That suggests you're logging in via http NOT https, Kludge.

Do you use bookmarks to access KUMB? Check your link/s.

My bookmark is set to access via https and that's the only way I access the site

I had this issue again yesterday like Kludge. Did the usual and didn't work, come back 20 minutes later and all was fine, thats been the only time since the original fix.

Out of interest UtJ, any reason why the site doesn't auto redirect to https ?

Your post suggests you're either viewing a cached version of the site or logging in via http, not https.
Yes. I was already using https, but I double checked to make sure. Have been clearing the cache and data related to KUMB whenever I get shut out. I continue to not be able to log on at all from my peripherals, and maybe once a day from my imac. I don't know if this is related, or something separate, but recently when I am able to log on form my imac, I get logged out after a very short period of time, maybe 5 minutes tops.

I keep getting this on and off both logging on and posting. Clearing cache doesn't always work, sometimes I have to go away and come back later and it's clear itself.

Happening again this morning. I log in and make a very short reply, one or two sentences, hit send and get sent to the log in window. The reply does not appear on the thread, and what I typed is lost. It happens after I get an 'invalid' attempt when logging in before I log in successfully from the home page.

This sounds like a caching issue, Pete. Have you got cookies enabled? Using https?

I am having the problem in Firefox and Chrome. Just used Opera and it let me log in.

I was logged in on firefox but went to post a reply. when it happened. I logged out cleared cache and cookies but now it won't let me log back in. Was using https too.

EDIT:

I know it is absolutely physically impossible.... but since I logged in on Opera, I tried to log in with firefox and it worked.

Privacy note appears every time I rejoin the site, click on a new thread, or new page of the same tread. Cache cleared, history cleared, restarted (repeated the process twice) and using https version to log in. Safari, OS 12.0.1.

Love the content, site is almost unusable.

I suggest you repeat the steps in the opening post in this thread, in the order listed.

For the record, the privacy notice will appear if your cache has been emptied and therefore doesn't have a record of you having previously accepted it.

If it repeats on every page, that is because your browser has caching disabled or you are accessing the site via a URL starting with the http prefix, not https.

Can't even log in now. Wouldn't let me post on my laptop, usual Invalid sh*te comes up, so I followed all the instructions from the first page.
Cleared cache and cookies, restarted browser, followed correct link to log in and it says Invalid form on the log in page

Same here, then i tried quoting your post & it worked.....back to the VAR thread to try it there!
PS: Everything back to normal after posting the quote, not sure if it was a coincidence?

PC is OK but get this issue with the tablet, I was missing parts of the game today trying to sort it out so just gave up. No site I go on gives me as much grief as this one, even xhamster purrs along nicely in comparison and that place must be riddled with all manner of nastiness.

The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again. A pox on all your houses......

For the first time in weeks it returned for me after the game (1736 uk time to be precise)
Nothing changed at my end, same bookmark, same browser, vpn etc.

Just tried every few minutes and now works some 20 minutes later.

Been happening a lot recently, including when logging in. Clearing cache doesn't work a lot of the time and usually just need to leave/come back.

Used a completely new browser today and still didn't work.

Been plagued with "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again" errors this morning. Followed all the delete cookies, cache and re-login advice, but that also got me the same error on the login page. Left it for about 30 minutes, and it started working again - this is from the same instance of Firefox, no changes made since the last failed attempt.
