Admin Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 A repeating problem on the forum for a while has been that some members have experienced that they have been logged in as other members. I have been working on a fix and thought I had narrowed the problem down to the forum skin and skin files, but I am not certain that this is the problem. But today the thing we have been worrying about happened: a member logged in and found himself logged in as an admin. Fortunately, he was honest about it (Thank you! You know who you are )and I could log out all members, but this forced me to move to a "default" forum look to be able to confirm if this is a part of the problem or not.So if people could do me a small favour and log out and then back in again a couple of times and see what happens and report back here if they are logged into the right account all the time of if they are logged into someone elses account. If you (ever) are logged into another members account, please log out immediately and report this to me, either via e-mail or here. So please go ahead and test and report back, as I need to get this solved one and for all!
Mike on a bike Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Yes I am aware, our honest member reached out to me. So far no problem on my log ins.
Admin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 Well, I have another suspect, so I hope a lot of our members can test logging in and out 4-5 times and see what happens.....
Sogeha Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I signed in a few times without issue. I'm using a iPad.
docthor Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Did it several times without issues...using Firefox 51.0.1 on ubuntu 14.04 LTS
capre Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 5 x log in and out without any issues here.
RickFlorida Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I think we should just start over. A new problem is that my password never worked last night. So I think there are lots of issues that may be hidden as well.
djulink Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I did logged in and out five times also ; each time got back with my account ; using Safari 10.0.3
swdivad Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I was logged in as SSTEEL the other day!
freddy333 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Logged out & in 3 times without incident.
Admin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks guys, but need more samples, so I'd appreciate it if as many different members as possible would try this. @RickFlorida; there was a specific reason why members was unable to log in yesterday, as I was working on the software and logins was disabled. That being said; I am not aware of any other bugs, so please fill me in if you know any
gasebah Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 All is well here too. But it took quite a while until I finally ended up in someone elses account. So I guess it might take days until we are finally sure.
mrsoundman Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 All is well after logging in/out 5+ times, running Firefox 51.0.1
jmb Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Logged in several times with no problems with Chrome. I remember this issue being discussed a while back and I had no problems then either.
JoeyB Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Logged in and out 3 times, and then the same using another browser. No issues.
ceejay Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 In & out 8 times with Safari 10.0.2 All good
fitch Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 logged in and out 5 times without any issues
Nanuq Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I logged out and back in directly and through a VPN on three different devices and 3 different browsers. All is well, but with my new login I'm suddenly craving pickled herring. What's up with that? 2
Sogeha Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would crave pickled fish, but the light bulb in my kitchen has just blownI Edit, update. I just got a momentary "site down" notification, kitchen light still doesn't work and it's raining now!
Nanuq Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Ah hah!! See what happens when you deny the pickled fish? 1
jigelow Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 I've actually never had the issue, but I am still not. Use Chrome if it makes a difference.
slay Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Hmm, are you certain it's related to an update/bug and not an exploit/hack gone wrong? I think something similar happened about a month ago on RWI (someone could log in as admin and/or give admin privileges). Just surprised someone would target rep forums, so maybe there's a pattern.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
