Is something wrong with the wiki login?

Xyne · 2009-11-29 23:16:57

After trying to log in three times and being told that my password was wrong (it wasn't), I clicked on the "wiki" link and saw the links to "Xyne", "My talk" and all the others that you can only see when logged in. If I navigate to a page, e.g. powerpill, I see the "Log in / create account" link again and am unable to edit the page. Clicking on "wiki" gets me back to where I was before with the aforementioned links. I can also access preferences but when trying to save them I'm told that I need to log in.

I've never had a problem before but just to be sure, I've enabled cookies, scripts and cross-site requests globally yet I still can't edit a file.

Has anyone else had this problem? I don't know if this is a transitory problem with the wiki (someone tweaking the code perhaps), my setup, or a general wiki problem.

No problem here. I logged in straightaway... Can edit pages etc.

After restarting Firefox and then enabling everything globally again, I am able to edit pages but now when I click on "wiki", it doesn't show the logged-in links. e.g. "Xyne", "My talk", etc. I can see them when I navigate to a page though.

There's definitely something funky going on with the wiki.

I am having an issue which is similar in that I also cannot edit pages. I recently created an account on the wiki, and have had several emails sent to confirm my email address. I've confirmed my email address three times now, to no effect. I still cannot edit pages due to this error:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
You must confirm your e-mail address before editing pages. Please set and validate your e-mail address through your user preferences.

Is this the same error you get?

@theapodan
No, I do not get that error.

I now seem to be able to log in and edit pages, but some pages still claim that I am not logged in. As long as I can edit I don't really mind, but of course it would be better if it just worked as expected.

I have the same problem as Xyne here. What's going on? I'm using Chrome on Windows 7.

Yeah, the chrome on is a bug (been fixed in newer releases of chromium). Never seen this in Ff though.

I am also seeing some funny problems with the wiki while trying to change my email address and password.

If I change my email address and click "save", I receive an email with a link I must click. After clicking the link, Firefox loads a tab saying that my email address has been confirmed. If I navigate back to the preferences page, my email address hasn't changed.

When I click on the change password link, I see the change password form and enter my old password and desired new password. After clicking the change password button, I'm told that I must be logged in to change user preferences. Obviously, I was logged in to get to the preferences page in the first place.

I've tried every combination of refreshing pages (while holding shift to force a reload) and logging out/in but I can't make it work..

I should mention that this is in Firefox 3.5.5 from the repos on x86_64.
