[jpishgar]

In an effort to improve cyber-security for Tom's Hardware members, we're asking everyone to log back in between today and August 16.

Heads Up, Readers! Important Account Migration Info For Tom's Hardware (Plus Free Stuff) : Read more

 

[DookieDraws]

I logged in earlier today. Glad to see security being taken more seriously around here.

Thanks!

 

[schwatzz]

Will site wide HTTPS be implemented too?

 

[adavisiii]

I got the email and logged in. Increased security is always a plus, in my eyes.

 

[eodeo]

All is well as long as you dont force us to change passwords.

 

[CKKwan]

Glad that I am still alive and able to login

 

[CharlieSummers]

Increased security, or a huge leak used for marketing purposes, your call. I don't want to share my information with untrusted and marketing companies like Auth0 and Purch. Yet suddenly here I don't have a choice, if I want to log in. Makes me not want to log in so much.

 

[enewmen]

My username/pass from the 90's still works and unchanged.

 

[yoji]

Why did/does the login not work in IE11? (just a blank, black screen) I disabled AV just in case, but no improve, worked fine on firefox but not IE... I know IE is not as popular as it was - but come on!!! (and spare me the ridicule re IE and how I should use <insert every other browser>).

 

[bigpinkdragon286]

Can't login via Internet Explorer, but Firefox and Edge seem to work. Is this an issue that will be addressed or a permanent change?

 

[damianrobertjones]

Same here no ie. Bit stupid. I also don't want my email being shared with any other company. Can't web sites like this be morally positive?

 

[Kennyy Evony]

There is no HTTPS. This site probably wont see https for two or more years.

 

[jazzy663]

Thank you. Logging in has always been a little dodgy, especially on mobile.

 

[clonazepam]

Looking forward to the day I have to recognize 128 street signs to log in and make comments like this one 😀

 

[LORD_ORION]

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that you (Tom's) has THE WORST forum software of all the sites I visit.

Messages are often lost when posting (post and enter login credentials...poof)
Messages are often posted in the wrong section (login and then copy paste and post, oops, you are not in the same place when you logged in)
Errors are abundant (login and press the back button)

 

[alextheblue]

I don't see the "Read comments on the forums" button anymore. Am I the only one?

 

[jpishgar]

Hey there all. Thanks for the heads-up on these items.
I've forwarded them along to the team for triage. There are going to be a few bumps and hiccups along the way, but we're working to get them resolved in short order. Much appreciate your patience in the interim.

-JP

Hey there all!

TIP: If you are experiencing difficulty signing in with your username, please try using the email you signed up with instead.

Known/Reported Issues:

• "0AUTH Error: Redirect URL is wrong" issue where this error is received upon attempted login.
• Username and Avatar on article comments and login screen shows email nickname from Google instead of Tom's username and avatar.
• The link to "Comment from the Forums" is missing in article comments from editorial pages.
• Random difficulties signing-in using username and password. (See above tip for workaround.)
• Login issues for Internet Explorer 11, generates a blank screen.

There are naturally a few hiccups with the transition, so we ask your patience in bearing with us as we work out the bumps in this migration. Devs have been notified of these issues and we hope to have them resolved soon.

-JP

Please continue to follow along in the associated migration megathread, found here:

[FritzEiv]

Re: HTTPS. Yes. The work is in progress right now. And no, not in two years; actually very soon. Many of our sister properties have already made the transition.

 

[bentremblay]

This related to the EMail I got earlier? seemed .... spooky. (I didn't not click the link but came here / logged in manually.)

Maybe you can have someone man your Twitter account to field questions.

Here is something weird that happens in the forums it says at the top of the forum:
Last response: August 12, 2017 1:38 AM
But when I look at the last response it says it was posted on:
August 11, 2017 2:00:30 PM

 

[envy14tpe]

Thanks for continuing to be the best online site for PC hardware and builds.

 

[shrapnel_indie]

I too don't see a "Comment in the forums" link or button.

Also, tune into thos thread for the giveaways?

 

[Dugimodo]

Next Mission, stop bugging me about notifications or signing up to the E-mails, the first 100 times I declined should have been enough.

 

[derekullo]

I also can't upvote or downvote posts, no arrow below the post.
