Forum login page could be more helpful


  • Hi!

    I managed to login yesterday, after a few weeks of trying from time to time. Turns out, I needed to first login into the Screeps browser version (I've been using the steam version), and then I was automatically logged into the forum when I visited.

    My suggestion: if someone tries to go to the forum and clicks on the login button, please add a notice that they should login at the game in that browser first, rather than loading a mostly white page and a spinning icon that never loads anything. Or if you've got more time, maybe copy the game's "log in via steam/x/x" options to that page, too?

    👍

    The login page on forum should redirect you to the game login page immediately, doesn't it happen in your case? Did you block redirects in your browser?


  • I think this is a bug in the forums. When I pull it up in Chrome in private mode, I get some errors in the browser console output.
