StarDestroyer.Net BBS

Hello, everyone. I apologize for being remiss in maintenance duties. I updated the board software to version 3.2.2. Please let me know if there are continuing problems, as I am hoping any problems that had been cropping up were due to the software being out of date.

Had to completely erase all my cookies to get in. Laptop with Chrome

I can't stay logged in. I can log in after clearing all cookies but then I get reset back to the front page and logged back out by the system after clicking on a couple links. Hopefully I can get this message to post before the system kicks me back out.

Like wise, had to clear cookies, was able to log in, we'll see if it lasts.

In firefox mobile on android, the cookie clearing has to be done via the browser, not the site, which is problematic because said version does not retain the fine-grain control of cookies that the desktop version has.

ucp.php?mode=delete_cookies

That link might help.

Deleting cookies via browser (Chrome) seems to have fixed it for keeps

Even after clearing cookies, when I try to log in it says "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again, or clearing your browser cookies."

I can log in in a private window.

I got logged out at home and get the same errors. And since I hate the black look and prefer the light theme, it seems there are some bugs in that now. No forum names in the navigation bar at the top, only board index.

new account as logged out and couldn't remember password and old email lost to me.

But that crazy long string 'cheoose middle five chars' - well fuck anyone dyslexic or using a screen reader?

I'm having the same issues in Firefox, I can only log in using a private window.

Chrome seems to be working fine after clearing all cookies.

Interestingly, was not able to login from mobile. and the choose middle five chars captcha does not show on moible either.

Can you email bbs @ stardestroyer.net? I’ll get you fixed up.

Is the board slow to anyone else atm, for me the board is really slow to load and seemed fully down earlier.

It was fully down all of last night.

Sorry, that problem in late August was due to another extended power failure. Speaking of which, there will be another outage this Friday, due to building maintenance.

Also, I just updated the board software, so feel free to let me know if there are any problems.

Chrome is telling me the security certificate expired 265 days ago.

OK, I fixed that. Please let me know if anything else crops up.

This isn't technically a board software problem, but the Imperial Wiki seems to have lost all of its formatting and edit functions. The sidebar isn't to the side, and the top bar that has user functions is just gone along with editing, links to talk pages, the works. It seems to affect every page, but this is both the article I was looking at when I noticed and illustrative since I know it was properly formatted and hyperlinked (since I did a lot of it myself). I don't think it's on my end, since it was replicated by a couple of people on the Discord when I first noticed.

The security certificate has expired again.

It's (so far) always 15 characters; I find counting 5 in and then 5 more is easier. Hopefully that helps any future readers!

That’s on me, sorry. Lots of spammers.

Mike updated this.

Was the board down for anyone else for most of today?
