Anybody else getting booted from the forum

LuFins Dad

I am having to log into the forum several times a day... Anybody else having that issue?

Mik

Only on my iPhone. It loses the connection somehow.

Feels like one per day per device, when I try to post something, I get a connection error message. But I only needed to refresh the page and I can post. No need to retype the login/password, and don't have to retype the post, NodeBB seems to be able to cache the draft just fine in the face of a connection error. It's somewhat annoying, but not unmanageable. It's not due to the latest upgrade either, this issue has been around a few months.

@lufins-dad Not me.

Klaus

Occasionally, the forum software spits out errors of the form "invalid csrf token", which is related to cookies and hence logins.

I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of these errors. One thing that would be helpful: If you experience the issue, could you take note of the exact time when this happened? Then I can match this to the events in the log file of the server and potentially debug the problem.

I'm part of the in-crowd here, so I don't get booted, but I imagine some of you nerds get booted on occasion.

Klaus

Actually, I just got booted myself.

Did you see this window when that happened?

LuFins Dad

@klaus no, but I just booted again.

11:34PM EST on an iPhone

Copper

I think it has been weeks since I logged in.

LuFins Dad

And at 7:16 PM EST. It happened when I left the Asian Hate thread and I think that’s where it happened earlier...

Doctor Phibes

You'll notice Donald Trump hasn't been posting here lately.

That's because Klaus and me banned him.

Suck it up, fatso!

Hm. I checked the log at the two times you mention - nothing.

This is the main error log for the last two days.

The time stamps are in UTC. Let me know if you notice any correspondence between funny behavior and these time stamps.
