Login Issue?
« on: September 07, 2022, 01:01:43 PM »
 Over the long weekend, there has been a Login issue with the forum. It has manifested in different ways for members.
It has been addressed and fixed. If you are experiencing issues, you first need to clear the cookies in you devise settings. Then go to the address bar on your devise and type in "www.65GS.com". This will give you a clean link to the forum.
 By using any previous short cuts to 65GS.com, you will end up with the Login issues.

Dear Loren and 65GS.com community,

Over the long weekend, there has been a Login issue with the forum. It has manifested in different ways for members.
. . . .


I have been encountering login problems as well.  This is the error message I am getting:

Quote
Not Acceptable!

An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.


Strangely enough, if I simply connect to the website a second time and use the login link instead of the form at the top of the page then it works.

I did try clearing my cookies and starting directly from http://www.65gs.com/, but I encountered the same error nonetheless.  Anyone else seeing this?

Cheers, Edouard

 Edouard,

  That is one of the messages that I was referring to.  Not sure why you are still receiving the message, but the forum is working as it should.

Dear Loren and and 65GS.com community,

Perhaps it was some sort of caching issue.  I logged in normally this morning.  Hopefully that's the end of it.

Cheers, Edouard

Well, it seems our problems were a result of the hosting site doing a server upgrade. Obviously, it wasn't much of an upgrade. lol
After some hours at the computer and research, Roxy finally got the hosting company to admit it was the fault of the server upgrade. She found that other websites also using the same hosting company have been having the same issues.

  Hopefully it is now behind us,

I had been getting this message for most of the past week when I try to view a message. Cleared up as of now.

I was able to get to the message board, I'm shown as a 'Guest'. When I view a message, I become logged in somehow. But with the recent issue (above) I was just getting that message when I try to view a thread.

Hope it's fixed!
