....

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:

Thanks

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...)

We will also be releasing the SSO update to Account Management, EVE Gate, Forums and the EVElopedia in the coming weeks. Once all the website are updated to use the new log in page - after logging in once you will not need to re-enter your credentials when you visit another EVE Online website.

Hi everyone. Apologies for the time it took for us to get this pushed out to you but the Preferences redirect problem has been resolved. We've also added Single Sign On to Evelopedia and updated the Item Database to Odyssey 1.0. A lot of work has gone into updating the code base and infrastructure for this site but there are still a few visual fixes to come.

Yes there are a lot of still to be fixed issues in general. I'm very aware this is a website that needs lots of care to get it up to standard, both in terms of these annoying usage issues and with some of the static content (e.g. the Item Database) currently housed there.

Also, please see this news item in case you're confused why we just reverted back to the old one until next week.

Please feel free to file bug reports on exact issues you encounter. Those get filtered to us and we can better act on them.

I am quite aware why you did this, as I reported the issue. In fact, it was the dev update in this thread that lead to the discovery of the issue, as I wanted to see for myself wether the changes had any impact on the bug this thread is about, and then stumbled on the potential info leak on Evelopedia.

Because I suspect that the issue may have something to with the bug in this thead, I will wait for the new version of evelopedia before I can make a final judgement about the bug and the "fix" but in the version that is now down, but it was actually worse because now my username seemed to now be my alt character permanently, even though I did most edits with my main.

The issue is the difference between feature request changes and bugs. Are functionality issues bugs.

I was at the web site round table two fanfests ago and was expecting some improvement in article structure and usability by now. O well

Has the future look and functionality: ie how DB entries and player generated content will be split but still linked, been selected? So we can have a forum conversation about it before you spend your time coding it.

The EVElopedia code was actually being developed and maintained by an outsourced company up until recently. This is the first time we have it now 100% in house and under both our product direction and code control. It's been a bit of a semi-orderly (and semi not) mess, it will be that way for another while, but I really, really, really want to tackle this whole thing and find better solutions for a pretty big portion of the content on there.

Future is not fully decided, but I have high level ideas and plans. So yep - thank you for reminding me people do care and would like to have input into the initial discussion! :)

Until recently I had no problems with the wiki page. Today I saw that I missed the edit button. I can't find it anywhere anymore and I feel lonely without it :(

Also the Special:Preferances page isnt loading for me anymore
Chrome Error 310: (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

So, this news post was pulled shortly after release but can still be seen on external sites.

Evelopedia still is the old one, w/o SSO. No News to the, removed, news after the news?

We were still not satisfied with the new version, so yes we unfortunately had to roll back a second time. It's in much better shape now and we're also doing additional, more intensive QA on it as well, to be sure. Third times a charm right? ;)

Yes, we're also working on the new bug reporting feature, and have just wrapped up the Alliance Tournament web pages as well. Normally this wouldn't cause this current delay for the wiki deployment, however it's summer vacation time here in Iceland so we have a few people that we need to handle all this currently on vacation.

Again, really sorry about the delays! I understand how frustrating the current wiki is at the moment. And don't worry, any edits you make on the current version will be carried over to the new one.

Thanks!

What about the changes that where made when the new version was up before the reset.
