Title: Completely unable to log in to main site
Post by: Kappacino on May 13, 2013, 12:53 pm
I enter my details, press log in, and then the login screen just reloads. It doesn't say anything like "incorrect password", the screen just reloads with all the fields blank.

Even when I try to create a new account the same thing happens. This has never happened before, I've had it where its said "couldn't log in"or something similar and I've had to log in 3/4 times for it to work, but this is different, I've tried it 20/30 times now and still nothing. Just a log in screen.

Double and triple check to make sure you are at the correct URL:

I haven't had the same trouble, so it worries me that maybe you're attempting to login to a phishing site .... or perhaps you just need to restart Tor / use a new identity?

I'm definitely using the right site, I only ever do it from memory.

I've tried restarting Tor. Do I need to have scripts enabled or something? I can't imagine that I would have to

You shouldn't have to change anything in Tor to get to SR .... hmmm ... are you getting any errors in the vidalia / tor control panel error log?

Hopefully someone else can chime in with some suggestions!

Just restarted tor again, still the same thing happening. No error notices in the vidalia log either.

I imagine that if I had been hacked it would say something like "incorrect password" when I try to login. It isn't even saying that. It just goes back to a log in screen with empty fields. I try to make a new account and the same thing happens. This is the first time I have had this happen in over a year of using the site

Just for the Hell of it, try leaving the fields blank or deliberately put in incorrect information.  Do you get some sort of message when submitting the form with bunk information, or is it the same thing?

Try doing a cold boot (shut down, then physically turn off the power for 10 seconds).  You'd be amazed what a cold boot can fix sometimes.

Already done a full reboot, and just tried it with no information and it just reloads the login page again. This is weird as it seems that I am the only one who is having this problem, no-one else on the forum has mentioned anything.
