plexiprs Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The layout and the software really sucks. Every time I come to check the look is different, sometimes I have to log in, sometimes there is no log in button. And these guys want money for their software based modelers??? Forum software is EASY!!!! I'm not impressed at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The login retention on the forum is still broken, at least for me, and the "Sign In" button doesn't seem to work properly at all. I constantly have to back out, often several levels from the Helix forum and then come back in for it to log me back in and even that doesn't work consistently. Makes checking out the posts on the forum a real drag. Can we get this fixed already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never tell if I’m logged in, or not, for a great deal of the time. i thought it may be my router! No it’s this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charrison_2000 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Its pretty ridiculous, and doesn't reflect well on the Line 6 programmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The forum is "Powered by Invision Community" so it is not really Line 6 software, and I very much doubt that anybody involved in Helix Native or any device embedded software has anything to do with the forum as they are completely different specialties. But I do agree; forgetting who I am all the time - often in the middle of a browsing session, but then remembering again after F5 refreshing a random number of times isn't good, and that Sign In process that dumps you out at the main Site rather than the forum page you were looking at is really bad.

cruisinon2 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 And still no emoji's.... makes being a smart-a$$ unnecessarily difficult. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsd512 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 It is very annoying. When the forum suddenly decides it doesn't know who you are, I have found that if you refresh anywhere from 11 to 23 times, it will once again recognize you. We have the technology to send self-updating probes to the outer reaches of our solar system that illuminate our understanding of our origins on Earth and peer billions of years into the distant past with the most sophisticated telescopes and view the formation of distant galaxies over the vast gulf of space and time that have long since burned out, but somehow maintaining a user's identity on a gear forum on the internet is beyond our capability.

specracer986 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'm just happy to know I'm not the only one frustrated with getting logged out constantly. Misery likes company, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular reason you've discovered or chosen 11 and 23? Those numbers sound ominous to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own internal heuristics based on experience chose those numbers at semi random. And they're both prime. However, a little while ago, I became anonymous again, and this time it only took 8 refreshes. I still contend the median number of times required to refresh to regain identity lies between 11 and 23. Until proven otherwise. :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylotan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Most times I visit this forum, it's a case of: Load the forum. See that I've been logged out. Click the login link Answer the question about whether I accept cookies. Log in Answer the question about whether I accept cookies a second time Get redirected to the Line6 front page. Re-enter the forum in the address bar 7 steps when it should be 1. Not the end of the world, but pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
