thread page and start all over again instead.

A while back, I couldn't get on here for a couple of weeks, so I assumed the site was down for maintenance, or summink.......

 

I downloaded Orbot, which has a virtual VPN....problem solved.

I'll pass this on to the powers that be.

Ninety minutes downloading firefox? Get yourself a new Internet provider mate, that is outrageous speed, Good luck

All the very best

Thanks for all the advice.

Not quite the same, I can't add videos to the 'What are you listening to at the moment ' thread - just links.

I am guessing this is browser settings, but I don't have this problem on a Land Rover forum I am on and it is the same browser.

Any tips would be welcome. i know it isn't just me as others just put links on

Possibly sorted...though it could just be a coincidence: the firefox was causing other problems (like telling me that The Hunting Life forum wasn't a safe site {no prizes there }) so I uninstalled it and went back to using Microsoft Edge (I think that's what it's called) which I used before Chrome and all seems currently fine.

 

Crikey that's a lot of punctuation and dropped clauses for one sentence!
