Security Error

[classic33]

Can you tick it and see if you get logged in okay without the security error? You can logout again straight away and log back in without it ticked if you're worried about leaving the login cookie on a public computer - I just need to know if checking the Stay logged in box fixes the problem?

Having just tried the same computer & doing as suggested, ticking the stay logged in box, gets me as far as the signing up page for new members. Did manage to get in leaving the stay logged in box empty, but only as far as the front page.
Thought I'd reply now as you were showing as being on. This sent from a handheld device.

Are there any other machines there that are available for you to try?

Also, can you try logging in to GeeksChat or one of the others and let me know if it happens with those too?

There was only Petchat that gave problems. Either ticking the stay logged on box or not. Both brought me back to the forum front page, as though I'd never signed in. Even after logging off the computer & then going back on & trying again.
There are other ones to use, on one of three servers, I don't know which I was on. The only reliable way of telling if you're on another computer on the same server is when they stop working.
Having tried what you suggested, I thought I'd let you know the outcome.

It could be a number of things, but does sound like it is related to the login cookie; if there's a security policy in place on the network (or the individual machines are configured for tighter security [and security settings are disabled so the public cannot change them]) then there probably isn't much you can do - other than browse as a guest.

I normally see this if the login session/cookie has expired and the page is cached by Firefox, for example as an App/Pinned Tab.
Normally a click of the Refresh button fixes the issue.

I do on the rarest of occasions get that message when I click the Top link in the posts, but very rare...

Errrmmm, ok, I'll get me coat.

Can also be caused by an incorrect time/date setting on the PC

This is logging onto a computer, that deletes browser history & cookies on logging off it.

Correct time & date set.
