My username is actually 31dot, and I am an admin at Memory Alpha and the Law & Order wikis. Whenever I attempt to log in to a wiki other than Memory Alpha, my log in in rejected and I get the following message: "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."

When I do so, nothing changes. I can log into Memory Alpha fine, just nowhere else. I've already sent a message through Special:Contact but I didn't know if anyone here could offer help. Thanks 72.224.177.228 11:10, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

That happened to me before, it will reload the page, then click on your user page icon on the top-right corner of the page, then it should work Sam Wang 12:42, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

31Dot: please can you clear your cache and cookies and try again? And let us know if that helped... thanks -- sannse WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:23, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
Fwiw, I got something along the lines "You need to specify a valid account name" when trying to log into my account earlier. Clicking "log in" again worked. 1358 (Talk) 17:34, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I cleared all my cookies and cache, but nothing happened(still getting that message). I made sure to reload the page as it said, but that did not do anything.

The only thing that I have done differently than normal in the last few days is access Memory Alpha from another computer. I don't know much about that sort of thing but I am wondering if that would be detected as a "problem with your login session".--72.224.177.228 21:16, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I still have no trouble getting into Memory Alpha, just every other wiki.72.224.177.228 21:17, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

This is very odd. Having a separate session (on another computer) should have no effect, and clearing your cookies should remove any existing session on this one. I'm also not seeing problems with any personal stylesheets...
I've been talking to the techy types, and they have a couple of questions:
  • does this happen with another browser?
  • does this hapen if you log in to Community after clearing cookies (and before visiting Memory Alpha)?
  • are you rejecting cookies from wikia.com?
Those might help us understand a bit more... Thanks -- sannse WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:48, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry- I didn't intend to be odd. :)
  • I tried it with both Firefox(which I use normally) and IE, and it happened with both.
  • It does happen when I attempt to log into this wiki.
  • Both Firefox and IE are set to accept all cookies.

I see that someone made a post to my Wall on the Test wiki- when I am in Memory Alpha I get a message about it and when I click on the message it takes me to my Wall on the Test wiki but under my IP and not under my username.72.224.177.228 02:27, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Additionally, when I come here and attempt to post after having cleared out my cache and cookies, and before going to Memory Alpha, my posts were rejected as "harmful". 72.224.177.228 02:28, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I also tried creating a new account as a test and got the same error message(problem with your session). 72.224.177.228 11:49, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I tried to turn on my Facebook Connect(to see if that would help) and I was not able to do so- the words "connect this account with Facebook" were on the screen but there was nothing to click or anything else to do.72.224.177.228 11:56, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be working now. I'm not sure what happened exactly- but I did switch to a different antivirus program today, so I'm not sure if the previous one I had was interfering with my logins somehow, though it never did until the last few days. I greatly appreciate the efforts of those who posted here. --31dot 21:12, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

So glad it's working! -- sannse WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:55, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
