This morning my login is not being recognized on the home page(s) (Life/Gaming/Tech). It is showing "Sign In" instead of "My Account" and Ads are displaying.

While I do spend the majority of my time on the forum and am unaffected when I go to look for new articles or reopen the home page I get Ads that cause me nightmares... or make me want a Snickers.

I have verified this in FF3.6.6 and IE8.0.6

Rock On Icrontic:rockon: That is all,

    Have you tried logging out on the front page and logging back in?

    I did not. Will do if it happens again.

    Hmmm, still doing it in IE. Logged out and logged back in to no avail. I wonder if posting had anything to do with it...

    Did you check the "Remember Me" box? Wordpress won't give you any <3 without a cookie.

    I'm having similar issues (as noted in our Campfire chat). I'll share it for the possible benefit of others:

    Okay, having an odd issue. I sign in to Icrontic, but when I visit the main page it keeps treating me like I'm not signed in. So when I visit an article and go to leave a comment, it treats me as a guest. I sign in, return, and it still does it. Tested positive on both Chrome 5.0.375.99 and Internet Explorer 8.

    I left a comment on the Alice article in the forums, and while it shows up properly in the forums, it does not in article.

    Update: My comment is now in the Alice article at the bottom of the comments section (as it should), but it's still telling me I'm signed out, and signing in does nothing. It takes me to the community forums and says I'm signed in, but when I go back to the main Icrontic site, it says I'm a guest again.

    From there, if I then click to return to "community", it says I'm signed in. Back to the news site, it says "guest". So end result: I'm signed into the forums, but not the main IC site.

    I know these were directed at Digi but I tried it as well. I logged out in both browsers, and when I logged in I made sure "Remember Me" was checked. No effect on the issue. Still "in" for forums, "guest" for main site. Sigh.

    Everything looking fine for me, but I am possibly a member of a different usergroup since I can Mod a couple forums.

    Matt, maybe a usergroup issue with the new "sponsor" stuff implemented?

    [wrote this before Bandriks post but sidetracked]

    I tested that per Link's recommendation and does not seem to effect it in IE.

    Logged out, logged in, Home page shows "Sign In", Click Sign In and I'm on the forum signed in.

    Logged out, logged in checking "Remember Me", same result.

    Side note in IE when I bring up the Forum home page I receive an error

    Bump.

    I realize this is not a pressing matter and if the admins have priority projects I understand. I am worried about the new subscriber program where someone pays $90 and still has to hunt down the front page articles in the forum to post under their registered name.

    Bandrik, the next time that happens I need you to hit wp-admin and tell me if it lets you in. I need to know whether it's really a permission issue or just the page getting cached by the server for too long.

    I Loled, This is the home page I got this morning:

    My account takes me to My (BobbyDigi) account, WPAdmin links took me to login page with my username in the login.

    Lincoln, here's what it's doing now. It seems to be 99% better, but still is slightly peculiar (though I can certainly live with it). I'm testing this with both a netbook (EeePC) and notebook, with Chrome and Firefox. Results are identical to all tests.

    When I first dial up to the site, it now remembers me properly on the front page ("Howdy, Bandrik!"). Full access is open to WP by clicking on "Contribute to...". If I click "log out" and return to the main page, looks fine so far. Then I click "log in" and do so. It goes to the forums and says once again, "Howdy, Bandrik!"

    Here's were it gets strange. If I then click on the IC logo to go back to the main page, it then reverts showing I'm not logged in. From there, I click on one of the the main articles (in this case, the one on CoolIt giving away 100 units) and it snaps back to showing me that I'm signed in (Howdy, Bandrik).

    From there when I click the IC logo and return to the main page, I'm now signed in properly. From here on out, no matter where what path I click through the site, I now remain signed in, and will remain signed in even when I close and re-launch the browsers (as I should be).

    It only "breaks" when I click "sign out", at which point the cycle can be repeated. In fact, this entire pattern can be repeated exactly and perfectly every time I click "log out". So in summary, if I am signed out or start fresh on a computer I haven't used before (a friend's laptop, etc), I must...

    1) sign in (then goes to forums)
    2) return to front page
    3) click an article
    4) return once again to front page
    5) access now open to WP to write articles


    Hope this helps, Lincoln. But at least for now it is consistent and not nearly as much of a hassle as before.

    Bandrik has narrowed it down perfectly. I don't seem to be getting Kwitko's home page anymore and it is acting exactly as Bandrik described. Only thing I would add is that "2) return to front page" includes clicking "Home", Clicking the logo or using a Favorite /going straight to Icrontic.com. I also CTRL+F5 after returning to the home page and the login is not effected.

    Sounds to me like there's a WordPress caching problem... might be time to move Icrontic up to a more modern caching plugin lol

    I've had a similar issue to Bandrik's at my school's lab computers, but it hasn't ever happened from my PC.

    Something is busted about our caching plugin. Looking into it.

    Rest assured it's a cosmetic issue; no one is actually incorrectly logged in.

    No, you rest assured that for a quantum moment, I was both technocrat, wax, myself, and all other Icrontians and non-Icrontians.
