So, when your log in to forum, why does it re-direct you to Roblox? I cleared my cookies, and I logged back into the forum and it redirected me to Roblox. Furthermore, since I already logged in through this process, why when I close the forum I have to log in again? Is this done intentionally?
It’s a normal thing for the DevForum. Most likely in a couple hours of being away from the website, I was forced to login. If you go away from DevForum for a long time, it redirects you to Roblox.
I don’t think thats true.
If you log out of the forum or your clear any existing data/cookies on it, I will require you to login again. If I log out right now, I can log in no problem. But If I clear my cookies, etc. I have to login twice. Once to get redirected to Roblox and then again to login.
It’s not a problem for me if I get logged out in a matter of minutes, but as I get away from the website for too long, for example: school, I had to log in again for once.
So if you go away from a few hours or clear any data, it’ll require you to login twice? It’s kinda pointless that I get redirected to Roblox.
I mean, it’s possible on me when I am on mobile.
This Devforum is operated by a service called Discourse, and devforum uses a custom login system (Single-Sign-On).
devforum uses Roblox account information to process login.
So devforum have to get your login information on the Roblox site.
If you cleared your cookies, you probably cleared your Roblox site cookies as well as the DevForum cookies?
Clearing your cookies means your clearing your preferences for a site (this includes but is not limited to login info). Since the DevForum uses Roblox to log you in, this is 100% expected. It’s not pointless for this to be done. You just have to go to the DevForum twice, it’s not that hard.
