CHris is aware of the issue, its happening to us all.. for moment we just have to keep logging in.

He posted this on the Tamiya Club has been hacked thread.

There are a couple of issues that a few people are experiencing at the moment.

1. an error on the home page. I'm pretty sure this is a cookie problem, caused by me working on it while people were doing password reminders etc. I'm working on a fix. In the meantime clearing all cookies from this site seems to fix it for most.

2. password reminder arriving but clicking on the link gives and error. In most cases this appears as the email client being used adding something to the link in someway (probably trying to be over helpful) In this instance copying the link from the email and pasting it directly into the browser address bar seems to resolve the issue

3. At the moment the site currently forces you to log in everytime you visit. This is because I now store cookies in a very encrypted way on your machines, so encrypted even my system can't decrypt them at the moment. There is no work around for this at the moment but at least it makes things a bit more secure for you all (even while its not working)

4. finger trouble. I think largely down to the fact lots of people never actually manually logged in before, they have forgotton that old chestnut of the club, which is. For the mainsite you use email and club password and for the forum you use username and forum password. Still got a lot of people that get it wrong.

1,2 & 3 I'm obviously working on a proper solutions.

Its good the list has gone, I asked for it to be removed but never expected it too because of the nature and other content on that site. Maybe they took pity on us when I explained we were just a harmless club and not an FBI front. Don't assume this means its gone though, its still out there somewhere so all the advice of changing your password on other services still stand. TC security was never terrible, I put a lot of time and effort into it and took it very seriously (just ask anyone that asked me to send them their password) but they still found their way in. The security is now even tighter, checking for multitudes of things at lots of levels on every single page. This has me think about security on other sites now much more closely, I can't believe many of them have put in the sort of checks we now have, so I for one am going through all my online accounts and changing every one, even those where I didn't use the same password as TC. You should have a unique one per site, that doesn't follow any sort of pattern with any other site.

Hi all

The login issue seems to be fixed now (mine is anyway )

To make sure, delete the Tamiyaclub cookies from your browser.

(In Firefox, it's dead easy, go to tools/options/privacy then click the 'Show Cookies' button - you'll get a list of 'em in alphabetical order - scroll down to the Tamiyaclub one and delete the folder.)

After that, restart your browser and re-login to TC and the forum

After that, it should be 'business as usual' as far as logging in goes

Hi,

I'm still experiencing the login issue.

I've tried deleting cookies, restarting the browser, etc. countless times.

I have the problem on my computers (all using the latest Firefox version) as well as my iPad and iPhone.

So I guess it has something to do with my account?

Please help!

Thanks in advance
