if it is allowing you to log in, but logging you out when you upload
if the upload window is making you navigate to a new page on the site
it is most likely because IE on windowsphone is not saving the log in cookies from this site
each new window will require you to re log in if the cookies are not saved

sounds likely thanks man. See if I can have a look in settings.
you can get another browser on windows phone i forget the name its a Chinese one
also if you use a proxy, like a web based thing like hidemyass often these services block java script, this will also mess with the log in of the site

the site has to be able to store those cookies on your device
every single new page you click on this site will try to find a valid session cookie stored on your device if its not their it logs you out :)
when you first visit the site sometimes you might also see a banner saying the site uses cookies or whatever

pretty sure its a cookie issue, and or java script not being allowed, but thats not so likely on a mobile device

weirdly the incognito browser i have goes to the browse for pic button but then does nothing and IE doesn't get that far just loops logging in. I'll keep trying different browsers

ie goes into log in loop when trying to edit just text too. Maybe they'll roll out windows 10 to mobiles and everything will be fine. Lolz

Thats a point, your windows phone will send its browser agent id to sites too to let the site know what browser your using and what type of device
this can also fuck things up.
like the netflix app would not work on windows phone denim 8.1 build the newest one at the time
but the same app worked on windows phone luma/cyan build lol because netflix app did not recognize the 8.1 denim agent id

works now netflix updated the app

@sunni I still have the same issue with banners covering the top line of thread names and covering buttons that would allow me to start new threads or initiate conversations.

Samsung Note ll running Chrome.

@sunni Just wanted to pass along my thanks for everyone's efforts. The web site now loads correctly and no longer covers any info or buttons on my Android mobile device.

Thanks! :clap:

Same thing happens to me on an iPad. What gets me is when I'm logged in and search from Google for content that brings me back here, the pages viewed from the Google link force me to sign back in. Happens every time and especially when I try to view photos.

It's not browser related, it's a site issue.

So everytime I use the site on my mobile Nokia 930 it asks me to log in almost constantly every time I try to upload a picture it wipes the post and seems stuck in a loop asking me to log in each time. Any advice?
my wife started an account on her mobile phone, sunni messages me saying i have two, three accounts associated with my mi'kmaq account im like wtf? Somehow my tower account and my wife's mobile phone account have merged here?

The admin and possibly mods can see sock accounts based on ip. Many sites show which users who have used the site from the same ip addy in the sites cp.

It could be as simple as having roommates that visit the same site as you, but if one causes trouble, in most instances it's difficult for the end user to prove it wasn't them and was in fact someone else residing in the same household.

yes we have ways of seeing sock puppet accounts which we dont feel comfortable telling the forum.
usually i know when its a sock if im unsure at any point i will message the user and ask for confirmation. such as this time, because the way she writes is quite different from vtm ,

best to ask first rather than ban and ask questions later.
