JorgeA Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 In the last few days, twice it's happened to me that the next time I visited MSFN (one time each on two different browsers), I was presented with privacy terms for MSFN before getting to the post that my e-mail notification had told me about. Did the privacy terms change, and if so, what was the change? I'm not sure why that screen would show up all of a sudden otherwise. Thanks! --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) It happenned to me too, I notified Xper through the support link, he said he's working on the issue and I haven't seen it since. Maybe it's a coincidence, it didn't happen to me always, only when there was a long period between my visits (24 hrs?). I wasn't logged off, just asked to accept EULA.

bphlpt Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I also saw it, repeatedly. I had a couple of board pages open in different tabs. I had to shut down the browser for an unrelated reason, and when I reopened it I had to approve the privacy terms on each tab. Seems to be gone or resolved now.

Tripredacus Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I got it myself using 2 browsers, but also have seen this type of thing on other forums too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That's strange because that option is disabled. You still get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Well once you accept, it doesn't show up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeA Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 It hasn't happened again to me, as it did to @bphlpt. Trying other browsers on different computers from which I've logged in to MSFN recently, to see what happens. --JorgeA NOW FOR THE LATEST BOARD SOFTWARE STRANGENESS: In Pale Moon, when I typed this reply and went to click on Submit Reply, I noticed that there was NO way to submit the reply! (See first screenshot below.) Instead, I was being shown the previous posts in the thread. And then at the bottom of the page, even though I was already signed in, there was the following notice inviting me to create an account or sign in in order to leave a comment. (See second screenshot below.) The normal look, of course, is seen in the third screenshot (taken in Firefox): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just tested it with clean install of Pale Moon. Cannot reproduce. Posting this from Pale Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 It turns out that somehow I got signed out of the system -- I have no idea how or why, since I didn't click on anything to sign out. Once I signed back into the Forum, everything looked normal again. --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostaglic98 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 On a somewhat-related note, am noticing under Sea Monkey (version 2.40) on OS X Snow Leopard that the board keeps announcing that it uses cookies to me. I suppose this is related to the fact that I have No-Script installed and running most of the time for browsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Doubtful it is NoScript's fault. The forum should be keeping that announcement data in a cookie. Make sure it isn't being blocked or deleted when you exit the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
