Cookie error causing forced logouts

[theditz83]

There's been a fundamental flaw on the site for over 3 months now whereby at random times, I'll try to view my notifications or a PM, or reply in a thread and I'm just greeted by the below annoying message...

Even more annoying, I cannot log out as when I click on my profile link, it just shows me the same error message over and over and over again (the above example this morning had actually logged me out before I started seeing the error message when clicking log in, forcing a cookies/cache reset). I need to manually delete my cache and cookies from Chrome each time, refresh the page so it forceably logs me out and then I can log back in again. It's soooo annoying!!

As you can see, this is mainly affecting me on my Chrome browser on Android, but it has happened once before on Chrome desktop on my laptop too, so I figure there's something amiss with the website code itself.

This might be due to the http:// version, try add https:// before the link

That's not it, as I have the hyperlink for the forum saved and it's https://

It doesn't happen all the time - heck I just had about 8 days of solid forum access and usage without getting the error at all, but now it's back and worse than ever (just had to clear cookies and log back in again to post this message, for example!!!)

@Matt @Sean this is still an ongoing issue for me - it's every 2 or 3 days it's happening, and I'm getting a little tired of having to clear my cache/cookies to gain access to the forum again. Once again, no other website that requires me to login and accept cookies is throwing up any issues and forcing me to reset anything.

I'm posting this from Chrome, so it's not the forum.

Could be your anti-virus software, adblocker or faulty browser (re-install Chrome or delete its storage, long tap on Chrome's shortcut, tap on "i" in the upper right corner, "Storage" and go to memory, you can clear cache there too... it can erase your bookmarks and other data, so make a back up)

I assume you have played with these settings:

Mine is in Incognito mode.

Does the problem still exist after you tap on "PC version"?
