So far I have had this happen on Safari AND Chrome..

Im on the mac laptop right now and I login to the site (REMEMBER ME CHECKED) and then I click the sports base AND IM NOT LOGGED IN!!

I dont care what anyone says,IE6 IS 1000% BETTER THAN THIS GARBAGE!!

This crap doesnt happen on IE6 (MyIE2)


Im not on this laptop very often thankfully!!

If someone cleared history on the Mac, and didn't know what they were doing, they could have lost the cookie.

No I see whats happening now..

http://sitcomsonline.com is treated differently than WWW.sitcomsonline.com in the cookie...When I click the sports base,its going to WWW.SITCOMSONLINE even if im on http://sitcomsonline.com

I wonder if Todd could write something in the HTACCES file to point all sitcomsonline.com requests to WWW.sitcomsonline.com

Still it doesnt explain why it doesnt happen on IE6 (MyIE2)


I just checked,I went thru the base list.. All the sub bases in each section goto WWW even if your on http://sitcomsonline... It should stay on http://sitcomsonline if your on NON WWW

On the Mac, just go to Safari > Settings > Privacy, and click the Manage Website Data icon. Scroll down and delete the Sitcoms Online cookie.

Then close the tab Sitcoms is open on, and reopen. You'll probably need to repeat the Privacy thing again after logging in, but you'll then be on an up-to-date cookie.

I fixed it this way when SOL went to SSL several years ago, and I've had no problems.

There are also special instructions for clearing history, so this and certain other cookies aren't lost.

^This was assuming that Mac is using the Safari browser.

its not the browser Stevie..

Its the cookie you have..

If you come to http://sitcomsonline.com -- The cookie is for SITCOMSONLINE.COM NOT WWW.SITCOMSONLINE.COM

Todd has to point requests for NON WWW to www.sitcomsonline.com so this doesnt happen...

Any Mac laptop should work fine on this site. I've never had a problem with it on two different macs.

I don't have anything in the .htaccess file except the PHP settings. I think Cloudflare handles it. I really don't want to change anything because it might cause login problems.

I used to have this in it before. This would automatically rewrite the http links to https.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.sitcomsonline.com/$1 [R,L]

This option sets the domain on which the cookie is active. The most common reason to change this setting is that you have two different urls to your forum, i.e. example.com and forums.example.com.

It must be the version of Safari and Chrome on that laptop Todd as Stevie says his Safari doesnt drop between domains.....

Im on IE6 now and just clicked a sub base and didnt get dropped :)

See if you can take those 3 lines out again Todd... That allowed HTTP ...... I dunno if it would have any affect with cloudfare in charge but it may since it did work when ya first put cluudfare here.....

How old is the laptop. If you haven't upgraded that either, the browsers might not work correctly.

Hmmm that might be also....

It has OS10 on it (10.6.8 to be exact (I just went and looked))

I dunno anything about Macs really except they are kinda confusing to me compared to windows 98se......

What version are they up to Dead?

What version are they up to Dead?

The latest Mac OS version is 26.2. They skipped from 15 to 26, using 26 to match the year.

OS 10.6 is unsupported as of 2014. This is probably a very old Mac laptop.

10.6 was released in 2009. I have no clue why Dude simply wont update any of his hardware.

This isnt my laptop. I could probably update it though...

www.sitcomsonline.com should now automatically redirect to sitcomsonline.com . I set up the redirect in Cloudflare.

Redirect from WWW to root [Template]

URI Full wildcard r"https://www.*"

301 redirect to wildcard_replace(http.request.full_uri, r"https://www.*", r"https://${1}")

Yes I just tried going to www and it put me back on NON WWW..

Thank you buddy... I didnt wanna be a pain and keep bitching about it.. Im sorry buddy

I dont think its a good idea Todd redirecting www to non www!!

I just got 500 errors when I tried to come to www.sitcomsonline.com (It should have put me on non www)

Has anyone else gotton a 500 error today coming to www.sitcomsonline.com/boards

It worked yesterday..... It put me on NON WWW but today Im getting 500 errors and not re-directed.......

When I click a sub base that is pointing to WWW I get a 500 error also......

Why come to www when you know I changed it?

It's working fine for me. Any 503 errors aren't because of the redirect. The 503 errors are because the server is too busy.

You made a big deal out of being logged out. I did what you suggested. I can't keep making changes. I have to keep it one way which works the best for everyone.

No no buddy. It might be the proxy server im coming thru having problems with it.... It worked fine yesterday...

Ya know... This wouldnt be an issue Todd if you didnt block http for no bloody reason mate!!

Causing problems where there are none!!

I'm not blocking http. I'm redirecting http to https like the majority of sites. I don't want people who access old http links to receive the warning messages.

It wouldn't be an issue if you weren't so paranoid about being tracked. Your IP address is still being logged when you use a proxy server or VPN. When you post online, you are never truly anonymous. You know how it works.

The answer is to not use any proxy server. It's just going to slow you down.

Well it wouldnt be an issue if people didnt believe the lies and fear mongering meant to control them!!!!

No one was getting ANY WARNING HERE because all browsers were directed to HTTPS.. The only ones that werent,were older browsers like mine AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO YOUR SITE ALLOWING IT!!!

There was no reason to disable it again!!

Ah well.....I wont say anymore,I dont want ya to get mad buddy.... I sense your not happy today anyway and I dont want it to blow off on me.... I mean I love you Todd!!

Im glad your my friend!!

Well it wouldnt be an issue if people didnt believe the lies and fear mongering meant to control them!!!!

Like TJ said--paranoid!

Your right Stevie. People believe these lies and they let themselves be controlled!!

They are being boxed in and its sad.........

Dude, if it's any consolation, I've suddenly found myself logged off of this site, despite checking the "Stay signed in" box, and I used old standard Microsoft Edge. In fact, I had to re-log in this morning.

Your right Stevie. People believe these lies and they let themselves be controlled!!

They are being boxed in and its sad.........
You knew what I meant.

Yup I do buddy and your 100% right!!

The sites slow as hell right now... Usually its faster even going thru this proxy but its slow as ever right now......

For once I agree. For some reason it's overloaded with "guests."

Yes and there is only a little over 1200 guests thanks to cloudfare..

My friend Pauls site THAT DOESNT USE CLOUDFARE right now has 15282 guests and its mucho faster than here!!! (And im going thru a proxy to get there)

So he didnt have to block HTTP again and just make it harder for me to get here,thats all it did... Everything else that was happening before IS STILL HAPPENING!!

I dont wanna say anything to Todd.. I got the feeling Stevie he was not in a good mood when he replied before. I dont want him doing something mean to me because he is mad about other stuff.. (Ya know how people do that sometimes) I really love Todd and I dont wanna make things harder for him.. I have been trying to help him :)
