SMARTLY Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well today having logged out, forgot my password, reset password and logged back in View New Content says none found although I've just looked at 6 or 7 posts since I last logged in by looking at the forum list. On top of that where it says "I accept the use of cookies" if I click on it nothing happens and if I hover over it I see: https://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=16147&page=6 which is exactly what is in my address bar ??????

Tony Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Oh.....The link you showed just returned to this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yes, that's the point. At the top of the page is a static notification asking to accept the use of cookies. The button "I accept the use of cookies" is pointing to whatever page the user is on, not to the cookie acceptance link it's supposed to.

Tony Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've not seen that. All i get is a warning if i post anything with an image or link in it. The web-site is down saying something about cookies and redirect so it might be linked to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 If you log out and clear cookies, then log back in again then you'll get the cookies warning I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yes you only need to click the cookie link once. So if you clear your cookie history it will come back. It's never been a link to any page though it just closes the notification. I'll have to take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoy Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The php error posted on the previous page is fairly common, more so on shared hosting, and will happen no matter who your hosting provider is. I'd simply report it to your hosting company. However, the main issues I can see (redirection issues, which is causing lots of usability problems with many browsers) is *NOTHING* to do with your host, thats down to whoever supports the website. I suspect that the attempt to https the site hasn't been properly planned, and most browsers are not allowing the forced redirects. Changing hosts will not improve this (in fact, probably make it worse), you need to fix this before changing hosts. The move from http to https on www.omegaowners.com took us several months to plan and implement, involving a lot of changes before just enabled the redirect to https (that we still haven't enforced yet - but we have ensured that people going to the https site will have a good user experience). Apologies if the above sounds harsh, but I don't want you to put a load of effort in, only to get yourself in a worse condition. As currently, I don't think you understand the issue. Which means you can't fix it. And adding more unknowns (like changing hosts) into the mix only confuses the issue more. When(If) it comes to changing hosts, there are pitfalls to be aware of. Certainly we at OOF fell into some. A particular classic one was around MySQL. I suspect you too use MySQL. MySQL/MariaDB (MariaDB is a fork of MySQL) is a particularly rubbish database, but as its the M in LAMP, its what most most (non robust) web software is written to use. The standard way to backup a MySQL database in a consistent manor is mysqldump... ...which because MySQL is rubbish, locks all tables for the duration of the backup. Now, on OOF, a backup is done hourly, and a backup takes approx 15mins. That meant, until we implemented workarounds, our forum was unavailable for 15mins every hour!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can;t say i understand all that but I'm sure those here who do will appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks for that. AFAIK the site shouldn't be loading from https. The server space is shared with a couple of other sites belonging to the owner of BB. I know one has recently been redesigned and I'm wondering if they've done something which is making the site think it should load from https. The IT guys are supposed to be looking in to it.

I'm certainly experiencing a lot of http > https redirection issues on this site. To the point, I can't even get IE11 or Edge to allow me to login to the site.

Rich Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Is anyone still having issues with the website and/or forum? If you are can you post them here please. The only issue I seem to have is the website doesn't load with www but does without. I don't seem to be having any issues with the forum ATM.

Tony Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Another issue i have is if i have a post with links or images in it i have to click the "not secure" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Firefox - insecure warning but I can log in and view posts IE - I can't login, it says you don't have permission for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 How many of you are using Windows 10 and IE/Edge? I don't have those so can't see how it's behaving on them. I have OSX and Windows 7. I get the script error which is what's causing most of the problems so I need to find out the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm Windows 10 and usually ( 99% ) use Chrome. Just tried Edge and that seems fine, but tried to go back to Firefox and it's giving: Sorry, you don't have permission for that! that was not logged in, and just trying to go to forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think most if not all the issues have happened around the time when the forum was marked as insecure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
