I am still unable to log in and stay logged in as I move from one page to another.
Going back to one of Matt's previous post's, I have deleted the SP cookies but it has made no difference.
My cookie page for www.summitpost.org now just has the phrase "Local Storage" with no other data.
I can't post a screenshot here as that doesn't work or I'm doing it incorrectly.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be grateful.

Not sure if this is has been mentioned but I am unable to post replys on forums on mobile (iphone) or chrome. When I click reply it takes me to my profile page, the same thing happens if I click another users name it takes it back to my own profile. So I have to go on desktop and use explorer for these features to work.

I think that happens to everyone, but is usually solved by logging completely out and then back in again.

The only solution I know of is a VPN.

Is there a solution yet to the issue concerning the log-in?
I am still logged out everytime I move to another page. It makes me unable to do anything here on SP.

Can this be solved in any other way the the VPN Elves/ Matt?
Thanks in advance....

The elves can't fix it and have the same log in/log out problems.

Activity among the elves has dropped a lot because a lot of the elves are losing interest in SP due to all the bugs and ads.

I was unable to find any solution
I have followed Yatsek's advice and have used a VPN n my home pc (I knew nothing about them before and have been using a Canadian product call "Tunnelbear"). They have a free option with limited download, usually you have to pay for use.
So far I have been able vote on photos and add new photos, haven't tried anything more.
It has been a bit hit and miss... sometimes I still can't log in, sometimes it's ok. Also, I have been completely thrown out and been unable even to get "Google" up! Had to restart my pc.
Hopefully, I will be able to submit more when I have time.
Mike

I have been working with someone on a solution. They said they would try to get it solved today. I hope they are able to do so. I'll post back here if they let me know it is fixed.

Yep, they said it is "temporarily" fixed for now but they will provide a permanent solution as soon as their programmer is back online (he's off today).

I'm liking the new fix so far. Was able to see off route with a new browser right away, even SP v2 wasn't that slick with the cookie integration. Seems strange that there is a "Remember me" checkbox and a radio button for remembering you. In the past it was just a radio button which is old fashion. Modern sites have it just a checkbox. Usually it's checked by default on big sites.

The same goes with me, my VPN licence expired and I am able to log in without any problems:)

Thanks a million for engagement to solve this problem.
