Aye, its still not working for me.
Im on ntl broardband, but Im not sure wether being on a different service would make any difference.

I'm on Be Unlimited so it isn't ISP specific. It would seem they have some sort of server or DNS issue and only certain people can get on the forums. Would be interesting to know if it is just non-members who are getting the blank screen.

I thought it might be a members thing or even a members of the beta team thing but Berserker is both and can't get on - though I guess if he's got it set to not remember him that may account for something? :confused:

I can confirm I am not logged in. Forgot my password.

And now of course I have no way to log in.

Yep it's offical - it's fuggored

The problem appears related to logging in. If you still have authentication cookies saved, you can access the forum. If your cookies get deleted, you can no longer access the forum. So keep a tight lid on your cookie jar.

No sign of WW yet - hope he's not stuck out of his own forums! :eek:

Anyone want to give this a try?

I was having this problem to all I did was search on google: forum folding
1)clicked on cached (That loads the cached login page)
2)next just login.

See if that works. Do not know if this will work for guests.

Berserker · 7 Oct 2006 at 00:06

Tried. Failed. Though I don't know if that's because I'm still using the wrong password.

kinnison · 7 Oct 2006 at 03:39

yup, that worked - cheers

Tried the Cache approach using Firefox, and got the page to render, then was able to log in. Did the same with IE.

Once you log out though, the page doesnt' render in FIrefox or IE.

Well, if there's some way I can get a password reset, I can get back in. Until then, I'm barred.

kasson is right. The database appears to not be able to create new session ids in the table, that is why existing logins work, since no new session is required.

From what I have read, the whole session ID table will probably need purging.

doh!

Berserker · 7 Oct 2006 at 13:32

That's easily done. Just reboot the box it's on (or stop and restart MySQL).

well as WW hasn't posted for about a week it may take a bit longer

hopefully he's not too far away - or if he is he's at least having a great time

It does make me think though that Stanford should really run their own forums rather than relying on the good nature of a very busy guy

SiriusB · 7 Oct 2006 at 21:53

Or at least find someone to help the guy out. Surely he isn't running the whole show by himself?

Well Bruce is Site Admin too but he's not posted in about a week also, there's also a decent sized team of Moderators but I'm assuming they don't have access to the inner workings.

I'm sure if WW wanted someone to help out with the admin side he'd ask - in this case it seems that both the people with the power are away or unavailable at the same time - just unlucky that something has gone wrong at the same time

I sure would appreciate it if one of you chaps with access to the forum could cut and paste the latest news on the Gpu Client front.

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom.

I've just had a quick look through and there really isn't any new "news" at the moment - hopefully this means that some good work is getting returned and the few bugs that have already been identified should be getting sorted

As soon as I see anything official I'll post it here

sculptor · 9 Oct 2006 at 07:57

Thanks Rich.
Sorry was working last night.

sculptor · 14 Oct 2006 at 10:03

Looks like they have sorted out the problem, I can access the site now.

Berserker · 17 Oct 2006 at 15:57

Yes, they have. Looks like WW returned and gave the forum a very hard kick. :eek:
