Hey, how can I get Discourse to do X?

This has been true for me since day one. Works fine on mobile. I just chalk it up to one of the add ons I run.

You genius! You made me realise it had to do with the automatic tracking protection feature that firefox introduced in their browsers (which is why it affected my work computer at the same time). Disabling it for this site has fixed everything.

Glad to have been of some small help.

That is it. Next time I just need to remember to lock the computer when I leave (always a good habit anyway, the cat may try to look up kitty porn while Iā€™m away, you never know). And thanks to @stusser for the info.

Iā€™m getting an error message trying to log in from my work computer. ā€œYou canā€™t login as Cormac from that IP addressā€.

Google tells me that means this IP address (or range) was blocked by someone?

Iā€™m getting the exact same message (with copeknight instead, of course) when I try to login on my home PC.

So I noticed that my date/time was wrong. Windows 10 (ugh) was out of sync and the time server wasnā€™t responding. Switching time servers got my date/time right, and now I can log in again. Yay!

Interestingā€¦ Will check out the time setup when get back to work next week!

I changed to a new iPhone and received this exact message. I have to lock out of Qt3 from the old iPhone and then it allows me to log in. Doesnā€™t make sense because Iā€™m sure these two phones have different IP. But they are both from the same home WiFi so maybe Qt3 sees it as the same IP from my internet provider. I donā€™t know.

Iā€™m having the same issue as Cormac and habibi on all browsers where Iā€™m not already logged in:

I donā€™t think it has anything to do with my IP address because I tried disconnecting from my wifi on my Android phone and I still get it in Chrome using the 4G mobile network.
I have a hunch it might be caused by me logging in a couple times in an incognito tab on my phone and then the tab and cookie was wiped when the app updated so I never logged out from that session.
Anyways it seems like a weird security restriction especially if there is no way to manage/invalidate old sessions.
I couldnā€™t find anything describing this ā€œfeatureā€ in discussion of discourse other than the default session timeout is 2 months.
Iā€™m not really confident that logging out of the only remaining session (on my PC) that I have access to will fix the issue because I risk not being able to log in again.

Supposedly this is indeed because youā€™re trying to login from a banned IP. I changed a setting so they expire after 2 months rather than 1 year, so this should happen less often over time.

So Iā€™m getting this IP error too with my new PC. Help?

I can no longer make it to the Games category on Android mobile Chrome. Itā€™s been missing from the Categories drop down forever, but I could still get it from the main forums list. Now itā€™s gone from there, too.

Weird. Try clearing your cookies, and check that you havenā€™t muted the category.

@jpinard canā€™t get on the forum. Apparently:

Could you let the admins know Iā€™m getting Cloudflare error #502 Bad Gateway? Cloudflare seems to think something is wrong with either Comcast or the DNS on the QT3 server. Thanks

I think he was talking about the frontpage, which was having trouble, not the forum which has been up since I last messed with it several hours ago trying to get posting to go quicker. Which I think worked.

No. I had the same issue with the forum, not the front page, last night. Same cloudflare error.

I refreshed a few times and it was back after a few minutes.

For me it was forums too. Glad I can get back in!

How do I turn off rich text in Discourse? For instance if I copy some bold text from a website and paste it into a forum post, it will remain bold. Or when I copy some link text and when I paste it into a post it will still be a link instead of plain text. Can I turn this off? Thanks.

Hi folks,

Apologies if the answer has been posted in this thread already. I started reading up and hit a wall at P&R discussions.

My problem is with iOS devices. Iā€™ll be scrolling up a thread and all of a sudden, I am assuming when pictures load up-thread, the position will jump around and I will completely lose my place. This is a major bummer with endless, thousand + post threads. This effects other Discourse boards I go to as well. Any known fix for?
