ASF Issues, Errors and Problems

No great drama but once I log in the webpage does not show I am. It does now for this session so it could be something to do with the cache. In addition, I have noticed on a few occasions when I post I am requested to log in again. I do so but by then the post is already there.

As I said no great drama (I'm patient with these matters) but it is odd but what is new about that with the good old interweb?

Just checking that all the outstsanding issues, such as login issues and the stock competition leaderboard not updating, have now been resolved.

Is everything now looking good for everyone?

Everything is working perfectly now on Google Chrome, Firefox, Maxthon6, Opera, and Microsoft Edge. Without the help of VPN - cheers
 
Brave is now working ( before and after an update just now ) and Opera has been working fine for me all the time

cheers

Could you clear your browser cache/temporary internet files and let me know if that helps. If the login issue you are experiencing is a recent problem, it should be fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any issues.
 
Thanks @Joe Blow. Worked it out. It was an addon in the browser (Firefox). Started Troubleshoot mode and went through them one by one to find the addon, now disabled, which caused the conflict.

Sorry to trouble you.

Hi Belli,
As I use FF as my preferred browser, would you be so kind as to share what Add On was causing the issue?
No biggie if you don't, thanks.

Sorry but I missed this until now. It was the Privacy Badger addon for me. I don't know how they all work together - I didn't add it actually for some reason FF included it when the browser updated. It also caused hassles with my bank's web-site. Could be specific to each site but if it's causes a PITA I don't want it

I had to work through each disabling one at a time, restart, and so on until I found it. Didn't take long but it was frustrating.
 
I recently had some minor problems with Windows 10. Some browsers and apps took a long time to open and some their components may not work.
Fixed it by opening a command prompt or PowerShell "run as an administrator" and run sfc /scannow.
 
I'm finding I can only login to ASF by using Opera with VPN connected. Without VPN it fails on Google Chrome, Firefox and Maxthon6.

Some work going on in the background and a few pages are currently being affected. No guarantees but I hope to have it all sorted out tomorrow. Apologies for the inconvenience.
 
both Brave and Dissenter ( Firefox variants ) still work fine ( without VPN ) for me

(as well as Opera )
i believe Opera is working without a VPN as well

maybe it is a Telco thing

currently i am using Optus/NBN

cheers

It appears that I'm geo-blocked and some others might be as well. Anyway it works with VPN very well.

given the nature ( and most of the content ) of this site that is very strange

BTW i am NOT saying it is impossible

maybe the powers that be fear you are plotting to make a financial success of your household economy ( and make the nation look bad )

good luck
 
ASF was recently using a Captcha system by the name of hcaptcha when new users were registering. After introducing it I noticed that registrations started to drop off. I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that perhaps it was spammers who weren't now registering accounts.

Just recently I received a message via the ASF Facebook page from a person who could not access the site at all when confronted by the hcaptcha puzzle, claiming that it could not be solved irrespective of what images were selected. So I decided to drop hcaptcha and go back to using recaptcha, and have tightened up access to ASF from overseas based visitors as a result.

So it's possible that @noirua (who is based overseas) could be having access difficulties as described. I'm glad that using a VPN assists with access to ASF and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

not exactly related to ASF , but tried to access a different site about a week ago , and between a slow internet and their captcha system i eventually gave up after several hours

sadly i most blamed the slow internet , , but maybe the anti-spamware might have been more responsible ( allow the net WAS slow everywhere that couple of days

cheer
 
I'm currently out of Australia and have not had any issues logging into the site. I haven't had to use a VPN and I use Google. I'm currently in the US. Just adding this in case it helps work through any current issues. Craig
