Been having a problem the last few days logging in to this forum using my iPhone. For a while, pressing the login button was doing nothing. Now it opens the window and allows me to enter my username & passcode, but it immediately bounces me to the main index page where I am still not logged in. I'm on an iPhone 2G using Speakout ULD.

Anybody else having an issue? All the other forums I visit work fine, so I don't think its a phone issue.

I don't think this forum software is mobile-friendly yet. Of course, I can't test it because my phone is over 5 years old and not mobile-friendly... I'll look at upgrading the forum in a couple of months.

Have you made any changes over the past week? I was able to log in without issue for several months now. The problem only started a few days ago.

Okay, I'm in. By logging in on wifi, then immediately shutting wifi off and continuing the session on SO data, I've remained logged in. Hopefully it's set a cookie. We'll see what happens when I restart safari in a minute.

Unfortunately, when I restarted Safari I was unable to log in again. Will try switching my proxy next.

No changes have been made in the past week. Thanks for continuing to test. What you're reporting actually doesn't seem to be an issue with this forum itself, but maybe WordPress login in general, since the forum defers to the normal WordPress login functions. Unfortunately, that doesn't make things much clearer. I'm not sure right now what the solution would be.

Well, I've tried all three proxies with no luck. Don't think its an issue with my phone as when I switch to wifi the site instantly recognizes me an signs me in. Don't think its SO either as the many other forums I visit work fine. I think you are likely correct about wordpress, however I'd like to know if any of the other iphone users out there are having the same issue?
