Mac Safari can't login, FF3.3.6.28 can't reply, has cursor issues.

Question

I can't login on safari/mac. sign in keeps saying:

     The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:
This site may be experiencing a problem
The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network
You can:
You can sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later at this site

FF3.6.28/Mac (as previosuly reported) can post, can't reply. Even when posting though, the cursor stays frozen at the beginning of the text being typed in until there is a delay of about 2.5 seconds. THis does not affect typing, but it looks really strange.

Answer 1

Mac, so this is desktop, right?

Anybody else able to repro?

Thanks!

Answer 2

It a desktop. OS X 10.7.3

If i choose "Reset Safari..." from the Safari menu i can login again, for one thread. Then it does the login loop again.

When i was trying the "Keep me signed in" checkbox, it prevented me from log gin in.

When i tried posting before, i got a strange error. "http://social.msdn.microsoft.com" with an [OK] button. I'd post a screenshot, but that doesn' t seem to load either. It seems to be quite moody.

Answer 3

Test reply (without a reload).

Answer 4

So you can't upload an image either?

Answer 6

Need to see if this is forums specifically or just the log in. Can you try signing in and out of these: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ and http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/ ?  Are you at all able to reproduce the problem for these urls?

I'd like to narrow it down a bit, this would help us.

Answer 10

Was able to sign in this morning. This is a test reply. I will browse away, then back for a possible second reply.

Answer 11

Issue still exists on Safari/Mac OS X. SIgn in allows one reply in one thread. After that, browser needs to be reset to reply without error.

Answer 12

FF 3.6.28 on OSX test.

Answer 13

Submitted a bug request.

Thanks!

Answer 14

Let's build this out better, Brian. We need to be very specific for the test team to repro this.

 

What's the issue?

FF 3.6.28 on OSX - What are the issues? Please be very specific. You seem to be replying with it now.

Safari/Mac on OSX - You can't log in?

Answer 15

And a good point from Brent...

Also see if you can log into your profile from Safari, TNWiki, Gallery, and other "apps". That helps isolate if it's platform or forums specific.

 

Thanks!

Answer 16

I believe the FF issue has been resolved on both Windows and the Mac.

The Safari/Mac issue is a logout issue.

1. Open Safari.
2. Safari->Reset Safari…
3. [Reset] (everything checked).
4. Go to forums.microsoft.com
5. Click Sign in link in upper-right corner.
6. Username/password,   click [OK]
7. Click [Send] on security warning.
8. Click MSDN Forums from forum list
9. Click a forum from list: MSDN Sandox
10. Click [Ask a Question]
11. Type in title [test] and subject [testtest]. click [Submit]
12. Click My Forums
13 Click a forum from list: MSDN Sandox
14. Click [Ask a Question]
15. I got the login error here.

This seems to be a timing issue, as if i wait in between steps. the error happens earlier.

Answer 17

Brent, do we have this bug reported?

Thanks!
