Log in oddities

Has anyone noticed this site opening a random creation page when logging in? It’s happened to me several times in the past week.

After clicking the “Log in” button up top-right today, it took me to:

https://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/new/MIDITrckr/

I log in every workday morning using my work laptop and I’ve never seen that happen here (in Win10Pro & Firefox 101.0.1).

I only log in when I want to post something, which has only been 2 or 3 times this week, but I’ve never seen that happen. I use Safari on Mac at home, and Firefox on Windows 10 at work.

Just had this.

Using Chrome on Android.

Was reading Recent Posts.
Then looked at a wiki page (filetype FFC).
Went to login (top right link).
Logged in.
Suddenly “Creating Tracker”?

Backed out, then came here to post this. ;)

Nothing new, been seeing that for a long time.
Firefox on WinXP, Win7 and now Win10. I’ve just assumed it was an occasional glitch in the website code.

I log in every workday morning … and I’ve never seen that happen here

#MeToo (W8.1, Firefox generally-up-to-date since whenever)

Interesting.

Android Firefox (old version – 60.0.2 with much content blocking).
Go to Documents. Programmer’s Manual. File types. FFC Utility.
Then logged in. Worked as expected.

Repeated the process with Android Chrome 84.0.4147.111 (wtf!) and there was a brief pause before I got dumped into https://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/new/MIDITrckr/

I tried it on my other phone with Firefox 101.2.0 (plus UBlock) and it was repeatable.
I suspect going to login from the wiki might be a factor, as it doesn’t happen when I log in normally (via Recent Posts).

Repeatable? Uh-huh. Enough to do this: https://youtube.com/shorts/7iwSxMK61HI

YouTube calls it a short as it’s short (duh!) and recorded the annoying way up.
I’ve obscured my identity.

A factor maybe, but not sufficient. I’ve just tried logging in from the wiki using both Firefox 102.0, and Chrome. Both worked normally.

I have just had this. Never had it before but changed from Google Chrome to Firefox in the last few days.

I’ve never seen it happen. I look at the ROOL site fairly often with Firefox (always up to date) on Ubuntu.

I’ve see it happen on both Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge, so it’s not browser specific. Cookies or something server side perhaps?
