    Trouble logging in

    Started yesterday. Usually I do not have to enter my user ID and password. I am able to go straight to the forums. Yesterday the forum did not recognize me and I had to log in. The first attempt at logging in brought up an error message. Logged in a second time using same ID and password and it said thank you for logging in. Now every time I go to Sawmillcreek.org I have to log in twice. The first time I get an error message the second time it goes through with no problem.

    Am I the only one seeing this?

    Thanks, Bob

    I have had the same issue since yesterday. I thought it was just me.

    When I clear cookies, etcetera and need to log in, I always need to log in twice. The logging in twice has been happening since the upgrade.

    Clear the existing sawmillcreek.org cookie(s), close the browser completely (and consider rebooting the machine and then start the browser followed by logging in with the box checked to remember you. Be sure you are using HTTPS to access the site, too.

    Same problems here.
    Funny thing is if I don't login and go to a forum link it shows my name at the head of the page just as if I had logged in.
    I tried yesterday to log in with no success. Requested user/name password and have never gotten the email reply.
    You only need 2 tools in life. If it's supposed to move and doesn't... use WD40. If it moves and shouldn't... use duct tape.

    No joy. I have cleared all cookies, Chrome cookies specific to SMC, rebooted and hard booted. Still have to log in twice with the first attempt showing the error screen. I will get a screen shot of the error screen and post it.

    It is fixed. I deleted the shortcut I was using to go to SMC and created a new shortcut. Just tried it three times and it worked as expected each time. The error message I was getting prior was the Invalid Redirect listed in the Sticky's above.
