I just upgraded my phpbb forum from 3.0.9 to 3.0.14, and then to 3.2.1, following all the update steps.
Everything worked fine.
I have two problems since my forum is in 3.2.1. Both issues occure on my mobile phone.
From my computer, I can access the Admin panel just fine.
However, from my mobile phone, it's impossible.
Each time I click on the Admin link at the top of the page (next to the FAQ link) or at the bottom of the page, I get an HTTP ERROR 401 error in a blank page.
If I try to disconnect from my account, I get a message saying "You were not disconnected because the request doesn't match your session ID. Contact an administrator" ... If I try to disconnect twice very fast (click username => disconnect => get above error => click username again => disconnect), it works ...
The only MOD I have installed is the "Board Announcements" official MOD, which I have deactivated thinking it was the root cause of the issues, but it isn't...

The issue is when I try to access the admin panel from my mobile phone. Seems that the redirect and auto login isn't working well when on mobile phone.
I tried deleting the cookies as suggested, using the delete cookies link at the bottom of the board and the issue is still replicated.
The Board Announcements extension I installed is deactivated.
Should I try to delete it from the server all together?
I'm on PHPBB version 3.2.1 from the moment it came out and exact same thing here on my phone since yesterday on both of my forums.
Yesterday I updated the phone to Android 8.0.0. Phone is a Oneplus 5.
Chrome is version 63.0.3239.111, i think the problem has to do with this Chrome version related to the session ID. I emptied Chromes cache allready and all the cookies, no luck.
Other browsers work fine.
My phone is a OnePlus 3T, with Android 8.0.0 and I'm also using Chrome 63.0.3239.111.
I've discovered something while checking my Chrome version.
When I'm on my phpbb forum, and go into the Chrome options (three vertical dots on the top right corner), there is an option called "Desktop version" (not of the translation in english).
I tried to check this option, and login to my Admin panel on the forum and it worked.
While on the admin panel, I tried to uncheck the option, and the page directly reloaded with a 401 error.
At least I don't have to rely on another browser on my phone to access the Admin Panel anymore ... but it still sucks ...
Hello,
I'm facing the exact same issue with my 2 boards.
Just upgraded my OnePlus 5T to Android O and since then I'm disconnected from the forum each time I open a topic with many pictures. It occurs only with Chrome (62, 63, 64, Beta, Dev) app.
Using Opera or Samsung Browser will work ok.
I decided to open a poll few days ago on my board and the only users facing the same issue are the one with OnePlus devices on Android O.
Il will report a bug on OnePlus forum since I'm convinced it's a OnePlus Android Oreo related issue and not a Phpbb issue.
I had the same problem, turning off data save option in chrome fixed it for me, hope it helps someone else.
