Login problems since host move/php update? Clear your Cache!

Edit: Make sure you clear your browser cache if you are having login problems. I’ve put together a step by step:
1. Google it
2. Follow the instructions
Is anyone else having login problems the last few days? (March 30/18)
When I try to login, it will take me back to the forum index but not log me in. Intermittently, if I try logging in 5-7 more time it will finally stick. Same issue on 2 different windows machines and an iPad. I thought it was a password issue so I reset it but the issue remains. I finally got my iPad to login but not the other devices.
Any thoughts? Just a DNS thing on my side? The mods finally get sick of me
Cheers,

Send a message to Steve. I was having a similar problem. I started getting an illegal use of server notice. Thought I was in real trouble.

Geoff and anyone else having issues,
Please make sure you clear your web browsers cache. That is the root cause of most of the login issues. Here is a link that explains browser cache clearing.
Browser Cache Clearing
I apologize for the issues but this is a safer environment for us all after doing this.

Ken's issue was a bit more involved than just clearing the cache. But we got it solved.

I'm guessing I did something stupid, and he's just too nice to point out that I'm a Maroon. (Better if read in Bugs Bunny voice)
Steve's a magician. Thanks again.

Thanks Steve, that worked. Shoulda cleared cache and ipconfig/flushdns before I posted but I guess I was avoiding having to log into all the other sites again as well.

Yeah, sorry about the pain for everyone but it is all for the better. Ken, you are no moron you were just trying to log on a few times too many.

Cheers.

It keeps booting me out and even logged in says i dont have permission to view some attachments? I will clear browser history and cookies to see if that fixes it.
Thanks to Steve for all that you do!
