Hi RacingPete,

I'd like to report a double posting bug.

Another hand up in support of the original mobile site. The new one certainly seems more mobile oriented in functionality (swipe down to refresh) but the skin isn't nearly as nice to view as the original.

I am using Vista on a desktop PC.
Everything is fine if I go onto the site via Chrome.
I cannot log in if I try with Internet Explorer.
Any ideas?
I have just uninstalled Chrome and everything works
perfectly with Internet Explorer. I can only think
that having Chrome installed was causing some sort
of conflict.

Still the same for me too (Safari).

The login issue appears to be fixed for me. I had to explicitly log out, then restarted browser, logged in and checked "Remember me".

However, the P.H.O'Meter is still horribly broken. As well as failing with the PH logo and the "Sorry an error has occurred" message, it also messes up the formatting of all the other text on the page.

I reset my password - with the same password - and it works fine.

The problem with doing that is it's really tedious.

When you try to log in, does absolutely nothing happen?

That's my problem. I try to log in on IE11 with Windows 7 on my PC at work and nothing happens (nothing, zero, not a sausage) so clicking Remember Me does nothing. If I reset, I don't have the opportunity for the system to remember. So, next session, I have to reset my password and come in through my email and the link PH send.

Nightmare.
FIXED.

Bosh. Straight in.

Thanks very much one and all.

Still cant log on on my Mobile, this has effectively excluded me from the forum for nearly 3 weeks now, trouble is guys, I have broke the habit of coming on here now, This is something you really need to sort out because you are going to lose members over it.

Are you still trying to log in on the mobile site - mobile.pistonheads.com? This no longer works, you need to use www.pistonheads.com now.

Switching the skin to 'Beta2' in My Preferences makes it look more mobile-friendly.

I have never used the mobile site, so that's not really the problem, thanks for the reply though.

Have you tried clicking on My Stuff when apparently logged out? That should trigger the Cookie to log you in.

Have not read all 25 pages, so may be a repost.

Issue since the new login is that when clicking "whats new" it shows me all forums, rather than my favourite forums.

I only use www.pistonheads.co.uk full fat site. It does this from my BlackBerry, my galaxy, my iPad, my work and home pc so is not browser specific. Also not every time. Even in same session I can click what's new and get different results - sometimes just the favourite forums, and sometimes all forums.
