And now logged out on pc again...

Am i really the only one with this problem? Have this only on the ChemBase-Forum and only since the new theme.

I did some edits last night and today and uploaded/ replaced  files. That perhaps could affect your login status, I'm not sure yet. I'll be asking the SMF team if that could be a thing.

So far, I haven't heard from anyone having the same issues like you. But maybe most actively log out before they go, so they would not expect to stay logged in.

Then it should be on all devices, but on tablet and phone i'm still logged in.

Then I suspect that there's something happening on your end.

One SMF member asks, if you have 2 factor authentification enabled?
And others point to the fact that some browsers may log you out or delete long time cookies automatically for security reasons if the time period is too long.

Yes. Using 2FA on every site and service where it is possible.

Either this is a bug, or I'm badly failing  to attach photo files to post on the forum.

First off,  my iPhone automatically saves my photos as .HEIC files. I convert them to .JPG on my computer but they don't upload properly on the forum. I attempted to upload the original .HEIC files, but the forum converts it to .GIF format, which works, but takes up too much space to upload multiple photos I want to share.

Of course this all could be circumvented with a free online photo hosting website. But I've been out of the loop, and now realize that Photobucket (which I did use long ago) charges a fee.

Anyone have a recommendation?

I use postimages.org.

No muss, no fuss.

Thank you for that!

At first, the images were all rotated to the right for some reason, and with no editing option available (assume it's available in premium) was about to give up. But I reloaded them and the images are all properly upright.

Hi Bosco. Are you sure your converted files are in the .jpg format rather than .jpeg? I read iOS may use the latter but am not sure if this is the case (not an Apple user). Because, it turned out I had forgotten to add the .jpeg suffix to the allowed attachment file types, so perhaps this tripped up the forum software.

I don't think that heic/heif is currently supported via SMF (could shoot me a heic file so I could test it, please?). But I've now added the format anyway, so please, test it out and let me know what happens. In the worst case, it will get uploaded but not displayed, I guess.

Another neat and free tool you can use is this online converter (which I've been using for the forum stuff quite a bit lately). You not only can convert your images but optimize and crop etc.

I got confirmation that this is indeed some sort of bug on SMF's end and associated with 2FA. So this means it could happen again after a longer period of time (1 or 2 months).

@shakermaker, thanks for the report! Well, it seems the poster had used an unusual tag code around the text and video link that caused some weird formatting. I removed it, should be good now.

I am banned from the Music Response forum?

Hi @LLG

no, no, you're of course not banned! This happens sometimes to me too and is sort of a "bug" (and a misnomer by SMFs language files I guess). Your browser probably still uses an outdated cache and thinks you're still logged in with your old session info from a previous visit.
Try reloading the page by pressing and holding the reload-arrow of your mobile. If that doesn't help, delete your browser data and try again. Let me know what happens.

Don't know if this is a bug, but in the settings for the profile details you can choose to show your Instagram profile name or Twitter or Skype an so on. I have no idea if i really at one point have written down something in the Skype-box but there is my forum-profile name in there - and i cannot delete it. Everytime i do so and save the changes it immediately shows up again. Plus it is the only box that is blue-coloured instead of white like all the others.


Bonus question: Who still uses ICQ in 2024 (and why is there no option for AIM?)?  ;D

according to Wikipedia icq is still actively developed and had 11 million monthly users as of two years ago.

aim is dead dead though.

There's nothing in there for Skype. I suspect you haven't updated your cache yet. Try deleting it and reload the page or do a hard-refresh by press-and-holding the reload arrow.

ICQ is there by default through SMF.
