Haven't been able to get into PY for several hours until now. I managed to get in using the link with what I think is the last PM email I received and saved before things change. This is the error message I've been getting:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

Agree. I did a similar work around to get in.

I get that too the last couple days, have to click a saved link for another thread to get in.

Also the cloudflare thing doesnt work for crap... every day it shows the box youre supposed to check but after 2-3 seconds says "verification successful" & lets me in without ever clicking the box to prove Im human.

& email notices still dont work making it difficult to follow up with threads youve commented on...

The cloudfare thing leaves a cookie on your computer so it doesn't need to use the checkbox. But the cookies are only good for a certain amount of time, so has to be re-verified.

Same here for me. I finally was able to get in by punching the address into a search bar.

Even if I save a new link in my Favorites, next time I go into it the same thing happens. I have to go to the "back door" method.

15 min ago I had the messages when using the bookmarked link. Then I went in 'backdoor'. Then I retried my bookmark link and it worked ok.

How does one notify someone in charge of the forums? (IT guy)
I think the main page - index.php is infected? Or the page index.php wants to load.


The source code from the index.php that loads 'correctly' has a load of links to some very bad places at the top of the code. This is probably why the error message shows.
The php page has already sent the good stuff, but the bad part tries to take over and php shuts it down and sends the error message.


The pages on the sub-forums aren't affected.

That might be how its supposed to work but hasnt been working like that for me on a normal PC. I had to verify every day on first sign in by checking the box for the first month or 2, shoot even had to re click it after 10-15 minutes of browsing the site but not posting before it would let me then make a post.

But for the last couple days or a week on first daily sign in it just let me in without clicking anything... seems to have got worse with this new cookies error at the main home page... i have to find a link to another thread like mentioned above before I can get in.

As with most the other problems we had in the recent past, seems to be different for different people or PC's/browsers/phones.

Open a link to a thread you have, then after it opens (the cookie is set for now), then open your main link to the main page. Since the cookie is already set, the main page will open. Once the time runs out for the cookie, you will need to reopen a separate thread link and start again.

To see what I was referring to:
With the main link page open (index.php) right click on page and click on 'View Page Source'

at very top of that new page will be some places you don't want to try!

Lovely

Does this mean the source code for the entire forum can be edited by creepazoids?

The only way I can get in is to enter a sub forum. That bypasses the cloudfare check screen and I don't get the error.

Finally got back on here after a few days.

Cell phone got back on but computer still gets same message that others mentioned.

It doesn't let you check a box to verify.

I used a old link to my ad from Google and got back on the computer.

Maybe they can get it fixed.

I'm still only getting signed in by getting to one of my ad links by doing a online search and signing in. Phone or computer.
