Every time I log in I get:
vBulletin Error
Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.eaaforums.org/)
rather than the "click here if you're not redirected" screen. It seems to inhibit the "remember me" cookie as well.
By the way, are we ever going to get off vB4? Lots of security issues and they don't support this version anymore. (We moved up to XenForo 2 which has better support) on my sites.
I've seen that Invalid redirect a time or three also.
Same problem here - get the goofy redirect error, then if I click on the Login button again, it lets me in? C'mon guys, surely this is an easy fix??
Don't know if it's related, but recently my Samsung phone forgets that I've logged into the EAA forums. Every time I select the link, I have to enter the user name and password (and click the "remember me" flag). Just started doing this a couple of days back. Not a problem with my Kindle Fire, Ipad, or desktop computer.

I think it should be better now. They seem to have fixed the redirect bug.
Nope - just now 1:08 CST it happened again.
Hi everyone, thanks for your patience while we looked into this issue. Our security certificate was recently added to the forums so you will now need to use https://eaaforums.org rather than just http://eaaforums.org. We are hoping this solves some of the other issues we have been having as well.
Please let us know if this issue persists so we can seek out a new solution.

That could have been my problem, so I have now changed my bookmark to reflect the security change. Thanks.
Thanks, looks like it fixed my phone issue.

Thanks Elayna, changing to the 'https' did the trick.
For the last several months when I try to check the forum, I have had to log in each time as the "remember me" checkbox seems to not work. After logging in I have been getting an error page. Today I got a page saying I have entered an invalid user name or password, but I am logged in.
I have a similar issue with a Surface laptop running Windows 10, using the Edge browser. "Remember Me" doesn't work, and when I enter my user name and password and click Return, the password erases and I get an error message. Second entry of the same password then works.
Haven't posted about it since I only use the Surface when traveling.

Remember me works by dropping a cookie for the site. If you don't get it remembered, you probably have the cookies blocked somehow.
The insertion of the password as a bunch of dots in the login has nothing to do with the "remember me" feature or any feature of the forum software. That is done BY YOUR OWN BROWSER.
Well, the last few days I suddenly don't have the "memory" again (quite a while since the last time) on the same computer, same browser (not even updated since it last worked earlier this week). Remember me works on another forum site with the same software.Quote:

Addendum: It just did it to me again, using Waterfox (a slight modification of Firefox), but I don't have the problem on the regular EAA site (immediately after I had to log into this one again) or on other forums, including one with this software.
Addendum2: For some reason the bookmark I was using went to http, not https -- we had this some time back and I'd forgotten. It works fine with https.
The browsers segregate the cookies from the https and http versions of the site. You have a different set if you log in via different means.
This site alas doesn't do what others do and automatically redirect you from http to https if you get it wrong.
My Ipad has developed the same condition...previous login not remembered. Still no issue with my desktop (Windows 7), phone (Android), or Kindle Fire (Android).Quote:

Well, duh. Started have problems with my desktop going to the site. In desperation, I re-read this thread. Saw Elayna's comment about adding the "s" to http, did so, and problems disappeared on both devices.Quote:
