Thanks for the info CT, but for those of us using private browsing and vpns, this isssue still persists. It can only seemingly be cleared if browsing openly and non-securely. Is there a solution for us browsing privately ? All data is cleared and caches report 0 as expected, but still getting 502 when logging out. It isn't a big issue, as cookies work as should in private browsing because of manual cookie whitelists, and sites still operate normally per purge-cacheing. It probably is more likely firefox screwing up as they always do every update :rolleyes:
 
Yup, same as waspie, ok when you clear while logged in then log out, but once you have done a few pages then log out the error is back, also using private browsing with FF, no big deal as said before,
 
Thanks so much for tracking down the problem and for giving such clear and easy instructions for the solution.

What you do is really appreciated.

Best wishes

Don't know if it's the same for my UK or Euro brothers with Firefox, but yes clearing the cachet every time will get a clean log out, but only on the second time after refreshing or reloading from the bookmark, nothing will get a logout on the first attempt.
I'm not fussed at all, it has just become a standard routine to double logout, no biggie, just curious phenomena.

Hello CT
When I log onto the forum on my IPhone it says on top of the screen WEBSITE NOT SECURE . Is it safe to log in on my phone when it says WEBSITE NOT SECURE , would it create problems for the site if I do ?

This is a recent Chrome 'feature'.

It's Google's attempt at forcing (encouraging) all websites to have a Security Certificate (SSL) where none may be needed.
 
Yep, algaeholics is correct. There is currently no need for a security certificate on this site, so none has been installed.

You're as safe logging on here as you are on most other sites. It creates no problems for the site. :)

Well, guess whats been happening to me again!

Quick update for Firefox users who get the dreaded 502 bad gateway error.

Things have moved around in the options. I'm on V.64, don't know when things actually changed but now to change indovidual cookies.

  • Open Menu (top right of firefox)
  • Options (from dropdown)
  • Privacy and security (left of screen)
  • Scroll down to History and ensure that it says "Use Custom Settings for History"
  • Scroll up to "Cookies and Site Data"
  • Select "Manage Data"
  • In search box enter "UKLoveDollForums" in the search box
  • Click the entry/entries and remove selected
  • Save Changes
  • Close and reopen Firebox
  • Wouldn't hurt to also do a CNTL + F5

You should now be OK. All other instructions as per CT's excellentoriginal post
