Question

Hope we're not back to the login nightmare

I am perfectly aware that the forums have not been functioning at their best these last days. And I sincerely hope that coming in and finding that one is not logged has been a temporary glitch associated with the ... shall we call them unstabilities? Nearly a full year logging in after half an hour of inactivity and after any closing of my browser was more than enough for me.

    Bill,

    Rick actually said:

    Now I'm sure some of you will come back to this and say something along the lines of "But I never ever log out!". And if that's the case, I really have no explanation. Only Adobe and Jive can truly say what is what. The rest is just speculation.

    And that was the case, as you can see from posts #11 & 12.

    Maybe (part of) the key to what actually happens, or not, is the following:

    It is funny how you can enter the forums and look round, look at threads and everything, as logged out, and then suddenly you are logged in normally.

    I would be one of those people that never log out for any reason. I just go on and read other mail or to another Web site as needed. (I use SeaMonkey so I can istantly switch email to web Browsing).

    But I never ever log out!

    Just as during the recent big outage(s), I had been logged in every time I opened the browser previously, then found myself logged (or locked) out, only this time others were obviously logged in and posting; others round me over here that was, I am unsure whether I saw anyone over there logged in.

    Yes, I would try to log in on the 20th but would only get "Page not Available" in multiple languages.

    Works OK today.

    The login portal was down for about 12 hours in London, UK.

    Some twelve hours ago I was unable to log in (Site unavailable) for a few hours; others over here were able to post about an hour before I was. After that everything was normal.

    Well, seems that I was not the ONLY one.

    During the "outage" that I encountered (MST - Western US), I did notice that some users in the UK, Europe, and even one in the US, but in the Central TMZ, were able to log-in and post, and that worried me greatly. Not that many, but enouh posts to familiar product forums, that I noticed they were posting, when I could not????

    Things seem OK, here in the MST - USA today, but like Rick, my fingers are well X'ed.

    I am guarantee I will be jinxed by saying this. But I have not had a sign issue since a year or two ago when I had to log out of forums log out adobe. Then remove Cookies. Then log into adobe.com then to the Forums.  At the time "everyone" was having an issue.  seems adobe screwed up the sign-in server when they switched to Jive.

    Hi all

    As for seeing other posts I think the issue was this. If you were logged in and had not logged out you were okay. But if you logged out and later tried to get in, you were hosed. So those folks posting during this period had likely logged in prior to the problem and had not logged out.

    Now I'm sure some of you will come back to this and say something along the lines of "But I never ever log out!". And if that's the case, I really have no explanation. Only Adobe and Jive can truly say what is what. The rest is just speculation.

    Cheers... Rick

    But, after being for the first year of the new forums the only one that was logged out every half hour and after each browser shutdown, I have never ever logged out or had to log in again until now! And I certainly wouldn't like to repeat that experience, that's why I opened this thread.

    I was hoping for a couple of lines saying "The forums were down for xxx hours because of zzz. Sorry for the inconveninence.", and I find it most disturbing that we haven't received anything of the sort, just all kind of speculations. We may be mere users, but we do deserve some respect. After all, it's from people like us that Adobe gets profits.

    Hi Claudio

    I think Adobe was doing something on their main site yesterday. And it appeared to affect the forums. I know I was unable to log in as was one of my buddies in England.

    The good news is that it appears to be fine today. So we shall keep our fingers crossed!

    Cheers... Rick
