login issues?

Post by **gnalan** » 20 Nov 2020, 10:44

Is anyone else experiencing weird login issues? Yesterday it showed my username as someone else, which I alerted Matt to. Today I've noticed when I login I can go into a subforum and it shows my username like it should, but when I go back to the Volvo forum index page it shows login instead of my username. When I click on login from the index page, after already being logged in, all it does is refresh the page.

So far Matt said he hasn't had anyone else say anything to him about any issues, like I posted above. If you are, please post here so Matt can see if he can locate the issue. If everything is working/showing up correct, please post that too. Maybe the issue is isolated to just me, or a few people, or??? Either way will be helpful.

Thank you all for your help.

EDIT Just had another issue show up while trying to logout. Is anyone else seeing this message?

I have not had this problem. I have had occasional notice MVS is not available try again later. It usually comes back in a couple minutes.

Today I had the login notice, but I was actually still logged in to MVS. If I clicked on the login icon, nothing changed. It returned to normal display of my username in a few minutes.

Current Volvo forums display does not match the current date, time and state of the forums. The display appears to be static at last Friday near noon.

New issue today when I first pulled up the website. It showed me logged in, but it wasn't me (I clear all of my cookies and web browser history whenever I leave a website), and after clicking on that username and going to control panel it showed a completely different username.

Another thread about the issues going on. I've cross posted links for each so things can be easier to find.

Thanks for linking here too Matt.

User slickdizzy reported this also and we've been trying to find a solution to it. I just now changed Browser Cache TTL to "respect headers" in Cloudflare.

I can confirm on my end that the forum software is now reporting IPs as they normally occur, instead of reporting all users visiting from the dozen or so Cloudflare IPs. That in and of itself hasn't been a problem. MVS has been configured for about 6 years to do that. It's something related though, and if this fixes it, I'm happy.

Please report back here if this happens again.

Thanks guys.

When was the last update on the website? I know it wasn't too long ago. I didn't notice the problem before that, so I don't know if something in the code got changed that caused the issues between the newest update and the one before it.

Logging out from the main forum index page gives me the following:

Then when it takes me back to the main forum index, and the current time posted is off.

If anyone/everyone that sees this can try logging out from the main forum index page, not a sub forum, and post here if you have any problems that would be helpful. I'm curious to see if the "current time" changes at all. You can log back in afterwards. Just trying to see how many users are experiencing this issue.
