Dear website team,
The preferences page for the eve-online wiki, a.k.a. the-place-I-have-to-go-to-change-to-my-primary-character-every-time-I-log-on-to-the-wiki, isn't loading (for me).
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Special:Preferences
Please,
A.) check into why:
- "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
- and IE never completes loading
B.) fix it so that the server remembers my character at log in... (the option to do this is in the preferences page... and doesn't work even when the page does)
Thanks
P.S.
Is anyone else getting this error or is it just me? |

Bump
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Special:Preferences (still broken)
Tried multiple machines at multiple locations.
Safari: something along the lines of: Infinite redirect detected. This error often occurs when a page redirects to a page which redirects to the original page.
Please fix this...

But, a friend found a workaround.
Apparently the "Opera" browser is able to overcome the issue and resolve the target page.
After logging in using Opera and navigating to the preferences page, any changes that you make to that session will persist in Firefox (not sure about other browsers). So you needn't continue using Opera after this point.
Happy editing... *goes forth to bask in the warm glow of wiki articles, then pauses thoughtfully and turns...*
*...gives the website team a cold glare* A month and a half with no love? Tisk... Tisk...
Hopefully you'll find the time to fix this at some point....
When you do, you will have my:

You should definitely hold on to it, it looks like the settings time out after a few days: also good for the odd crash or restart. |

The "Opera" browser workaround is still working for me. Give it a try. |

Cat, I get the results you describe when I enter a username and password for an account which has not been verified by the log-in system. I.e. if you have gone through a log-in (in eve-gate for instance) and it asked "what is the name of a character on this account" as a security question. Then you should be able to log in to the wiki. If you have not done that, the wiki log-in page redirects endlessly.
This verification may be needed on a per-computer (or perhaps per-IP) basis. Try first logging in the account your are trying to use at a few of the other Eve-online log-in locations... such as eve-gate, account management, api-key mangement... ect. After you get past the security question, you should be able to log-in to the wiki. (probably...) |

Still broken, even after the "wiki update". It's been 7 months and still no fix. Not even a nod from the website team, saying "we think we know what the problem is". This is horrible customer service. |

Thank you very much, but don't celebrate yet.
Confirmed, after a browser restart and cache clear, the SSO login and preferences pages both load.
However, when I go to change my "Default character", I cannot in any browser. Despite opening the pull down menu and selecting another character, when I go to "Save" my selection, lots of other options save properly, but the selected character perpetually reverts to the default "Default character".
Since the original problem this thread was addressing was the inability to change editing characters, and since the not even the Opera workaround works anymore, we've actually taken a step backward as far as usability is concerned.
Please have another crack at it and keep us updated.
Thanks again. |
