+uk_searcher Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Tuesday 29th May 08:19 BST After entering correct login details keep getting redirected to login page again. Tried several times. Login details are definitely correct. I think that some of the recent changes have had an adverse effect. I trust it can be fixed so I can take advantage of the unusually good weather in the UK and find some caches! Quote Link to comment

Moun10Bike Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 No, there was simply a period of time during the last release where we had to roll back a change. Part of that release involved a change to cookies. IF you happened to have logged in during the window AFTER the release but PRIOR to the rollback, you would end up with a bad cookie that would prevent log in after the issue causing the rollback was corrected.

Moun10Bike Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Tools > Delete Browsing History... However, unless you are having problems getting logged in (NOT staying logged in, which is a separate issue that we will have corrected in our next release), then my post above does not apply.

stebu Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Where do I go to delete a cookie? Vista Google Chrome Go to settings (the wrench icon) then open advanced settings and then "Clear browsing data". Leave only the cookies part ticked. This might have effects on other sites you are using! Quote Link to comment

This might have effects on other sites you are using! Thanks. Since my issue/irritation is the not staying logged in situation ... to be addressed at some future date. I'll leave well enough alone.

+uk_searcher Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 The problem persisted all day and clearing cookies did not help. By the evening the site did not respond at all for me so I guess there was a more general problem. One day later and all is well again. I am able to login normally and can now get down to some geocaching. Cheers. Quote Link to comment
+Gwyddno Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm also having this problem. I've followed the advice given here and it doesn't work. I get logged out at random, including when I clicked the link to go from my profile to the forum to posted this comment! I'm sorry Groundspeak but you've made a mistake in your update. Here's a load more folk with the same problem: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=296174 It might also have been a good idea to let your users know that they were supposed to delete their cookies after your latest update!

Moun10Bike Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As I mentioned above, this thread and the advice it contains is for those who are unable to log in at all, which is a small handful of people. The issue of getting logged out is one that will be corrected in our next release. Quote Link to comment
