Can't login with Firefox or Chrome, but with Epiphany

[arisboch]

I have the following problem: I can't log in on the DCM main page, but with the forum there are no problems. This is only true with Chromium and Firefox (Adblock Plus AND NoScript deactivated), but with Epiphany i can log in and download stuff from the DCM page without problems. You know how to solve this? thx in advance

We have had problems with Chrome in the past, but this is the first I heard of trouble with Firefox too. Which version of Firefox are you using? Any other info you can give would be helpful, thanks. We can then have our person that takes care of the site look into it then.

Can you try following for me please:

Clear cache/history etc in firefox etc.
If you have username/password saved for DCM in firefox please delete it from Firefox and try manually entering it.

Will be looking into more detail what is causing these issues this week but try above and see what happens.

[Captain DJ]

I think I might found out what the issue is.

I see your online now but give me 5 - 10 minutes to get a test together and I will post back soon.

It sucks that DCM doesn't support Chrome. It is a browser with a notable market share.

[Captain DJ]

Just checking something. Hoping will be this simple Prob not but worth try.

And why the devil the forum software always redirects me to the thread list and not to the thread?! That is an bug.

[Captain DJ]

OK thanks for that, didn't show me anything worth while.

BTW is it all fixed your end now? Just noticed you said it worked few posts back.

BTW we do support chrome... but we have an odd error that pops up now and again to few users when logging in.
Normally all is required is quick clear of cache/password/username and it works fine.

The other thing to make sure is that you have javascript enabled. We use some javascript code that deals with hashing for passwords to match them up with SMF format since we linked the download script to our forum software while ago for "easy" login and instead of having to use two accounts. Every since we have had issues and I think this javascript hashing script is main cause.

Hi Capt,
Thanks for looking into this and a huge thank-you for adding that note about Javascript to the login page!

I know that Chrome shares some keyboard shortcuts with Safari and they differ from the standard Windows map of what they should do. Browser Wars revisited.
