Sass Saloon trouble

[SHOOTIN FOX]

Is any one else having trouble viewing the Saloon?

[Yul Lose]

Yes. The only Saloon posts that I can see are ones I start or the most recent post on the Forums page. Been like that for a long time.

[SHOOTIN FOX]

Mine goes to the page, but no post appear.

Works fine for me.  Lots of posts on there.  This comes up once in a while maybe you can do a search.  Computer geeks talk about clearing the cache (?) or deleting the SASS website from your computer and reloading it (?).  Bottom line is the problem is on your end.

[Garrison Joe, SASS #60708]

Try clearing browser cache and internet cookies.   Sounds like the forum software believes that you have already viewed many of the posts and has decided you never want to see them again.

 

You need to know how to do the "clear browser cache and internet cookies" trick anyway for general cleanup.  Put into a search window the name of your internet browser followed by "clear cache and cookies."    See if you can follow instructions on one of the pages that come from that search.  You may have to enlist the help of the nearest 12 year old.

 

good luck, GJ

Not really but I am stumped as to how WJ responded to Deacon KC 3  hours before he posted (even though in WJ's response, it indicated 6 hours after)!

 

[Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L]

I can see it on my old iPad but not on my new iPhone or my desktop.

WJ is in Australia.  Time and space are different down there.

I did all of that and still the same.

I can access all the forums from SASS page but when I click on saloon it’s blank on iPhone works on ipad. 

[Marauder SASS #13056]

Probably had a few too many??  !

 

[Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461]

same for me blank on the iphone?

 

[Sawhorse Kid]

I don't think it is just the Saloon.

Lately any post I make takes 3-4 try's before it takes.

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

Just double checked my IPhone.  Saloon works fine.

[watab kid]

nope - works fine for me 

[SHOOTIN FOX]

Everything works on a regular computer, but ipad the saloon is blank.

Same here. Doesn’t work on 3 iPads but will work on iPhone where I can get cellular. Works fine on my wife’s computer.

[Singin' Sue 71615]

Hmmmm....my low tech Android shows it fine.

I believe problem is an incompatibility with something unique to SASS Saloon and Chrome browser Settings.  Maybe a pop-up or redirect blocker. It is not consistently a problem on all machines because Chrome is not configured the same on everyone's install.  Could happen on other browsers with equivalent settings.

 

• I can't open SASS Saloon with cell phone using Chrome browser.
• Can access all other SASS forums using Chrome. 
• Can access SASS Saloon using cell and generic "Internet" browser bundled with cell phone OS (with no extensive Settings changes to "Internet".) 
• Laptop and desktop computers, no problem with Chrome.

 

I sent email to administrator several months ago regarding issue, but never heard back.

 

Samsung s21, Android OS fully updated, Chrome browser fully updated.  5G or fiber via wifi network, same as laptop or desktop.

 

 

[SHOOTIN FOX]

corrected  itself 

[Buckshot Bob]

Happening on my iPhone right now . Email link is the only way it will open  

[Palouse]

Figured it out.  (Simple)

 

Issue is just an out-of-synch cookie.

 

Answer: Reset cookies for forums.sassnet.com, as below.  Reset concept also likely to apply to iPhone/Safari.

1. In Chrome on your cell phone, goto SASS forums page.
2. Touch the little tiny lock icon next to the URL at top of page
3. Touch, "Cookies" at bottom of popup window
4. Touch "xx cookies in use" at bottom of popup window.
5. Touch "Clear" in "Clear cookies?" popup window.
6. SASS Saloon now opens without issue.

I forgot to test cookies.  I usually do not clear cookies on "good" websites, and using standard History reset in Chrome to clear cookies deletes all.  With above procedure, you can delete just the forums.sassnet.com cookies, and SASS Saloon will work as expected.  The SASS Headquarters said there was a version release within the last few months, and I had not cleared cookies for at least that long.  A full system cookie clear will work also; Chrome/<ellipsis>/History/"Clear browsing data ..."/"Clear Data" on the "Cookies and site data"

Went and cleared my history in safari, didn’t help 

[Buckshot Bob]

And if it’s cookies how come just the saloon 

[Buckshot Bob]

I can get there from a email link or a alert or even clicking on someone’s profile and clicking a saloon link , just not off the home page. Everything else besides the saloon seems to be working fine
