Forums > Site Announcements > Bug squashing

So, a few of you will have by now encountered an occasional error that has been popping up around the site for a few months now. Basically, you will submit a form of some sort (such as a submission or a forum reply) and you will receive a notice that you're not signed into your account.

This is a frustrating error and has impacted site staff in particular, but I seem finally to have figured out the cause and the solution. I've fixed it where I know it exists, but if you encounter the issue in the future, please sign out of your account and back in and then try again. If you still encounter the error, please let me know the URL of the page you were viewing before the error, and provide a description of the event. Then I can fix it.

I am hopeful that I actually have squashed the most common--or maybe all--instances already, and you won't encounter it again. But if you do, at least now I know how to fix it and prevent future issues on the offending page. Thanks!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Nice work. I was starting to think it was just me.
