I'm on a MacBook Pro and it's all good for me now. Thanks, Geoff.

SC mentioned he's gotten that same damn error again ("SQL Error: MySQL server has gone away") but I don't see it. Hopefully it was a fluke, especially since I won't be around much the next week. But if something comes up like this, please post, and hopefully I'll catch it and will be able to do something about it while I'm away.

If not, then hey, you get a week off, too! Go outside... visit a park and have a picnic... catch up on your DVR... not a bad compromise! lol

Outside?? A park?? What's that??

I'm scared.

I log in and click a page and I'm logged out again.

Never had a problem until I changed my password.

This is most likely a Cookies issue. If you can log in, please go to My Stuff > Cookies and "expire" your Gangster BB cookies. Or, you can delete all gangsterbb.net Cookies in your browser and try logging in again.

If you continue to have problems, please email me at the "Contact Us" link on the bottom-right of every page.

For the last hour or so i've been getting the bad gateway page, just wondering if it's happening to anyone else or that it's a problem with my comp?

Try clearing the cookies from the GBB.

Hello!
I'm new to this board (I've been reading it for a long time and find it very educational and entertaining!) and I wanted to post a question in one of the other forums and I'm having some trouble. I'm hoping that someone here can lend a hand. I log in and on the page with the list of forums it shows I'm logged in. When I select a forum it indicated I am NOT logged in. It also does not display the reply options or the quick reply box. I've tried logging in repeatedly but so far the only forum I can post in is this one. Is there a waiting period for new members before they can participate? Am I missing a step? Thank you for your help!

Your account is set up correctly, and there is currently no waiting time for new members, Mikey. I suggest you clear your cookies for this site. Simply go to MY STUFF (above) and then to COOKIES. Press on the EXPIRE COOKIES radio bar, and that should do the trick.

I got this a couple times today:

Resource Limit Is Reached
The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.

I seem to be having trouble staying logged in.

For the last couple of days, whenever I check in here (after turning on the computer) I find I'm no longer logged in.

I've been logging in, checking off the "remember me" box, but somehow the cookie seems to purge itself.

Not happening with any other sites I'm logged into, only here.


Signor V.

Have you tried to "purge your cookies" anyway?

The problem I mentioned in February seems to be returning. For the last few days, I keep losing my "logged in" status, sometimes in the middle of a browsing session on this site.

Don't understand what's going on.


Signor V.

I thought I was going crazy, finding myself logged-out for no reason -- but didn't notice it happening while I was reading or anything. I'm going to try expiring my cookies (My Stuff > Cookies) to see if it helps, and will report back.

It's been a couple days, and I haven't been logged out after "expiring my cookies" -- via My Stuff. Please give a shot, and report back!

For the record, after almost a week since "expiring my cookies" via this site, I haven't had a problem being logged out...

I just had to log in again just now, so I have no idea WTF is going on... will try to look into it!

Edit: You know what, I just had to log into ESPN, also, so it might be Chrome-related rather than BB-related....

I'll try to look into this further, but I'll need some info first. If you're having a problem logging in, staying logged in, or even NOT having a problem at all, please answer these questions:

1) Which browser are you using?
2) Have you tried a different browser, and how did that work?
3) Have you tried "expiring" your Cookies via the BB?
4) How often does this happen?
5) Has it happened on other websites?

As for MY experience, now and then I find myself having to log in, when in the past I was ALWAYS logged in. Chrome is my main browser, but haven't tried another browser long enough to tell if it'd happen there. It seemed to be okay for about a week after "expiring" my Cookies via My Stuff here on the BB, but I'm not sure if it's the BB itself, because the same thing happened to me at ESPN.com

That, of course, makes it difficult to track down the problem, but hopefully if a bunch of people chime in with their details, I might be able to narrow the issue down....

When I use Firefox for access it states that the site's certificate is not trusted or some other error message about the site. Have others had an experience like this? So, I can't access the Board through Firefox.

About once a week to every two weeks I get logged out. Not a big deal since my password is saved, but don't know why it keeps on happening.

See Geoff's message about this issue (about three posts above in this thread).

Well, I still have no idea why it happens, cuz it still happens to me every now and then... anyone else? Answers to the questions above might help...

when i went to the log in box ,there was a pause (abnormal) and a small box popped up that said that this was an insecure connection but showed my username,i clicked that & that's how i got on..i also pressed the different colored part of the box & it said various things about my version of firefox,which now says updated or to contact the site mod.///any clue? I dont want to mess anything up,as im computer illiterate.

Same here hoodlum, I'm on firefox too.

Testing... apparently there's currently an issue with not being able to log in -- I can't either! -- and it's apparently some virus issue on the server. I've contacted Support, so hopefully it'll be back soon. In the meantime, if you're already logged in, don't log out! --JG

Okay, it looks like I was able to log back in now... hopefully the issue is behind us, but let me know if you're still having problem logging in...

TESTING... seems to be another issue with people trying to log in and getting an error message. If this posts, then apparently those already logged in are still able to use the board......

Anyone else problems with log in? The whole day I can not log in.
I 'm still logged in on my phone though.

Still can't log in the "regular" way - through the homepage.



I'm having to use the "alternate" way of signing in mentioned in the Shout Box - by clicking on a member's name and using the sign-in box on that page. The only thing is that you can't stay signed in with this method and I have to sign in again every time I come back to the GBB.



Signor V.

FYI... I'm still waiting for the web host to fix our log-in issues after the server migration. In the mean time, you can click on someone's profile name and log in that way. Sorry for the inconvenience!
