Tapatalk issues for me as well. Not seeing any updates in subscribed topics or watched threads. In addition seeing the not allowed to post reported upthread.

A bunch of the http: links were living in my browser's list of autosuggest URLs. Purging them cleared this up for me. (the exact key combination to do this depends on browser and OS).

Came here to see what was up with NSF constantly logging me out. My NSF routine is to type "60", "55", etc. into the URL bar and let it suggest the index.php?board=XX.0 address that is the forum section of interest. All those were http links, and have now been replaced with https. Thanks launchwatcher!

Chris B / NSF, during a slow period in the next day, it might be worth sending out a tweet about this. Most folks don't know to look here.

I'm having the same problem. Anything wrapped in strikethrough tags is just appearing as normal text.

Has anyone else been having the problem that every time you want to make a new post in any of the forums; you have to login to NSF again? It's not just on my pc - this happens on my tablet and phone as well.

Check out the forum feedback thread. The short version is that the forum moved to SSL. If you have bookmarks you need to replace HTTP with HTTPS in all of the addresses.

MATTBLAK · « **Reply #67 on:** 02/04/2018 10:50 pm »

I replaced all the bookmarks, but it made no difference. And if one is using predominantly a Firefox browser; how is the new format for bookmarks achieved - automatically?! Potentially a layman's question that, but I'm finding the constant re-logging in a real headache. I had to re-login yet again to post this!

EDIT: I see that the new bookmark(s) are in fact https but when I return to it later - even if only 60 seconds on, login is required again - sometimes immediately. Same goes for tablet and phone browsers.

I keep getting logged out of multiple sites not just here with Firefox for the last couple of months with the new Quantum version.

MATTBLAK · « **Reply #69 on:** 02/04/2018 11:23 pm »

That may be but I'm constantly logged out on Chrome browser, too.

Yes, happened to me too. I'm also on Firefox. I fixed it by getting rid of old NSF visits from my browsing history, that way only https hits were brought up (also need to change bookmarks to https if you're using them). To do that either clear your whole history or open up "Show
All..." and in the search bar at the top type in "forum.nasaspaceflight.com". Then just delete any that start with http instead of https.

I just wanted to add for info that this has occurred to me on two different PCs and not just one isolated system... If we can't fix it, how is one to party!

Clear out your cache, check all your bookmarks, then log in. This was happening to others. If you can't get it sorted, take it to the forum feedback thread...

https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=44520

However, if it's something that happens in one browser, at multiple sites, it's the browser, not the sites. Use another browser to conifrm/deny the issue.

MATTBLAK · « **Reply #73 on:** 02/05/2018 02:03 am »

It's all browsers, Lar. Well; I haven't tried it on Internet Explorer, but I haven't used that in years...

EDIT: I tried several days ago to get an answer by PM-ing a couple moderators - but I received no reply.

Lar · « **Reply #74 on:** 02/05/2018 02:03 am »

I used < s > instead of [ s ] as a workaround.. glad that's sorted.

Party thread has a fair few people reporting they are still having to log in every time they move around, and claiming they cleared bookmarks, caches, etc, and are using the https: version. Directed them here but...

https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=42585 ... half dozen or so posts at the tail end of the last page.

Lar · « **Reply #75 on:** 02/05/2018 02:06 am »

Matt: For you. For RS, all sites, one browser.

I cross posted to the thread I think this should be raised on, which I linked in my last post, that people here are reporting issues. Hopefully that helps. I don't have details on implementation but know that my own errors went away when I cleared cache and checked URLs carefully to ensure they were https....

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #76 on:** 02/05/2018 02:13 am »

1) No point cross posting. Everything should be in the feedback threads, so I've moved it here.

2) Matt is the only person, since Mark fixed it, to note an issue since. If it was a number of people, it would be the site. One person and it's local.

3) Mark has forced https through on http, so bookmark references are now irrelevant.

MATTBLAK · « **Reply #77 on:** 02/05/2018 02:14 am »

I've been following your suggestions to clear all cache, history etc. There IS an improvement, but it's still buggy. I create a general bookmark that pins all my posts as a user, and regularly go back to check on responses - I prefer not to have alerts for replies and follow-up posts as it can potentially fill your email inbox with notifications. In other words; I prefer a manual control of my alerts and follow ups with a simple click of the bookmark and open some tabs for quick scanning of content. One of the best things that's ever been improved on this whole website is speeding up the frequency of being able to like posts

because some of us can read pretty quickly.

...working better now as the cookies/cache etc builds up familiarity with the site. Many thanks. Also; It wasn't just me having this problem, that's a fact.
