FTE Website Problems

I have been having major problems the last few days.

It takes many log in attempts before I can finally login. It keeps saying thanks for loggin in and then loads the page and I'm not logged in.

I have to hit refresh to see current posts on a thread or in my subscriptions in user cp.

After beeing on for a little bit sometimes I will go to a thread and am suddenly logged out.

I don't know whats going on, but its making it very difficult to use this site.

Have any of you guys been having the same thing happen?

I have recieved the message to short error before. I think you have to have 10 characters or something.

I'm still having the same issues logging in.

I used to have said issues and it would only do it when I was on the laptop and not on my work computer. Now it doesn't do that on the laptop though... Not sure what changed, but it's good now. The only difference now is when somebody links a youtube video in a post, I can't watch it unless I click the link and watch it on youtube. It won't play in the posts..

Clearing cache, cookies and temp files might correct the sign in issues.

correct. posts need to be at least 10 characters.

as far as the logging in and other site problems, put in a support ticket, and describe the problems you are having. the tech guys are trying to get the bugs out of the system, but can only do it if they know what is going on.

Yea and if they made changes in the process, likely did as all sites tend to update and change things now and then, however you're still running with older cached data in your system it can cause you issues.

Clearing it all out on a regular basis, every couple few days, you'll be sure and get/follow any changes as needed.
