you might want to put something about the forums on the main page

hi ...

we are aware that this is a problem, but it would be really helpful if anyone who experienced this issue could tell us what error message they were getting.
 
I got pwned by that too. I was kicking myself when I realize how easy it was. day 5: "hmm I cant see that their forums would have issues for that long, maybe if I clear my cookies..."

Odd the software would do that though, normally properly coded software would just ignore or clear invalid cookies.

ding ding ding WINNAR!
 
yep, but what happened when you tried to go to the forums -- did you get a fusetalk error (the "oops" page), did you get a different error, or did something else happen altogether?

Derek, I think all the people having problems getting in are getting the oops error. It doesn't matter what browser you are using either. They changed the way Fusetalk handles cookies in this latest release and I think that unless you cleared your cookies you won't be able to access the forums.
 
Yeah was getting the oops error. That error indicated it was a problem with the forums, not with me. Well technically its both, but to fix it I had to do something, which it should have indicated.
 
I think it's still a cookies related error. This morning I was logged on, and in FF and IE7, I was getting the Oops error. Gave it a couple minutes, same thing. I switched my KVM over to another computer and and I could access just fine.
 
Same thing happened to me with no access error. I combed the main Anand page and there was no info on any problems.
 
I think who ever installed this software should get their ass kicked. j/k 😛

My IE6' was acting up, basically had no graphics on any pages, just the text. tried clearing cookies but it was taking forever for it to log back in. firefox still has the issue with the posts disappearing about 50 posts into a thread. I had to close the IE6 after clearing cookies and bring it back up before that started working again. this is getting frustrating.
 
Yes, it was an OOPS error .. I had it myself for a few days .... Odd thing was it only happened on
one of my computers and both have the same XP Home with SP2 and Firefox 2.0.x browsers,
both have Opera 9.x (which worked ok with the site) .. my laptop still has IE6 and had no issue
with Firefox and the new forum. My other pc has IE7 and Firefox did have the error message until
I deleted all cookies related to Anandtech ... then it worked ok in Firefox
