MSFN Privacy policy change?

Recommended Posts

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. :unsure:

Thanks!

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.

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.

Cheers and Regards

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.

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.) :huh:

The normal look, of course, is seen in the third screenshot (taken in Firefox):

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. :unsure:

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.
