This morning, on going to this website as usual, I find I am not myself.

The account I find myself in is also a Facebook one, and coincidentally also belongs to a tandem rider.

I wonder how I get back to my own saved routes :-(

I cleared all the cookies from my browser, logged in to Facebook, and then here, and am myself again.

but two minutes later I seem to be David again:-(

Mon 25 May 2015, 08:57

swapped computer, but still after a minute or so I am David :-(

Mon 25 May 2015, 09:03

I can log out, but a minute later I am David again.

Now I seem to be logged out as soon as I go to the map :-(

Definitely something weird going on. I'm investigating...

Mon 25 May 2015, 19:48

I think I've nailed this down (an edge case that showed up when a lot of people were logging on at the same time... nice problem to have!). Let me know if there are still problems.

thanks, looks good now

nice that use is growing then :-)

Still not working.  I can log in but get logged out pretty much straight away.  EG if I open one of my routes and make a small edit and hit save the change will not be saved because I've been logged out.

Here's hoping I've not been logged out typing this!

I may be experiencing similar problems. I get a login prompt on the "My [Bicycle]" link as usual, and log in. Things work for a bit and I can e.g. see may saved routes, but then it seem I'm silently logged out -- saving an edited route doesn't work (even though I get the box I'd expect with the options of using the current name or a new name, the change doesn't stick), and  clicking "My [Bicycle]" gives another login prompt.

Hm. Sorry for the hassle. I’ve tweaked it a bit more just now – any further issues?

Thanks Richard, working again for me (cycle.travel login).

Logins are broken again.  Login, go to route, download a tcx, close route and I'm shown the list of new route options not the expected list of my routes.

Yes I keep finding I'm logged out - twice now I've spent ages tweaking a route, Clicked save button, given it a name and found myself at the login screen with the route vanished never to be seen again!

Still trying to track this one down - will post any updates here.

Mon 1 Jun 2015, 11:16

It's proving a very difficult one to track down as it's intermittent - restarting the website fixes it, but since I need to restart the website every time the code changes anyway, it's difficult to know whether any fix I make has cured it or not!

I've just pushed another couple of potential fixes to the site - let's see if this changes it.

Mon 1 Jun 2015, 15:54

I'm still being booted out on pretty much every visit :(

Mon 1 Jun 2015, 19:52

To say that tracking this one down is proving frustrating would be understating it…! (For those of a technical bent: it appears to be resetting cookies whenever an AJAX response is made, but restarting the site fixes it for a few hours.) I’m still working on potential fixes. Sorry again for the hassle.

Tue 2 Jun 2015, 17:00

Has anyone encountered the issue so far today? It’s been working for me and I’m guardedly optimistic that the fixes I made last night might have worked…

Tue 2 Jun 2015, 19:15

I seem to be myself so far today.

Hi, this helps solve a mystery for me (the real David Miller, tandem rider). I logged into the site yesterday and discovered a route from "OS to Hull" in my Journeys. "Funny," I thought, "I don't remember any special desire to go to Hull …"

But to switch topics in mid-stream (and metaphors at the same time), my thanks again to you, Richard, for the cycle.travel route planner. We're just back in Canada after a wonderful 1060 mile English tour that your web-site made so much easier. Indeed, when we had a glitch in our Sat Nav on day one of the trip and lost all our recorded tracks (and could'nt get them back with a switch to a back-up memory card!), cycle.travel and a lap-top computer made our tour possible. 

Tue 2 Jun 2015, 20:53

That's lovely to hear - thank you! And hopefully I might have some news about the site later this week which you'll like...

And I'm very relieved that the logins appear to be working again. (For those of a technical bent: we weren't setting a Content-Length header on AJAX responses, which appears to have triggered an overrun; setting it has made everything ok again.)

I left myself logged in overnight and hit save on a small change this morning, all good thanks Richard.
