It used to be I could be at the bottom of a thread and click on "Sign in", and after I signed in, I would be shown that same thread. Now I get a different login screen, and placed in the forum thread list instead.
Also, when I click a user's name, I should go to their profile, no log in required. Yet when I click one user, I get a request to sign in, followed by a screen
"You have made too many requests for the same page too quickly.
Please wait a minute before trying again."
Trying again, I sometimes get
"Pazio People
Here's my redirect"
What changed? Can it be fixed?
Firefox 43.0.4

Same here. However it drifts up/down based on the change in screen font size.

It would also be nice to have such changes announced.
Hijacking websites and forwarding critical information is not unheard of, you know.

I suspect what we are seeing here is a rollout of at least some part of the new web interface codebase that is known to be in the works. The new sign-in screen (with an option to create a new user account) is probably intended - the ending up at the wrong page is probably a bug. That's the behaviour you see if you try to follow a link that is somehow malformed.
When I get the login prompt screen I have, so far, ended up at the expected place after logging in, so it isn't a universal problem. I don't see the problem you report when clicking on a user name, but in the past I have seen that "too many requests" on occasion.
The user issue is only one out of several I tried, so not universal.

I'm having issues as well. Google Chrome won't automatically sign me in. It only remembers my password and doesn't auto-fill my e-mail. It's getting very annoying to keep putting my e-mail in that box every single time I want to log-in. Can Paizo fix this with a checkbox for "log me in automatically" or something?
Thanks for the notes guys, we are modernizing some of our interface controls and it looks like you found some edge cases we missed. I'm adding them to our backlog to get looked at.
The problem I have is that the log on boxes are now in a pop up which is almost impossible to access using my smartphone. The pop up "drifts" as I attempt to adjust screen size.
Hey Cutlass,
When giving us feedback like this it's very helpful if you can include which smartphone and platform as well as the browser you are using.

PM'ed you with specific details & url examples.
Didn't want to say who to the whole world.

Samsung Galaxy S4, current version of Android
Well, somebody did something right. :-)
When I went to log on using my smartphone last evening the log in proceeded as it should have. There were no problems with the log on box jumping around and out of sight.
Yeah, we made some tweaks with the most recent release to try to address some of these issues (they can be a bugger to test). Glad they are working well for you!
Just tried logged in. The login did not look funny like it has recently, but it still leaves me in the forum list rather than the specific thread.
The redirect of the one user's name still fails like I mentioned in the original post.

That is much more likely an issue with not saving cookies. Check the settings for cookies. Try a different browser. The usual suspects.
/cevah
The problem is still here.
I did a little checking, and this is what I noted...
The sign in clearly mentions the thread in its link, but actually logging in fails to return to the thread.
For example, the sign in link at the bottom of the page is:
https://secure.paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/signIn?path=thread s/rzs2t9q0
When I created thr following URL:
http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2t9q0
it takes me to the start of the thread.
Clearly, the sign-in function somehow fails to get to the correct thread.

Just signed in from my profile page. The result was:
Paizo People
Your search didn't match any items.
Huh? Log in is not a search.
/cevah
Also, using Sign In to Post Reply (from the bottom of a thread page) still goes to the forum list.
And while I haven't seen the particular "Your search didn't return any itmes" bug you describe, I have seen the same error message when I click on my real name (NOT this avatar or any character avatars) in my Aliases tab. But that has been true ever since I started using Paizo messageboards -- it certainly started way before January 20.

The return to thread vs forum after sign in issue is in our backlog, waiting it's turn :).

Ordinarily, I would say "*Raise Dead*" for such an old thread.
However, this problem is supposedly to be fixed.
It has been in the backlog now for over a year and a half, and the problem started half a year before that.
Any idea when this two year old problem will be fixed?

Since we're performing thread Necromancy, I should take the time to answer a question asked in one of the old posts and not answered: As to which browsers and devices this happens on, although I haven't done an exhaustive test series, it so far seems to be all. Tried Firefox (many different versions) on PC (Windows 2000) and more recently Mac (both El Capitan and High Sierra), and Chrome on Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android). I think I have also tried Safari and/or Chrome on Mac, but can't remember for sure.
Wow. New interface style.
When I am at the top of the page, about 1/3 is the new header is a large font.
When at the bottom, about 1/2 is the new footer in a more reasonable font.
That'll take some time to get used to.
In the meantime, with all the new stuff, my login issue still has not been fixed. :-(
Sigh....

*Raise Dead*
Well, another full year has passed. My problem is still here.
Any plans to fix?
