Nah. the "Welcome, Mister X" on the top row is enough, no need for clutter. If the login failed for some reason (wrong details) it says so right in the box.

Brian, I think after you successfully logon there should be a glissando sound played (or possibly a tank kick - take your pick). —https://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh=9353f9155b5ff32e14c998495fd00da4&#!/rich.derksen.7 Last edited: Dec 14, 2011 13:43:10 |

Pop up login doesn't work for me, I have to log in with non-pop-up. It doesn't tell me that my password was good or bad (tried good and bad), just returns me to where I was. Deleted my cookies, still no luck. Using Opera if that counts —Storm Surge of Reverb: Surf & Instro Radio Last edited: Jan 02, 2012 15:30:41 |

Hmmm. If it doesn't work, the login window pops back up. If it does work, the window goes away, and the only thing that usually changes is the row of links under the logo.

Opera 11.6 on Mac OS X 10.7.2 is working. Make sure you're not blocking cookies - I know that throws an error on pretty much any browser: "Oops, we are detecting some strange behavior and are blocking this action. If you feel this is an error, please feel free to contact us. Thank you." Also check for browser plugins. For example, Disconnect blocks images embedded in threads here hosted on certain sites (for example, an image from Facebook) and just renders the word "image" as a placeholder. May be an unintended side-effect like that too. —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

It works for me, but one property of these new pop-up logins, here and elsewhere, is that they seem to be immune to my Symantec tool for autofilling logins. Suddenly I have to remember all my passwords again. |

Is anyone else having problems? I'm not hearing back from people that are. If you have anything that is blocking cookies, that could definitely be it. Over-active anti-virus or anti-malware programs perhaps? —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

No problems here. Suggestion/Request though. Could you make it so that it refreshes the browser after you hit "login" on the pop-up screen? For example, I'm reading a thread, I want to reply but I realize that I'm not logged in, so I go up click login and hit okay, but then I have to refresh the page again for it to read that I am logged-in. Not exactly a major issue! Nor minor! |

Jake I've been thinking about your suggestion and I may end up doing it. Let me consider it some more. I just found and fixed a hopefully obscure problem where the pop-up login would not work if you tried to do it from the account registration page. And I didn't try it, but now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't work from the "normal" login page either. I'm not sure if people are doing that, but it definitely didn't work. Just clear your browser's cache if you are experiencing that problem. So a handful of people have reported problems with this thing, and I've heard back from all but 2 of you. If you are still having problems with it I'd like to know. Thanks! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

BTW, the change I made last night may require you to clear your browser's cache in any event. If you aren't sure how to do that you can use this form instead: http://surfguitar101.com/accounts/login/ —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I'm considering removing this pop-up login form because it kind of sucks on a mobile device. Unless I hear strong opinions otherwise its probably going to go. I have figured out how to make the site redirect back to whatever page you were looking at before you clicked the login link. I think this was the biggest issue people were having that created the demand for this thing. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

While you're on the subject Brian. All the other sites of which I login prompt me to auto save my password. I'm quite happy to sign into SG101 manually, it really isn't any bother at all. But with so many login sites these days auto save has become a handy option. |

Isn't that something your browser does, not the website? Using Firefox, I don't have to enter my password every time I log in. —Old punks never die... They just become surf rockers. |

Yes that is true but my browser doesn't respond to SG101's login box. With other sites any sort of login evokes a popup option to save my password. Since SG101 v2 on XP (IE9) and my new PC with Win7 IE9 and IE10 I haven't had use of this feature. Last edited: Sep 01, 2013 07:30:26 |
