I had just run Ccleaner on my compy and it cleared out all my internet cache and what not in firefox.  Well i visit the HH home page and i am not logged in.  I go to an article and i go to the bottom put in my username and password and write my response and hit submit.  Nothing happened, i was greeted with the same looking page with no error message or anything.  I figured i fat fingered my pass so i tried again more slowly and no dice.  So i copied the text i wrote, and clicked the sign in button at the top of the arcticle page it brings up a popupish window and i put in my username and password and hit sign in and then the lil box says loading.  It said loading for 10 min before i got fed up and just went back to the home page and finally was able to long in there.

 

Just letting you guys know of these issues so they can be fixed cause i am sure this issue would put off some people as they try to put in a reply and think the page or site is broken at the time.

I think something might be wonky with your FF, Drago.  I just tried signing-in while posting with a completely clean instance of Konqueror and it worked fine.  I typically use FF, but I tested with Konqueror because I knew there'd be no pre-existing cookies or stored passwords.

Did you try clearing out the cache and cookies from within FF?  I'm wondering if CCleaner didn't leave something hanging around that was confusing FF.

People read the stupidest things.  Like this sig, for instance.

Hi Guys,

We've seen this behavior before and agree there is something weird that happens once in a while.  We're going to work to make registration and commenting cleaner/easier in the future.
