Not allow to login from smartphone

Post by abchobby »

Hello, I'm in trouble with mobile devices on forum.
Let me explain (and sorry for my English)

Now I'm running under phpbb 3.0.14
Today I've update from 3.0.12 with no problem.

My forum was "frozen" for a long long long time and in this days I've been return to work on it.

From pc all is ok but from mobile devices (smartphone Samsung Android) I'm not allowed to login.
I click login, I login correctly but on the next page the forum ask me another time to login.

So, I don't know if this is a general problem about phpbb 3.0 or if this is only a problem of my board.

Please can anyone help me?
Thanks elisabetta

It seems like your style is slightly outdated. I can't instantly say if that's the root of your problems or not, but you could try temporarily enabling the default 3.0.14 blue prosilver style and see if that resolves the problem. If it does, then you need to update your ColorizeIt style to the latest version.

Also, whilst your cookie settings seem fine to me now, you might consider adding one random character to the cookie name in Cookie Settings to make sure all of your users receive a fresh cookie when logging in.

Hi jimA
Thanks for your reply.
I've spent some time with my board.
Change the template to prosilver default not solve my problem.

The problem is only with the web browser chrome on Android device. Today I'll try from my smartphone with another web browser and the login is OK.

Anyone has the same problem with chrome browser from mobile device?

3.0 is not responsive to begin with so your styles don't really work well on phones etc.

are you by chance using tapatalk? if so, this could be the problem. it has been known to have lots of strange issues.

If it's feasible for you to do then yes especially as support for 3.0 will end in a couple of weeks.
