I have the suspicion that this is a browser issue rather than a site issue, but I wanted to make you aware of it.
I use Firefox with the NoScript addon. Both upgraded this morning (Now I'm on FF 31.0 and NoScript 2.6.8.36. I was prompted that I had to allow cookies, which is not unusual on other sites because of NoScript, but I don't recall seeing it here since I have NoScript set to give paizo.com carte blanche. That only came up initially and may have resolved itself once I logged in.
Of more concern, every time I post something to the forums, I am logged out of the site. After I log back in, the login never completes. I have to kill the request and refresh the page to get back into the site.
Post to a forum, get kicked out, rinse, repeat.
I assume this is related to the upgrades and I know I can use a different browser. I wanted you to be aware of the strange interaction problem that the upgrades appear to have started.
Thanks!
It likely has something to do with NoScript, we have a couple of folks using Firefox 31 and can't get it to replicate (but we're not running NoScript, we try to keep dev machines pretty vanilla).
I suspected as much. I will keep poking and see if it reveals anything useful. Thanks for the response.
Well, part of the issue is not FF-related. I opened Chrome, went to paizo.com, and hit the "sign in" link. I went to the normal login page, entered my credentials, and hit enter.
I got a blank screen in return. I had to refresh the page to get any of the page content. I don't have any add-ons running in Chrome. Version 36.0.1985.125
AnivarG - Is the behavior consistent? i.e. if you log out and back in again does it happen consistently?
No, it only seems to happen when the site spontaneously logs me out. If I intentionally log out, I am able to log back in just fine.
Don't worry about it. It's a corner case and someday it will disappear on its own or it will be obvious what I'm doing differently. Thanks for your time.
