• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Whenever I bring it up to take a turn.
-
• Please explains what you wanted to do, what you do and what happened
On certain games, when I enter the game table, it shows that I am not logged in and that I am a spectator. It was also doing this (sometimes) on a Perudo game n°11924895, and has done it on a current Yahtzee game n°12154689. I don't think it ever did this on my recent game of Hearts. At this point, it does it every time I try to take a Dragonheart turn.
These are all turn-based. It does not matter if I enter through the "x waiting" which goes straight to the game, or if I go to my list of current games and click directly on the game from that list. I'm logged in. I go into a game to take a turn, it says I'm a spectator, and in the upper right where my name should be it says "log in." If I click on log in, my name then comes up (without me actually going through the log-in process) and it goes to the news page. I could go into the game again, and the same thing will happen, and it says "log in" in the upper right again. It's like the game itself is not recognizing that I'm logged in. (You can see this on the screenshot.)
The first time I saw this was maybe 3-4 weeks ago, when it did it once. (Don't remember the game.) So it was before the server move/upgrade/whatever it was. That time I deleted cache, cookies, logged out and back in, rebooted, I don't remember what all, but something in there got it to work again. However, on this Dragonheart game, it does it every time and no matter what I do, it continues to do it. (I'm only currently playing the Dragonheart, and have only taken one turn on Yahtzee but it did it too. I have no desire to start new games if this is what is going to happen.)
It seems to work fine in IE 10. I have not changed any settings. I normally use FF and log in, leave it open, so I can keep on my turns. I'm getting a little annoyed that I have these occasional games that decide I'm not logged in, and I have to move to IE long enough to take a turn when I normally never use IE and don't want to have to use it just for this site. • What is your browser?
