The site

This is so bizarre. It only seems to affect certain people.

Particularly those playing TripleA.

I upgraded to SMF 1.1.21 and rebooted the server. Hopefully that does something.

I started my first triple A game a few days ago. Prior to that was not having any problems. Now have to re-log in following posting each turn - having had an error message on triple A that I simply ignore. Sometimes go through half a dozen failed log-in attempts with password not recognised.

Perhaps that ability to juxtapose problem free pre-triple A (even after new servers) with problems immediately when I began triple A will help.

It’s pretty clear that SMF is clearing the cookies when you login or post using TripleA. I’m really not sure why and the SMF code is kinda like this photo.

Djensen,

Another direction to look when you are trying to figure this out…

I find sometimes. that the posts are significantly delayed.  Sometimes a tripleA move will post out of order,  like China posts before USA.  And it can take several minutes for posts to show up.

I wonder if it has to do with file attachments, as CWO mentioned…  and delays are likely a separate issue from cookie clearing…

Alright, I did a bit of debugging with the code open.

The general logic for the TripleA poster is this:

1. Log in.
2. Wait 15 seconds to avoid getting the “you logged in less than 15 seconds ago” error.
3. Post the message.
4. Log out.

When stepping through this in the debugger, I could see that my browser wasn’t logged out until step 4.

The logical conclusion from that is that SMF now logs out all sessions a user has when you log out one of them. I tested this theory with two browsers and could verify (i.e. I logged in with both Chrome and Firefox, logged out of one of them, was logged out of the other automatically).

TripleA can probably be changed to skip the logout step, but it might not be trivial, since it probably then needs to support being able to dynamically skip steps 1 and 2 if it’s already logged in.

djensen, maybe you can check if this is a documented change in SMF, and whether there’s any way to turn it off?

I haven’t got around to checking the instable posting of game files yet.

Good work Neilsen!

A workaround for triplea is to use an alt account for posting, so your main account doesn’t get logged out. I’ve started doing that and it works fine. The only slightly annoying thing is that you get email notifications on your main account when the alt account posts, but it’s less of a nuisance than getting logged out.

It’s an annoying problem–I’m glad I’m not the only one experiencing it.

If you think you understand what is causing it (much of this is Greek to me) feel free to make use of the bug tracker to bring it to the attention of the programmers.

http://sourceforge.net/p/triplea/bugs/

So, I, like many others, get logged out every time I post a triple a map. Is there any solution?  Yet?

Thanks

100% of tripleA users are having the same problem… and it’s not going away :(

The issue in TripleA has been identified, we just need somebody to update the code.  :|

David,

It’s not tripleA, Look at bmneilsens debugging below.

Sure, there is a possibility tripleA could be recoded to improve it’s function on the forum,  but there’s a bunch of gambles and unknowns with that.

And the issue of me getting logged out on this computer, when I login on my phone, or on another computer, is still present…

It’s all server side D :(

The problem is that I don’t know how to change the forum software and it’s an easier fix to change TripleA to not logout when you’re done with posting.

@djensen:

The problem is that I don’t know how to change the forum software and it’s an easier fix to change TripleA to not logout when you’re done with posting.

But why would I want to be logged in to the forum for longer, when I only want to post a move - independently from visiting the forum?

Hey fellas. So it appears the upgrades you made to the forums have caused issues with TripleA logging users out when posting. I’ve also noticed a considerable increase in the numbers of TripleA posts that result in a failure message but successfully post to the forums.

Have you been able to determine if you can fix the issues on the forum end? If not then I’m willing to try and make changes on the TripleA side for our next release (targeting end of July).

I don’t have a fix on the forum side. Hopefully a fix on the TripleA side will work.

I went ahead and removed the logout call made to AxisAndAllies forum to avoid logging out all user sessions. I then tested playing TripleA PBF for both scenarios of being logged in and logged out on the website. It seems to work with no issues with the logout call removed. I have committed this change into the latest pre-release and the instructions for downloading/installing to test it can be found here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/AI-Development-Discussion-tp7585227.html

As a heads up, I have pretty much no knowledge of how the axisandallies forums work so I’m not sure if there are any side effects for this change. I would strongly encourage a few of you to test it out and see if any issues occur.
