If you receive the 'Invalid' message when attempting to log in, please try instead to log in via the Forum index page:

index.php

Scroll to the bottom of the above page and you can log in from there.

Let me know how you get on.

For the record, We're still investigating the issue.

Negative on my side too guv'nor.

However is this not happening at the same time each day? This could be a red herring, but it seems around about lunchtime and into the early afternoon I get the error, either when logging in or where I am logged in on my phone I can't post. Come 4 ish its okay and I can log in and make this post.

Latest thing for me is I'm seeing a "We Value Your Privacy" message every time I click on a screen.

Make sure you're using https, not http.

ie

Code: Select all

https://www.kumb.com/forum/
Check your bookmarks too. Update any that begin http and not https. And also clear your browser's cache/cookies for KUMB.

I've updated the OP in this thread with the current solution. This should resolve the issue for everyone.

Without wishing to tempt fate, the invalid form message has gone away over the last couple of days.

However, now I get logged out virtually every time I change from one forum to another (I would have said "every" rather than "virtually every", but it didn't happen coming into this forum, which I think is the first time over the last day or 2 when I haven't been logged out

Try the fix in the OP if it returns, Kludge. This is 99.9% down to your browser and caching/cookies.

Manually updating all old bookmarks and links to https has solved the complete headfuck of “we respect your privacy” on my iPhone :newthumb:

Wish the ads weren’t auto playing with sound though.

Problem seems to be fixed for me in the last few days. Had a good moan when it wasn’t working, so seems only fair to give some positive feedback :smiler: :scarfer:

Have you followed every step in the OP of this thread accurately, Pete?

Your post suggests you're either viewing a cached version of the site or logging in via http, not https.

The fix worked OK for a couple of days, but the invalid form problem is back again. I cleared cache, deleted cookies, closed browser, tried to log in from the forum list page and it still wouldn't let me in. Left it for an hour, now it's let me in again
