Yep, definitely on the radar :)

There it is... whoever setup the security policy for that browser has disabled localStorage, which Persona requires to keep someone logged in.

There's not much we can immediately do about this (unless there's a way a non-admin can change that setting in their browser, very unlikely but I'll check).

But a few good things have come out of this: one is, we can put that test script somewhere on microcosm and determine what proportion of users on IE8 this affects. Persona supports IE8, but not if those features are disabled, and there isn't any data on how many people that is.

The other is... we've been discussing hosting Persona ourselves (the code is entirely open source) or using another service to host it, which might mean we can add a workaround.

Adding another login mechanism (such as Google Account) is also a potential thing. The way we've built the platform would make this pretty straightforward.

Anyway, thanks for helping diagnose. Sorry to say I can't fix this now, but it's given us food for thought on logins.

Ok, this should be the last one:

http://lloyd.github.io/persona-troubleshoot/troubleshoot.html

This page just runs some simple tests for things that Persona needs to work.

If you could paste the output, that'd be great.

Having a little chat with the folks over at Mozilla. They suggested visiting http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ -- could you copy the User Agent text and paste it here?

(No need to paste the IP address).

It might be a specific version of IE8 that isn't getting recognised correctly by Persona.

Thanks for bearing with me so far :)

Sites are up... is it working now Branwen?

I just reset my Persona password and it worked ok.

DK is just redeploying the site, I suspect that'll clear this (in the middle of deploying new code + clearing database).

Is that on http://sandbox.microcosm.app ? The html looks different.

Edit: noticed it's on lfgss, but might be in a different mode on the sandbox

thanks for efforts bp; still not possible (IE8, compatibility view disabled)

Ok, one last question: what happens when you press F12 - do you see 'Browser Mode: IE 8' and 'Document Mode: IE 8 Standards' as in the screenshot below? (mouse is over the first area)

Assuming dev tools are even enabled, of course.

There are a large number of browser features that can be enabled/disabled by group policy so it's difficult to guess what the problem is.

The other thing is... Persona is totally open-source, so it's within the bounds of possibility that we might modify it to fix this (though not in the near future).

One click to delete a microcosm
Scary...

That's why the button's red... :)

Agreed though, all the delete buttons must have a confirmation dialogue, recorded here -- https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microweb/issues/27

Because my corporate machine doesn't run a modern browser, and is locked down, I can neither log in to the sandbox nor the github.

This isn't the case when at home or on mobile device, but I suspect many a casual user likes to interact with lfgss while at work on corporate machines.

The issue has been brought up twice (me and hippy) yet hasn't made it onto the list of 39 problems. Therefore please add!

Done: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microweb/issues/57

Which version of Internet Explorer are you using? (found by clicking the cog at the top right > About)

Persona is stated to work with IE8 and IE9, but I had to manually turn off "Compatibility View" (Tools > Compatibility View) to get it to work. Does it work if you change that? (if the corporate policy even allows it).

All that's needed to force that automatically is a small HTML change, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately (for us) it's possible to stop anyone changing the compatibility view setting using Group Policy, so if that's a common thing then we'll need a workaround.

Got a bottle of this for turning older:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 I believe is the RFC for email addresses. It's worth checking over, as it's far less strict about what's a valid email address than people think generally, and most of the plugin checkers for email address validation are far too strict.

You're right, and we won't be using email address to derive profile names past the Alpha - it was just a quick stop-gap to give everyone a profile name without a longer signup flow.

In future we'll have a 'fill out your profile' page that you get punted to when first logging in, with how to set profile name + avatar.

I've added a 'more detail required' label.

In order to migrate an existing forum, I'd want to be able to show a "landing page" of selected microcosms/

Microcosms will be sorted by popularity (by default, when it's implemented).

Though there's no reason why an admin couldn't "sticky" them, I'll add it as a feature request.

Where can you see the profiles?

I'm going to poo on the other teenslain...

At the moment you can only see your own profile:

You mean clicking rsvp means comments about an event?
Perhaps this could be clearer

Anyone can comment on an event if the creator has enabled it, RSVP doesn't change that at the moment.

That raises an interesting feature idea though... maybe there should be a permission for "comments only allowed by those who've RSVPd".

I spent too long typing!

On events, there's always a comment thread (if the creator of the event has enabled comments).

This is the case with polls too (which aren't visible yet). They're all just items that may or may not have comments enabled on them.

Calendar is definitely on the todo list... along with an easy way to search for events in a particular microcosm, and probably a map view too.

Fixed. Momentary bad configuration of the server.

okay, yet on a corporate ie8 machine it is not possible to sign in

That's a bug... I'll take a look.

style tags are fun

https://sandbox.microcosm.app/conversations/5/

Hah... I removed some of the scripts as it was wearing out my Esc key, but the new colour scheme can stay.

Pagination should be fixed. Your posts were all appearing, it's just there were no buttons to navigate to the next page.

D'oh...

I did the Induction today. Loved it and will definitely be back next week for Basic Training.

I stayed afterwards and caught some of the Novice Racing:

I also shot the last two laps of the first race on my iPhone:

Nice. I'm planning to go the induction just as soon as I've got a free weekend.
