I believe its a caching issue. I haven't changed anything, so I'm not sure why this all of a sudden started happening.

What I have noticed is that the time at the bottom of the forum seems off. Example, right now it's showing me 2:36pm and the correct time is 3:41pm

When I browse to a different forum or thread - the time is showing correctly and it is showing me as logged in and things seem to work fine.

When returning to the homepage, it shows me the login boxes again and the time is again incorrect.

I did a fresh install of 4.1.4 to ensure it's not a style or plugin

you can see what happens with

username paultest
password fatmouse

Any ideas?

Yea I was logged straight back out

Weird it's happening to both VB3 and VB4 forums.

What are your cookie settings? I'd strongly suggest trying the suggested settings for a while if you aren't setup that way already.

Who's your web host? Is it dedicated or shared/VPS?

Also noticing it's putting the session hash or security token in the URL which it doesn't usually do when cookies are working.

My own problem is hit and miss on a dedicated. There has been no change in how cookies are handled. Today I haven't experienced the problem, but did yesterday. It isn't consistent. I tried the access provided by fatmouse twice and both times returned to the login. Same experience I'm getting off and on. Again, as I mentioned previously, I was able to login via my admincp and then access the forum. I should also note that this procedure doesn't always work. Strange problem.

Im running on Host Gator, I checked over my cookie settings, they're fine, but yet my members still cant log in.

This is weird. You both use different versions of vBulletin, and fatmouse is hosted on LiquidWeb, have no idea about keharris53, but it definitely can't be something that's caused intentionally by the forum leader.

Your best bet would be to PM one of the Support team members or developers at vBulletin.com (vB.org is more of a for hacks), as you have every right to ask for support.

You'd basically give them all logins, and they would try to find cause of the problem.

It happens alot with vb.. same problem with my forum members

[keharris53]

For whatever reason the problem has stopped again. Haven't had it happen for several days now and no members are complaining. Thing is, I only had two members complain of the problem. It began a few days before my first post, the problem seemed to have gone away, started again (per my posts) and it's gone again. Strange. Can't really have support look into right now...

[blackberry]

yes same stuff happens as i said before.. it happens with few of the members then automatically fixes

[keharris53]

Has anyone gotten a solution to this issue yet? Thanks.

I'm running IE v9.0.2. It's been upgraded since this problem started per my first post. Thing is, when I can't access to the board index, I can through admin, then open the forum from there.
I've not experienced this problem using Firefox. Now and then some of my members will experience the same problem. If anyone has found a solution, please let me know.

<a href="https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/383967-Invalid-redirect-url-appearing-since-security-patch/page3" target="_blank">vB developer Paul M. acknowledged there is a login bug</a> (and it affects both version because the programmers copied some code from version 4 to 3.8.7) but said they don't have an estimated release date for the solution.
