Cookie issue(s)?

Can't stay logged in here to make a comment on blogs, reply to posts in forums, update profile,etc.

It'll be a miracle if this gets through!

That's weird. On phone or desktop?

Phone, RobertJ. Using Mobile 10.00 (499)
I'll test it on desk top in a couple of hours (08:30 local)
I Don't log out of the oc, normally.

It happened again. Went to settings>forum settings>signature settings, then got logged out.

@ RobertJ: even on desktop. not as much,though.

This issue is happening with me also on Firefox 3.6.23 and on mobile using Opera Mini 6.1

The only browser that seems to be working on is I.E6, probably fine too on later versions of I.E

The only way I managed to post was by using an older browser such as I.E6

Is this a server issue?

Still going on. It does appear to be random. If I stay in the forums, it's mostly ok. If I go from forums to my account>settings I get logged out. When I log back in and go to subscriptions, sometimes I'm logged out, sometimes I'm not.

When submitting ^that^ post I get this:
Bad Request

Invalid parameter(s). You did not specify a topic ID.

Please go back and try again. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us about it.

I was having the same problem... To fix. Disable Javascript and login again... that fixed it for me for Firefox and Opera. Good luck.

@ RobertJ Please look at this: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1129422

Hi there!

We'll investigate this thoroughly during the day (it's 07:08 am in Norway now), and aim to fix it ASAP. Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Robert

Thanks!

Thanks, Robert

Question: Are there any particular pages you're getting the problem at?

Every single my.opera.page.

If I have javascript enabled, I don't get SsoSession and SsoToken cookies served when I log in. I do get opera_session and opera_ssl cookies, support check and utm* cookies. But as soon as I open another page, even trying to submit a post, those cookies are wiped and I am logged out.

When I disable javascript, I also get SsoSession and SsoToken at log in and get to keep them, as normally happen.

Hi again!

Could you please tell me your settings in this pane (Edit Site Preferences -> Cookies)?

My normal setting for my.opera.com is "accept cookies only from the site I visit". But changing that to "accept cookies" didn't do anything. I also tried deleting cookies4.dat before trying again with "accept cookies" but still the same. I then even tried a clean profile (by temporarily renaming USERNAME\Application Data\Opera\Opera folder) with all default setting but still experienced the same issue.

Seems to be working fine on the desktop version ... I did have to login once (which is unusual but not unheard of), but I'm still here.

Maybe your time is yet to come, Steve. I'm in NZ which is in UTC+13 time zone. Wait until 7am Friday morning.

Actually I don't think the time setting has anything to do with this. Another NZ based My Opera friend doesn't have this problem.

Robert. Another thing: with javascript AND content blocker enabled, the utm* cookies will not load either. But the content blocker has no negative effect if JS is disabled. And this is all on Opera 11.52/1100 (other specs)

I'm off for the evening, guys. Good luck bug hunting.

Same thing here. Login works only if JavaScript disabled, and no difference on what pages opened or what browser used. Moreover, this happens also on different computers and IP locations.

However, using another account on the same browsers and computers still work.

Do notice this account is used by Shoot & Tell group moderators.

Still having the same issue logging in, but works with javascript disabled, but I need this enabled for yahoo mail, so hopefully this can be fixed soon.

By the way when you ask about site settings, where exactly? do you mean on the forum section, opera, or the browser section? I ask as I use Firefox 3.6.23 and I always accept cookies for opera.

Hi there!

A couple of questions:
1. Are you using “remember me” at the login page?
2. Do you get the “bad referer” page or something that looks like the page was not found?

Yes.

With Javascript enabled I get this when trying to post on the forum.

Bad Request
Invalid referring page
Please go back and try again. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us about it.

I reply on behalf of Shoottell

No, because we S&T mods usually are logged in using our own accounts. Mine works just fine.

Nope, right after login nothing indicate being kicked out till I try reload page or open some other page (do a new request). EDIT: If the followin page is public, I see just login status changed to 'not login' on top right corner. If not allowed to see the page unless login, then the normal message as usual.

Hi,

we've spotted the problem and are currently working on a fix for it. Stay tuned.

Good to hear and thanks, will you be posting on this thread when fixed?

Hi,

it should be fixed now!

Thank you very much

My that was quick, thanks a bunch.

Robert, thanks very much for that, I just posted a question over at the Opera Mini thread asking if it's possible to disable Javascript on Opera Mini 6.1 for mobiles, thought to ask just incase I ever need to do this on my phone. Perhaps by doing it generally on the phone settings will do this, but I didn't see anything about JavaScript on the settings for Opera Mini 6.1.

Hopefully won't need to do it again of course, lol

What actually was the issue with the cookies, just an interested computer person.

In some special circumstances, the Single SignOn cookies (which allows you to sign in once and be signed in for Dev Opera, My Opera Mail, My Opera etc) was being prematurely destroyed. Now the cookies should no longer be destroyed for those users.

Interesting stuff, all the best.

Thank you, very much!

It's still happening. I open Opera>log in>forums>feedback>login> Hope this post goes through. Fyi: I've got full bars on my phone, so it's not the connection. I don't think so, anyway.

Error is "Bad Request".

Are you getting disconnected at some point? It can't be the same issue; I'm unable to reproduce it with the method we found this morning.

I can say that the issue isn't affecting me now, will report back if it ever does though.

@ RobertJ : I've got full 5-6 bars on the unit. I don't think I'm getting disconnected. I'll check it out over the weekend.

Looks fine with Mobile on my tablet ...

Ok, well, it hasn't happened in a while now, unless I go to edit my account, specifically my forum sig. then I get this:
You tried to access the address https://my.opera.com/H82typ/account/update.pl, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working.
When I click on the link there, I get a bad request error.

Just edited my account with no errors!

No problem here when using Opera Mini for Android

Have you tried clearing out your old cache and temp stuff plus cookies etc and start all over again, I am sure that will help.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks.
Edit: I normally clear my history and cache once a day...

I went on a big box, changed my sig, then went on mobile and changed it back. So, that seems to have worked. I'd like to know why it wouldn't work before, though.
Regardless, it's working now, so, thank you very much!

trying to keep up with this is a valuable education. thanks to alll.

Thanks to all

I finally get it
