Forum: Login problem

Eddy · 2015-12-15T15:35:51.000Z

Opera Version : 12.17
Build : 1863
Platform : Win32
System : Windows XP SP3
Browser identification : Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.17
For the past week when I tried to open http://forum.avast.com I got :

Secure connection: fatal error (40) from server (Failed to connect to server. The reason may be that the encryption methods supported by the server are not enabled in the security preferences_.

Simply hitting reload and the page showed up fine. Today the page loads without a problem, but after clicking "login" there is only the spinning waiting symbol and it doesn't go to the login page.

Opera 20.0
Version: 20.0.1387.82
System: Windows XP 32-bit SP3
Browser identification : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36 OPR/20.0.1387.82

Each time when I try to post I get :

Unable to access the network
The connection to forum.avast.com was interrupted by a change in the network connection. Reload this webpage. Press the reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page. Check your internet connection. Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.

Only way to post is clicking the back button and click “post” again.

This is really sloppy work by avast and discriminatory in its very nature.
No avast ,not everyone wants to use google chrome thank you and attempting to shove it down avast users throats will not work either.
Maybe if enough opera users bark from the highest rooftops then avast may turn a deaf ear into a listening ear and actually sort thr god forsaken mess up.

Look at the amazing turnaround in regard to pale moon users.For weeks pale moon users could not log in and were then subsequently fed a mixture of avast contrived trollop as to why this was and then finally…VOILA.!! it was fixed.
Pure laziness and a security company should know better than to try and dictate what browser people should use. 8) 8)

Try to make a positive post for a change, or show everyone how it should be done in your opinion.
It seems you know it all and can do a much better job.

Not a very helpful and conclusive reply. ???

Indeed, you are not very helpful at all.
You don’t come even close to something that is helpful >:(

Only a scotsman would use the word “wee”
Its certainly not off topic by any means.
Still no satisfactory explanation as to why the log in issues were present.

Bad xcripting.

midnight · 2015-12-16T01:02:20.000Z

You can log in now so that should make you a “wee” bit happy.

Eddy · 2015-12-16T02:01:55.000Z

Arnold,

I only mentioned some problems I am/was experiencing.
Your reaction :

This is really sloppy work by avast and discriminatory in its very nature.

If you really believe that, why didn’t you provide the prove of it? Why didn’t you supply a (possible) solution ?
You act as the mister know it all.

Oh wait, I already know why you didn’t…
You have no clue about things at all.

Guess what…
The “40 error” was caused by a wrong setting on one of the servers that my ISP is using.
And I can assure you that avast is not my ISP.

system · 2015-12-16T21:51:36.000Z

I am certainly no know it all.
Your arrogant and sarcastic replies seems to indicate your a step above us all.

What are your credentials.?

Anyhow back on topic…
The avast team really need to be making more browsers accessible to their forums instead of this incessant push and shove to get people to use chrome.
Not everyone wants what chrome has to offer and a more diverse approach is needed,

Have you forgotten Firefox, IE, Opera, Pale Moon, etc etc etc.
You’re beetling a dead horse just to have something to nag about.

as you may or may not know the pale moon issue was only recently fixed.
Why is it that chrome and ie were able to log in but not pale moon or opera…One size should fit all.

Yes, but this is OT here.

Hello,

most of this thread I once started is off topic.
To remember 6. august 2015:

I use Avast free since last december, and from time to time I look into this forum. 2 or 3 days ago I had permanent problems while login into this site (normally I am logged in permanently). At first I had a login site as shown in the first attachment. The captcha selection didn't work and was repeated.

Many texts here are drifting off to personal things with no connection to my answer at the begin …

Considering your first post and the first reply I would have thought the question was answered as that captcha method is no more.

It then got captured by other ‘Forum: Login problems’ (Pale Moon login issues) not directly related to your initial post about captcha imaging method. From here it took many different turns as other login issues were added to the mix.

stibi · 2015-12-22T16:52:07.000Z

Yes. But phrases like “Your arrogant and sarcastic replies seems to indicate your a step above us all.
What are your credentials.?” have nothing to do with any of these different issues. They are just crap.

Is there no moderator to delete such nonsense?

It is always wise to actually quote the post that you are replying to or confusion reigns, especially if your post isn’t directly after the offending post and or would be on a different topic page.

You should have seen in the profile information to the left of his posts, that he is ‘Watched’ prior to that he was Muted, e.g. his posts had to be first approved before they appear in the topic.

Deletion of posts is rare, I think mainly because having deleted a post there would be no evidence as such.
