anyone else having an issue posting on tradgang with your iPhone. I get on TG 90% of the time from my iPhone but starting thursday I can log in , but the second I attempt to post of check my profile it kicks me out saying that your_name is missing and then it sends me to a blank page that says parallel H. If I circumvent and come back in thru the history I can see TG again AND log back in. But then again the second I try to post or do another function that requires you to be logged in and registered I get kicked out. I am wondering if its something under my username or what. I even went and got a new iPhone today and its the same thing so It is not just my old iPhone
-
No problems at all for me and I always use my iPhone. Might want to check settings on your phone.
-
Was doing the same with my Phone Thursday night , but all is well now! At least your not alone. :banghead:
-
It was not working for me this week also... If the this post works mine works again
-
Mine is still jacked up
-
Turn your phone off for 30 seconds and back on.
-
^^ I work in I.T. and that fixes 95% of the problems :bigsmyl:
-
Btw this may be better taken care of if posted on the TG and comp section. Rob does a good job of keeping up with the tech stuff if posted over there.
-
I'm having issues too. Started last week. Keeps giving me "The form you submitted appears to be incomplete." "You did not complete your_name" Glad it's not just me. Turned if off and on a couple times but no change.
-
Mine is messed up to. I have to login every time I do something and can't access my profile on my iPhone. It started Thursday also

I get this exact message. Glad its not just me. I contacted the webmaster and they were under the thinking that it was just a problem with my phone, and so was I but now it seems to be an issue with either safari or the MAC OS and Trad gang compatibility. Im sure they will get the problem solved for us iPhone users.
-
same thing happening here and I've done a reboot and it's still doing it.
Trap
-
Posting From my phone right now to test it...
-
^^ That post above and this post just right now are both from my phone :dunno:
-
BTW, my ios version is 6.0.1
-
Mines been jacked up all day.
-
If you can read this mine is working fine.

Check that your settings for cookies is set correctly...i.e., set to accept cookies from visited or all. I prefer visited sites vs all. Then clear all history, turn/shut down completely for a minute. This should reboot and fix your iPhone.

No problem here. I'm using my iPhone now with no issues

I did all of that and nothing fixed it. So i took it to the apple/iphone store and they said all items were set correctly. My contract was up for renewal so I EVEN bought a new iPhone and its the same. It has to be something in the sight that is doing it. I belong to other forums and registered sights and have no issues.
I have been accessing tradgang from my iPhone for a year now and this is a new problem. hopefully it is fixed soon
-
No issues with mine.
-
I am having the same problems for a week, frustrating.
-
I have AT&T. I use my iPhone as a hotspot to run my computer also. My computer is doing the same thing. But when I went to my neighbors and ran directly off there internet it worked fine. Talked to att on the phone for 30 mins. They have no clue either
-
I'm not an IT guy, but from looking at your location "from" on your posts, it must be a Mid-West thing, or maybe the stars are beginning to align themselves, wait the calendar was off remember, 12/12/12! :biglaugh:
JL :archer2:
-
well then that solves it, its and iPhone issue. I have ATT Uverse as my internet at the house, and I have an Apple MAC computer with no issues, but its my IPhone only. Hopefully they fix it soon. I am addicted to TradGang like I am Grizzly dip, I start jonesing when I can not get on
-
Mine kept saying I wasn't logged in but my name was up there. I'd log in but still couldn't get to my profile or post. I rebooted and its working ok for now.
-
did you re-boot by holding the sleep and actions buttons?
-
No prob here.
:dunno:
-
getting old with the iPhone issue, I wish AT&T would get this resolved.
-
Have the I 5 with Verizon , no issues here
-
Test post. I have an iPhone and AT &T.
Sent from iPhone.

-
Mine is doing the same exact thing, maybe it is a Midwest thing. When I'm running off wifi it works fine though. If you get on tradgang through a section like classifieds instead of home page, it will work fine.
-
It just did it again until I walked inside and connected to wifi
-
No celestial issues here or Mayan end of the world theory either. :laughing:
JL :archer2:
-
And to run it in, when I try to post it says "Hi, Ray Hammond
You aren't logged in" !!!! :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:
-
I use an Android phone(HTC Desire) and never experienced any problems with it on any websites.
:dunno:
-
the issue with smartphones and the internet is, for the most part, the browser. a few months back i had an android bionic - no problem accessing trad gang in any way.
-
I'm having the same problems. Tried the set cookies, clear history and shut phone down and it still didn't work. I'm using wifi now so I'll see if it works. By the way, I'm using an iphone on ATT too.
-
another reason to avoid apple, i guess. :dunno: heck, i don't even like microsoft. linux is my preferred os.
clearly to me, this is an apple i-whatever issue as i've had emails with the exact same symptoms for i-phone and i-pad.
almost all forums and websites work via "session cookies". when you login to trad gang, tg sends your computer a session cookie. this cookie remains until you shut down your browser. once you have the cookie, tg checks it every time you attempt to do something allowed only to the membership. that validation tells tg it's okay for you to use all the functional privileges of a member, like creating new threads and posting on existing threads.
for whatever reason, some i-whatevers either aren't getting or retaining the tg cookie. sure sounds like that's the problem.
-
Unfortunately, it's not only an iPhone issue.
Up until last week, my Android Samsung Galaxy S2 was working fine. Then it started to give my the "your_name is missing" error message when trying to submit a reply to the post.
Now, when I try do do certain other things, like get to my profile, or someone else's from a topic, I get a message that says that I need to login before doing that, even though I'm logged in. I humour the program by logging in, but it just bounces me back out the same message.
I've have a few other issues, like remaining on the same page, when I try to back up, etc. Most web browsing works, and links in the forums work.
For me, the problems appear to have started after the last Tradgang upgrade.
-
A couple of things that I tried was to purge the cache, and then doing a complete shutdown. Didn't help.

there have been no changes to trad gang forum software in over 6 years.

it really appears to be a session cookie problem, as describe above. if so, the question is why isn't your server accepting cookies from trad gang?
maybe they think we're bad guys.
here's part of an email i sent to trad ganger having the same problems using an i-pad ...
it's not unusual for a net/broadband provider to block incoming data from some servers because this data is thought to be from spammers, hackers or buggers. the data can be emails or data downloads .... or cookies. this is becoming very very annoyingly common.
for the most part, if a lot of spam appears to be emanating from a specific server, your server can deem them spammers and block inward data coming from them (their server, i.e. - tradgang.com) to you (your server - i.e. verizon.com).
lots and lots of worldwide spam is done via relaying off host servers ("zombies" - where the bad guys hack your pc without you knowing it and use your zombied system to relay spam and other badness and it all looks like you did it).
-
Maybe this is related to what you just described, but I think it was early last week, I got a message, or maybe it was a web page, that Tradgang was down. Must have just been for maintenance, but my mind read that as an upgrade. A mind is a terrible thing to lose!
Anyway, I'm not have an issue with my desktop system, so maybe it's not the isp that's creating the problem?
I might try putting Firefox on my phone and see that might fix things up for me.
Thanks for the quick response.
Happy hunting!

last sunday i took the system down for 5 hours to prune out the old classifieds ads. yeah, takes that long. we're kinda big. there were no forum operating software changes.
if you have no problem with your desktop, is the operating system apple or windows? is your smartphone/tablet runnng apple or windows? do either share the exact same server or different servers (one for land line and the other for wireless).
i have lots of pcs that run linux (and one that works the dreaded windows if need be, and no apples). all are accessed via verizon cable broadband. however, my flip top cellphone is also verizon. both use very different servers.

Rob,
I use Fedora 17 on my desktop. My ISP is ATT.
I downloaded Firefox for my phone, tried it, and didn't like it, so I un-installed it. Went to PowWow and opened profiles from various posts, and they opened just fine! You speak, and the app responds! Such power...thanks!

so .... your phone is ok for tg use? no more issues?
-
It appears to be o.k. now. Replied to a post and that worked too.
Really strange. Yesterday, I was trying to get to my profile thru a post so I could show someone my profile photo, and I had the login issue. I tried it later in the day, and still had the problem. Now it all works.
Sorry to have bothered you on this fine Sunday.
-
no problem for me at all, just curious as to what the problem is all about. still dunno ....
-
I only get the error message when I am using the cellular (3G) network. As long as I am connected to any wi-fi network things work fine. I can turn off my home wi-fi, defaulting to the cellular network and I cant post but as soon as I turn on my wi-fi things work again. Hope this helps and thanks Rob for looking into it.

what error message are you getting?
if you could do a screen capture (print page to an image and save) and email that direct to me [email protected] that would help a bunch - thanx!
-
Same problem here most of the time. I am using a nexus 7 tablet. Only happens on at&t 3g cell service.
-
Shows my handle and being logged in but error msg is you must be logged in to perform this function
-
I finally paid attention to when I am having the problem: Everything is o.k. when I'm on WIFI, but it doesn't work when I'm on AT&T 3G. I need to make a few phone calls to get this resolved.
-
I'm having same problems. Very frustrating. Darn IPhones.
-
I am now trying to connect at a McDonalds resturant as I have not been able to post in weeks using my AT&T service, I could think of better words than frustrating to describe my feelings but I better not !
If this post shows up it means I to can post if I'm not connected to AT&T !
Dan
Edit: I see I too can post if I'm not using AT&T, I was not going to change providers until spring as I will need to get wired for another provider. It's gonna be a long winter without being able to post on tradgang :dunno:
-
All the same problems with both IPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Both on AT&T. Can browse fine when not logged into Tradgang. When I log in cannot browse past page 1 OR post. Real pain. Everything works fine on WiFi.
-
Test
iPhone works only when hooked to wifi.
Since I'm on the road and go most of the time
That means it is useless 90% of the time!!!!
Never had this issue before and I have not gotten a new
iPhone or iPad. I've tried everyone of the tricks listed!
-
there are known issues with smartphones and the at&t wireless network and some online forums such as trad gang.
one fix has been to make sure your smartphone browser is google and not bing.
-
My phone is now working on the 3G network. Maybe my posts on the ATT forums did some good!
A new issue has cropped up in that most photos don't show up, though it doesn't matter what network I'm on. This appears to be a browser (the built-in one) issue on my Android phone. Tried Firefox, and it displays the photos, but what ugly rendering of the web pages! Will it ever end?
