Anyone Else Experiencing This W/ The Site

unfortunately, neither works for me. :-/ however, I'm relieved that I'm not the only person with this problem.

btw, love the chrono trigger avatar. ;)
 
But it's really strange that only some people are affected, if it is a problem with the mixed use of HTTPS and HTTP. :|
I'm still experiencing this bug today.
 
Likewise.
The site admin should change the base url to the https, and redirect all http requests to https.
 
But then that means the lack of support for TLS isn't the problem. Why do you think it is an issue?
Chrome may reject the use of mixed content, but we're not getting blocked content here. We're just having our sessions terminated by the server, for some reason. I've seen my cookies get updated to expire (where expires on = now).
 
It is possible that something is MITMing you and changing your cookies. Have you tried a VPN or proxy so that your connection gets routed elsewhere?

Here's what the site looks like with HTTPS:

I think the copying and pasting issue, which I've experienced myself, is due to a bug with xenforo in general, 'cause I've noticed it a few times on gbatemp too. it's some sort of coloring problem where the background and text are the same color.

It's due to xenforo saving formatting, which disregards the current color of the theme. I'm not sure if the "ctrl-shift-v" shortcut works which will allow you to paste without formatting. If that doesn't work, a workaround would be to paste the text as usual, highlight the offending text, then click the button with a T with an x to it on the right side of the toolbar.

Given that other people have no such problem, I am willing to bet that using a VPN or even just a different port number would solve it. But even if it is caused by my network having some routing/caching issue, that is not a permanent solution IMHO. psx-scene also gave me this same problem for quite a while, although the issue disappeared at some point.


I doubt it is really a MITM attack because:
  • Who am I, to be a valuable target.
  • What is the purpose of such a move, which causes nothing more than an inconvenience.
  • Why am I only affected on this particular website.
  • Why am I affected on both my mobile connection (which gives a different IP address) and my wired connection at home? However, I am using the same ISP for both mobile and the wired connections.
  • Checking the "remember me" check box works around the issue.

EDIT: Please disregard what I wrote about cookies expiring.
I just found out that some cookies like _gat, are deployed for Google Analytics. That cookie is meant to expire after a minute.

Xenforo is just returning code 301 and issues a new session cookie, whenever my session expires.

Fair enough, but I still think that this is another thing that the admin(s) may want to look into. Here, there is some issue with state management, which I doubt is related to what you want.

The copy+paste bug only seems to affect this website. I've been on another website that uses Xenforo, and I don't remember anything like that happening.

I just tried CTRL+SHIFT+V and I could paste your quote here, with no issue. Thanks for the tip.

Does something change in others config?

I'm asking because currently everything is fine on my side.
I mean, coping, cutting works, site no more logs me out, etc.
 
well, I'm going to see how the site acts with me not checking the keep signed in button. so far, so good.

edit: nm, it did it again when I refreshed. it wasn't kicking me off when switching pages.

For two weeks everything was fine,
now all of a sudden this issue is back?! :concern:

Only "keeps me login in" seems to help.
 
I always log in manually and always click in the checkbox for "keep me logged in"
And i never had this problem, in different pcs and different operative systems, for me works normally
