Aethelwine Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It is tricky enough using the forum on a mobile phone without being redirected to the blogs page everytime you login. The links to get back to the forum are at the bottom of the page and to an awkward view of the forum. Please revert the way the login wotks to how it was.

Caitlin Tobias Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I just use the tabs on the top of the page, to go from the default BLOG to the Forum on my phone, so I am not sure why you should go to the bottom for it? From a communications point of view I completely understand they are letting you log in, by force, into the blog section first, as this is where news and updates are published and so - hopefully...- people will read those first before they e.g. start threads on why they cannot login... Anyway, this is how it looks for me on my phone, I can quite easy switch from the blog to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I agree that this is annoying. I typically only log in when I am about to reply or edit something I've posted. Getting redirected is not helpful. The solution I use is to just hit Back twice once I get to the Blogs mainpage. Logged in status should be unchanged for you, as it is for me. Reckoning this is caused by a change in behaviour for return_to Querystring - it's setting to some bizarre page I've never heard of (and Lithium just reverts to root, which is blogs.secondlife.com). Bizarre page is: https://support.secondlife.com/openid_rp/handle-auth-id/ and returns error code 404. If this is the same for you then you will experience this same behaviour.

Aethelwine Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 What browser do you use? They aren't displayed on Opera. And because Opera mini actually caches pages going back doesn't help. I have to go to the bottom of the page. Remember not to pick forum threads because that goes to questions and answers and pick forum posts and then swap the tab from all to the normal view, by which time I have forgotten what I was going to respond to or where it is.

On my iPhone (the one I took the screenshot with) and iPad I use Safari and I can easily navigate with the top-tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Safari isn't an option on Android so far as I can tell. I am trying dolphin now but it is incredibly slow, like chrome and firefox. Opera mini is by far the best browser I have found for my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has changed the behaviour of the return_to Querystring ? and why? Sorry for any rush in explaining - anyone whose referrer Querystring (when clicking 'Log In') includes "community.secondlife.com" will be replaced with the faulty return_to. This typically means copy-paste error in the lookup table for conversion, though depends on how the LL web team are accomplishing this. It's likely that the auth system recognises the mistake and dumps back to the root - the 'Blogs' page - rather than allowing you to be redirected off-site. All browsers will return an atypical 404 page when checking the link I pasted, 'cause nothing's there yet - but I meant to say that if you click Log In from marketplace.secondlife.com or other sub-domains, you'll be returned to the correct location. Community pages are where it fails. The idea should be that after you login successfully, you're returned to the same page you were previously browsing before clicking Log In. My own theory is that this is related to the upcoming changes to support.secondlife.com and is unintended behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for clarifying, Freya. I hope they fix it. It is not a major issue, but it is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freya Mokusei Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Someones' wetware, no doubt. It's maybe more hasslesome to navigate back and forth using Safari (couldn't say, my only Webkit renderer is... Lunascape). Maybe you can maintain division by instead suggesting that Apple users are more likely to complain? Or, perhaps, more likely to assume someone's listening. Enjoy the weekend.

Contrary to what I said earlier in the thread tabbing back does work, when I refresh the page I want I am still logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
