The most common cause is having cookies disabled in your browser, if the site can't set a tracking cooking you don't appear as being logged and will be redirected back to the login page.

Give this a try, close IE, right click on the IE icon on your desktop, select properties. click on the general tab and select delete under browser history,
delete your cookies and temporary internet files.

then click on the security tab, normal settings in the medium range are usually adequate make sure you hit apply and then ok. The same applies to your privacy settings.

Restart your computer, depending on some configuration settings changes will not always be applied until after a restart.

Let me know if that helps.

Hey guys,

I already wrote an email to Robin about this, but maybe this will work a little faster.
I'm using a newly created account at the moment, because I get nowhere with my other one.

Here is what I wrote to Robin:


Thanks guys,
WingCommander aka DarkSmurf

P.S.: I will request the immediate deletion of this now used account as soon as my other account is reinstated or ... I get banned again.

WingCommander / DarkSmurf, we have an open case since Oct 6th on this (Dark0ne did get the message) and we were allowing time for all the moderators to view the case.

This does seem like an anomaly. We cannot find any threads where you were mentioned as being banned and we do not see any of your postings (as if you never posted or they were all deleted)

We will most likely un-ban the DarkSmurf account since we have yet to get any responses saying there was a reason.

Well, I guess 3 days is long enough for all moderators to see the case so I will un-ban your account right now.

EDIT: Done
- DarkSmurf Un-banned.
- WingCommander Banned (until Dark0ne deletes the account).

Hey guys, I'm having the same problem as alot of other people here. I can log onto the forums normally with no problem, but as soon as I try to log onto Tes Nexus it won't keep me logged in, or it just takes me back to the log in page (if I try to log on while downloading.)

The weird thing was that it was working like 5-10 minutes ago, I downloaded a couple things and it logged me out randomly. I have cookies enabled and all that stuff, my firewall/virus protection is not interfereing either. I even added TN to my trusted sites, and I still can't log on. =/

Hope you can fix this for me, I simply cannot play Oblivion without the great mods on this website! C:

Thank you guys, you're my heroes.
And sorry if I seemed a bit pushy, was not my intention.

Best regards,
DarkSmurf

Jaeds, getting logged out of TESNexus happens from time to time due to reboots and changes Dark0ne makes. I'm not on the site 24 hrs a day but I hit it at various times throughout the day and usually do not get logged out more than one time per day but expect to need a re-login about once every 3 days.

I recommend you visit the home page and THEN try to login. Whatever page you are currently viewing when you try to login will be the same page you see after login because the login process remembers what page you were on and re-directly you back there after a successful login. Translated, this means if you are looking at an error page when you click Login, you will be looking at the same error page after you get logged in (unless you follow my advice and click a page you can access while not logged in such as the home page).

If this is not your problem and you are actually not being allowed back on the site, then it has to be a cookie issue (if there isn't a problem with your account / password....but it seems you can login from time-to-time).

Make sure your browser does not do a "clean private data" periodically that purges cookies every once in a while (such as upon exit).

If you cannot figure it out, download a new browser and see if the problem persists which will let you know if it is a problem in your browser or outside your browser such as a 3rd-party program, software/hardware firewall.

Here are some browser alternatives to Microsoft Internet Explorer you can try:
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 (I recommend this a primary browser)
- Opera 9.60
- Apple Safari 3.1
- Browzar 1.5.0

FYI - Netscape Navigator is no longer a contender now that AOL has ended development.

DarkSmurf, good to see you up and running again. Sorry about your situation and confusion.

LHammonds

Nevermind.
I was going to http://www.tessource.com and it wasnt allowing me to sign in.
But when I went to http://tesNEXUS.com it let me.
Hopefully I don't get these problems again, I love this website to much. xD

I added a one-line blurb to the 1st post with this info about accessing tesnexus.com instead of tessource.net.

Thanks for clarifying the problem.

The only problem I've had with logging in, is the Database.

Other than that, I've got no problem with it at all.

I tend to switch between:

Firefox and IE7. If one isn't working, then I use the other, and its fine Just something other people might want to try aswell? Hm

Regards,

Javalin

Are you talking about when you get the message about "too many connections" when the MySQL database is down or site traffic is too high?

LHammonds

Its part of a Database Crash or with it restarting if I remember correctly. I've not had a problem with it in the last couple of days though. It'd normally shut me out for about 15-20minutes or so when it appears. ugh.

I'll screenshot it for ya if it appears again.

Regards'

Jav'

I don't think that will be necessary.

If the database is down for maintenance or a reboot, it affects EVERYONE. This thread is mainly to resolve individual problems when others can login. Maintenance and reboots are just to be expected from time-to-time.

LHammonds

not having a log-in problem but have been experiencing this the last couple of days,when I click go,or on a topic I want to post in,if this is the wrong place sorry.here's what it reads!

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.41 Server at thenexusforums.com Port 80

I've experienced that as well for the last few days.

Dark0ne is working on an integration membership database between multiple sites and this seems to be a resultant problem during the integration.

Thanks for letting us know. Dark0ne is aware of the problem and working to correct it.

LHammonds

Took me awhile to actually get this problem, but I've had it pretty much everyday now. This is the message I get upon clicking the Log in button.

Anyone getting a similar problem? or might it be IE7 just being crap.

I get redirected to that when I click log in


Kind Regards

Had some weird issues. First I tried downloading the GNR radio mod, ok it tells me I need to be logged in, and tells me to make an account, ok I think, I go make an account. User name or email already used. Hey I got an account already, ok, so try I log on to my account... nope. Ok, password recovery then... ok, that logs me on to the forum ok. I try again to log on to mainsite, no go... then I try to download the mod again, and it lets me. Weird.

Probably got this account for downloading oblivion mods a couple of years back(join date seems to confirm that). Weird that it wouldn't just let me in on main site though.

Actually, I do not have a problem with logging in. However, I do see a problem directly related to this issue. After I'm logged in and I click on the Members link, I get an error page:



No matter how many times I try or refresh the page, it's always the same.
And it has been this way for a least a day and a half.



Are you guys currently overhauling the database again?

Just wanted to mention that the login procedure of this site (not the forums) is giving me a headache since there was a security update about a year (?) ago. Each week or so I get logged out and then it takes ages to log in again. It's completely weird - at the same time the site asks me to log in I can see the logout button and members section at the top right corner. I can even access it without a problem (refreshing the members site doesn't cause problems either). But sometimes when I want to add a file or image it says I need to login - but I am logged in. Once I log in again it only repeats the procedure - please log in. When I wait for a few random hours I finally stay logged in for a few days. Even more strange is the fact that I sometimes can upload a file, but not an image. Othertimes it's vice versa. I have cookies enabled, but I use the 'exotic' browser called Opera. This is the only site where I have problems with the login. I would be glad if someone could fix this issue as it's really annoying when you want to upload something and constantly get redirected to the login page after already logging in.

EDIT: Right now for example I can do anything I want at TesNexus and I can look at my members section and upload an image at FalloutNexus. But the one thing I would like to do I can't do - upload a file at FalloutNexus. Why? I would understand if I was logged out completely and couldn't log in at all, but this is beyond my understanding.

Phitt, I tried out Opera and found similar problems but I have determined that it is how Opera "caches" the web pages.

I logged in successfully but when I browse around, I still see the "LOGIN" link at the top-right corner. I had to refresh the page for it to go away. There were other strange problems as well which I think are related to how it caches the site. I gave up trying to make it work and stick with Firefox, IE or Safari (on the iPhone)

I'm not sure what is going on, however I can't log onto the FO3 dl area. I can log into the forums and tes areas fine. When I try to log onto the FO3 area I am hit with an invalid PW. The only guess I have is the procedure to get a new pw isn't updating the FO3 site.

I'm having the same problem as fryt above. I can't log into fallout3nexus.com esp for downloading. I'm able to log into thenexusforums.com without any problems though. I keep getting an incorrect password. I've reset the password, deleted thenexusforums cookies, and still no luck.

Any idea how I can remedy this? I'm getting fo3nexus withdrawals lol.

Same problem here.

Site is down for updates that will hopefully help to fix this issue.

This issue seems to be rectified now. Can someone else please confirm?

Working for me now.

Can confirm it is fixed as well. Thanks =)

Registered to log on to the FO3 Nexus site. I can log into the Nexus Forums (obviously).

Attempts to log into the FO3 site (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/modules/login/do_login.php) yield:
"Uh oh! Something bad happened ... The member does not exist."

Reset password link successfully, but didn't resolve the issue.

Same problem for me. Can add that log in to tesnexus.com works ok.

same issue here

Same Problem here. Log in on tesnexus.com works.

okay, now this is the strangest thing ever.
Tried working on the tips with the cookies on three different browsers (internet explorer, Firefox and google Chrome --> okay, that is an "exotic") Now the strange thing is that I can log in at the TESnexus site but not on Fallout3nexus (even on the "exotic" browser)
I've done the following things to fix it without any result: disabled virusscan and firewalls, changed settings for cookies, deleted cookies several times and retried to log in.

Could anyone please help me with this?

Try it now Stevie...looks like the site glitched a little.

It doesn't work for me, although I too can log in at TESNexus

i'm still geting that message too

This seems to be related to new users (that just joined today). Give it 24 hours. If there are sync issues between the sites, they might get resolved with the nightly processes.

LHammonds

it seems not

All people who joined yesterday between the hours of 6PM and 8PM GMT need to request their accounts get deleted so they can create a new one (or just create a new account with a different email address). There were problems with the servers last night that caused member data to be lost between these hours. Sorry.
