We've had several issues plaguing the forum over the past couple of days.

First, registration emails were being rejected by certain providers because our reverse DNS wasn't set up properly. I've got the issue fixed and there shouldn't be any issues from here on out, but anybody still waiting on that registration email won't be getting it. I have manually gone in and accepted everybody, so those users should be able to login without going thru the verification email.

Secondly, we're having weird cookie issues. People can login but it appears they're not, "new posts" not displaying correctly, threads still showing as new even though they've been read, etc. If you logged it, it said "Welcome" and then went back to the login screen, odd are, you're logged in, but the cookie has the site showing you're not. If this happens, click the Car Audio Junkies logo, or any of the forums, and see if it suddenly displays that you're logged in.

I'm going to have to dig into the issues deeper this weekend, so expect some down time late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, so I can try to resolve the issue.

Thanks,
Alan

Hello BigAl205, I had that issue but just refreshed my browser and it then kept me logged in. Hope that helps.
 
Every time I go to the home screen, it appears that I'm logged out...but I can click on something and it retains my logged-in-ness :p

The odd thing is that it's also messing up on another site on the same server, so I know it's not just a forum thing.
 
I've found that I have to do a lot of refreshing or "hard" refreshing (CTRL + F5) in order to get around some caching issues. This has been the case for logging in, as well as being able to see new posts.
 
The issues are even showing up on Tapatalk...showing "login" even though you can reply to threads.
 
I am having a problem where the "NEW POSTS" link is not working and bringing up the latest posts. Am I doing something wrong?
 
My hosting company implemented some security changes on the back-end last night, but it shouldn't have affected the site usage. If you see anything that's acting wonky, please let me know.
