Now need to login twice on the forum.

[sub3R]

Does anyone have any idea why I would now need to login twice (both Username & Password twice) on this forum to quote posts? Also sometimes the same when just accessing the beta sub-forum. I've noticed this for a few weeks now.

Is it my system or has there been some forum changes made? I don’t have any problems like this at other sites or forums.

I had to update my login to https:// to get back to auto login using Chrome.

Thanks Paul, so far that seems to have been the fix.

I'm getting this problem again & I've been using; https://beyonwiz.com.au/forum/ to access the website.

The “The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again” message seems to happen fairly regularly.

Using Firefox 67.0.4 64bit on Win10 Pro 64bit 1809.

Any clues anyone?

I had the invalid form problem with Chrome on Linux, but Firefox was ok.

Both are fine from my Windows machine.

[sub3R]

Thanks. It could be this laptop then which isn’t my main laptop.

My main Win10 Home 64 laptop suffered from some very bad corruption & the HDD has that many bad sectors plus other problems I’m going to do a new install on a new HDD.

This will happen if you start a post (or a reply) and don't preview (or submit) the form for a while.

You may want to logout of the forums and clear all the cookies you have for "*.beyonwiz.com.au", then login again.

IIRC just submitting again will work.

I don't get any message about invalid forms, but I do find that I need to login twice when using Chrome on my work computer. For a long while there I couldn't login at all using Firefox, but I managed to login successfully last night so I assume that problem has been fixed.

IIRC just submitting again will work.

In my case at least it doesn't. Half a dozen attempts with the same result (to make sure I hadn't Trevor'd the password).

I haven't tried a cookie cleanup yet....it was low on my list of to-dos, but will give it a go when I get a chance.

I think it has done it then. My user pattern may be different to other users; I usually don’t log-in to read posts, I only log-in if I want to post or access the T/U series Public Beta forum.

I found the error message appears randomly if I have been reading posts then decide to log-in to post something. Running CCleaner to clear cookies etc. seemed to have fixed that at this stage - thanks for that suggestion.

The other time I get the error message is when I have been reading posts without logging in & then click on the T/U series Public Beta forum which gives the option to log-in. If I then log-in at that option I get the “The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again” message. Logging in again allows access. This still happens with both Firefox & IE 11 after clearing cookies. It looks like I need to get out of this particular habit.

Interesting about other user experiences. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm almost always logged in when I read posts. Some of the forums I most want to read are only accessible when I'm logged in (Public Beta and all the "Beta Testers Only" forums).

[sub3R]

I think that is why I’m getting caught (logging in after reading posts). I never have this problem on other various forums I use, but perhaps they aren’t as secure.

I just got bit by the example that peteru previously gave & just then when I tried to log-in to post this.

You also need to make sure that you always use the https: protocol when using the forums. One stray bookmark that only has http: will stuff things up. Basically any transition between the two protocols is treated like a new session.

[sub3R]

Yes, understand that. I’ve been using https:// for quite some time now. Although when I started using this particular laptop a couple of weeks ago because of the failure of my main laptop, the bookmark for beyonwiz website was http:// which I promptly changed to https://.
