Well, first day of a new month and another (serious) forum issue afflicts yours truly 😉 😞 ...

I'm posting this from a saved logged-in MSFN session, where I had successfully signed-in a few days ago, not really sure when exactly...

Browser used is r3dfox-140.0.4 (32-bit), its exact user-agent being:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0 r3dfox/140.0.4

Now posting with my ISP's Greek IP address, because, thankfully, this previous issue appears to have been resolved!

If I open a new container tab, a new private window, etc. and try to load, say,

https://msfn.org/board/

the forum does load as expected; of course, I appear there as signed-out, because the logged-in cookies are not shared with the container or private window; but, if I try to sign-in in the container tab or the private window, I'M NOT ABLE TO 😢 ; the forum throws the error in the issue title...

But it gets worse; I can't sign-in to the MSFN board anymore in whichever other browser I was not signed-in previously, also in a normal tab or window (not containerised tab/not private window); below are screencaps of my attempts to sign-in to roytam1's latest NM28 build (private window there, because I'm already signed-in in a normal window from before):

and my attempt to sign-in to a normal tab in the r3dfox-153.0.3 (32-bit) browser:

(the browser above has a user-agent as follows:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0 r3dfox/153.0.3 )

What is this thing now? Is it CloudFlare again? How and why was my MSFN account BLOCKED? Due to the "502 Bad Gateway" outages for the most part of yesterday, I wasn't able to spend that much time browsing the board...

My logged-in MSFN session in the browser I'm currently writing this (and the only "working" session, as the session in NM28 can't be used in practice, IC5 Forum Software is severely crippled there) is due to expire in ca. 3 months, according to cookies lifespan; but accidents do happen, browser cookies get corrupted or inadvertently deleted, etc. so I may very well find myself logged out, without the ability to sign back in....

Please, kindly help!

Thanks for your unwavering efforts to keep the forum running 💗 ...

Thanks for putting effort into this report!

@xper is still working on the infrastructure and will find this helpful.

Thanks @tain!
Yes, I think many things will be resolved today.

I had the locked message yesterday also.

I did not have any saved log-in session to resume (all of my browsers clear their cache and cookies at every exit).

Today there is no locked message, so it appears that has been found and fixed. 🙂

Yes, thanks indeed 👍 ; I can confirm that at ca. 14:05 UTC today, 20260901, I could successfully sign-in back to my MSFN account; however, I'm still constantly plagued by the (CF) 502 Bad Request access issue (last incident mere minutes ago), and the cure I found is to clear MSFN cookies (thus disconnect), clear browser cache, restart browser and reload page several times, hoping it will connect...

Noted. My uBO is not showing any connection to any Cloudflare site.
I will have to check that again if I do get a CF connection when/if a 502 shows up again.

Thanks again for everything.
