For a few months I had trouble with extras in this forum, could not thank and a bunch of other stuff.
After the third time disabling Ad Bloc it cleared up.

However now my log in is weirding out. It will not accept my original attempt but defaults to the second page. I log on fine but then get this

Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.debatepolitics.com/)

Which is fine, but I have to log on each time

There is a simple fix for the redirect issue.


See this thread, post # 5 and #9.

Or just edit your bookmark:

What I've been doing is: after logging in and it doesn't seem to stay loaded in the system even after I check the "remain logged in" square (or whatever it says), I click on any link on the site and it pops up, showing my name, like my login has been saved. Beats the hell out of me why it's acting weird.

Or I hit "log off" and re-enter my name and password...it sticks????

But it is a problem.

Actually there's been a few other odd things that have been going on, like it'll keep me from posting a reply and shows message above the main message box "2485 seconds before you can post again." :shrug:

Well, looks like Excon just showed a fix in post #2.

Answer is in the second gray box above you post. ^^^^^^^^^

You mean about clearing cookies and re-logging in?

What makes you think i haven't done that?

I have also tried to clear memory and past entries and run the whole package through a trouble shooter and been on line with my tech.

For the record I sweep for cookies and spyware weekly

Did you sweep your bookmarks on your browser.

Just sayin' cause it worked for me.

First thing I do when I run into any problem. Ran C.CLeaner and Super Anti-spyware.

This began happening after the site was shut down for a day. I don't think there is anything I can do from my end...the lack of a response from a tech tells me it ain';t fiaxable.

Growing tire of this site because of **** like that

You're lucky. When it won't let me post a reply, it is usually something like 16,000+ or more seconds before I can post again. :)

It's crazy. Mine started working again. :shrug: Have you logged off - if you have the "remember me" checked? Then look log back on?

The solution was given to you in post #2.
 
I guess I didn't stress this, but it's already https:

No, you hadn't stressed that in this thread or in the other thread.

You actually said in that other thread that you didn't quite understand the solution being spoken about.


We converted to SSL over the weekend. If you're logging in via http:// instead of https:// you'll continue to receive the invalid URL. This should straighten itself out at some point and we are aware of it.

Thanks
I have no idea what any of you is talking about, I have no idea where to put the https and based on experience will probably screw it up.

It occurs to me it happened to a widespread group all at the same time, meaning something changed in the process. My thinking is that individuals applying a fix may be a problem down the road and better is fixing it where the problem occured
I am hassle intolerant and may simply change sites


Don't get me wrong here, I am actually trying to help.


I see you understand that it was a widespread issue, so you should understand why I find it odd, that you, who were experiencing the same end result as everybody else, at the same time as everybody else, was not fixed by the same thing that fixed everyone's else's issue.
That is a highly unusual proposition as it is far more likely to have been caused by the same thing and not something different.

Currently the issue with the redirect still exists and generates the same message. This is, if you are being redirected from http instead of https. (I tested it)

As sometimes things do not take when we do them, I am going to suggest you again check any and all your bookmarks you use to access DP.

Simply right click on the book mark and select properties. Once that opens up you should be able to tell if your previous attempt took, and if not, edit it in that open properties box by adding the s on to the http and then saving it.

If for some reason this does not fix your issue, delete any and all old DP book marks you use to sign-in, and create new book marks. This should solve your issue.

The above worked.
