Why does the new software not hold my login?

My web browser is Google Chrome. Everytime I hit the Bladeforums logo to refresh the site I get logged off. It really gets annoying in the exchange!
 
I can't stay logged in either. Using Firefox 55.0.2 (32-bit), Windows Professional 7. I click stay logged in every time.
 
Would just like this fixed been a bit of time since the switch. We shouldn't have to find our own work arounds paid or not enough people are complaining about this that it should be top priority to be fixed
 
This tiny gossip site I know of was having major problems awhile back. Then the owner shut it down a day , or so and came back up with https. only to log in on. The regulars there were saying thanks for the https. fix. Considering the place brings in 25 dollars a month in donated fees to keep it up and running, and they had no problem fixing their log in problem, you would think this huge site could get this fixed. I am logged out repeatedly and have to look for a https link to get in. Still no complete assurance it will hold my log in. It seems like the new server should be fixable?

Copy paste from site that had log in problems:

Admin Note: Sorry for downtime, site was being updated to a more secure SSL server. All problems should now be fixed.

August Goal: $25

Hey what do you know I had to click at the bottom of the page that said you must be logged in to reply here. Yes this is extremely annoying every single time we have to login.
 
I just had to log in again too. Despite coming in on https link. Oh well it takes away from the enjoyment of the site. I know I'm starting to be here less because of it's hassle.
 
I think the cookie is set wrong? I am logged off every time I close my window. Happens on work computer, home computer and iPhone Safari. However, my account is connected through google too and it will tell me welcome back every time I come here - even though the site fails to log me in.
 
It's been much worse for me this week.
Been on 15 minutes and have been logged out at least 10 times.

What's really strange is that when I click on the link you provided it logs me out. If I use my saved bookmark that takes me to the exact same address it logs me in automatically.

I haven't had any problems browsing the forum otherwise, with the exception of the logo in the upper left corner still not being fixed.
 
I've tried Chrome on my phone, tablet and PC. Safari on my phone and tablet. It doesn't make a bit of difference.

I really enjoy my time here but the frustration is getting to me.
 
For me, when I click either of these 3 places, I go to https://www.bladeforums.com and stay logged in.

If I click either of these 3 places (below), I go to www.bladeforums.com and I'm logged out and can't log in. Also, once I'm routed off of the https site by clicking one of these places, the previous 3 links that worked, don't work anymore either. They just take me to www addresses instead of https addresses. I then have to go click on my bookmarked https link, but I don't have to log back in, it works like I never was actually logged out.

If you are trying to force to https then you are going to need to add a script to forward all http to https - the forum software isn't doing it successfully. Try adding a a 403/404 error capture pointed to a redirect script to do it:

Code: 
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- begin hide

function goElseWhere()
{
var oldURL = window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname;
var newURL = "https://" + oldURL;
window.location = newURL;
}
goElseWhere();

// end hide -->
</script>

This is just one old school suggestion, there are many ways to fix the problem, including going back to http. (or back to the previous software)

We have the exact same issues and have no control over how the software works. Cogs in a machine we are...
Just for fun, I like to go to the back end and click on all the reports- Each and every one, I have to modify the link with https:// in front of the URL.
Now, imagine when the spammers are loading up the site- Each report for the same post is a separate thread when in the old software, they were consolidated.
That turns into a bit of work merging all the reports on the same thread into one after removing the spam or whatever was reported.

Sorry- We are unable to help on this issue- This is up to Spark.
