Difficulty logging in on m.boards

Mr Magners

My account is automatically logged out when inactive for a while on m.boards.ie on my Blackberry, thats not a problem I want it that way. The difficulty arises when I try to log in again, it takes 3-4 attempts to get back in each time.

1st attempt after entering username and oassword message on screen "invalid_redirect_url_x", with the log-in boxes underneath that message

2nd attempt after entering username and password message on screen same as above, without the log-in boxes but with option to Log Out? Doesn't make sense when I'm not logged in!

Select Log Out

Message on screen "All cookies cleared" with login boxes available again also option to return to page I was previously viewing or Go to forums index

3rd time then to enter user name and password I get back in


Any ideas what causes this and can I do anything to fix it. I'm not making any errors with username or password in case that might be a suggestion.

Thanks.

Mr Magners

Just wondering if anyone's had a chance to look at this query?

Fago!

The exact same thing happens to me. It's been that way for a while. Im not on a blackberry though. Very frustrating.

The reason I missed this thread for so long is because Site Bugs go in Site Development.

There are several issues here:

1) The cannot find phrase error - this is resolved, I added the missing phrase so now you'll have at least some meaningful error should this happen again

2) Why it happens - There is a security feature that means you cannot use the redirect feature (which is used after you log in) to redirect to a site that's not whitelisted. m.boards.ie was not whitelisted, however by chance we saw this crop up on another subdomain today and I have a fix for it ready to be deployed.

3) Skipping over the first two issues, lets say they don't resolve the problem - despite the fact you have received the error invalid_url_redirect_x, it occurs after logging in. So you are logged in, forget about the error and go to another page (e.g. the home page) and it will work.

Mr Magners

It's fixed!!

Thanks Danny.
