The site won't allow me to log in through my iPhone and I know it's the correct password as I just changed it, assuming it wouldn't let me in because I'd forgotten my old one!

I know this has been covered before in here, but I've tried all the fixes that have been given and none seem to work (log in through a different part, clear cache and cookies etc).

Any ideas?

I had been hoping the redesigned PH would have fixed this problem, but it hasn’t.

Come on chaps, why don’t the hamsters like iPhone logins?

Are you using full-fat or mobile site?

I think it's the full site as I logged into it through Safari and put a link onto my front page from there. That was a few months ago though, so I couldn't be 100% - is there an easy way to tell?

Check the address bar: if it begins www or pistonheads.com it's the full site, if it begins m or mobile it's the mobile site. They look and behave very differently anyway.
If it's the mobile site it comes up pretty often, see here for example: click.

ETA - silly typo

I used to be able to get past it by logging in on the full site, then returning to the mobile site. Not any more.

It is the mobile site (mobile.pistonheads etc etc). I've tried going through the members section and logging in there, but get the same issue - I'll give it another pop this afternoon and keep everything crossed!

Delete your internet history on the phone - this works for me if I ever have any problems.

I've got issues with the mobile site when logging in from my HTC Sensation..

It worked fine for the last 3 months or so since I've had the phone, but I got kicked out and now cannot log in to the mobile site again..

I've cleared the cache, cookies, history and form data.. but still does not work.. just reloads the login page again..

Is this a bug with the mobile site ?

The main site works fine on my HTC..

Sweet.. that link worked a treat, probably because it was a 'clean' link without any parameters tagged on the end of the previous page i was on or whatever..

Thanks Slinky..

I have a separate iPhone issue. Whether or not this is linked to the site or is a problem with safari is another matter.

Basically, I can load up say general gassing, enter a thread and then if I go back a page, back to the general gassing forum it actually loads up a view that is a number of days old! I'll see threads that I know are old like the one about a question for the engine guys. I know that thread is a few pages now and I know for a fact I replied to it when it had a good few replies already. However I see it on my phone and its only got 4 replies as if its just been a new thread.

Odd little quirk!

May be an iPhone caching issue, I get it with PH and a couple of other sites...

Main site seems to be a bit slow, this may have an influence on the mobile site?
