    Howdy to The People Who Run This Thing

    An observation: while I'm happily operating from a desktop machine (using Chrome), my attempts to authenticate and use my account while surfing with Safari from an iPad are resulting in my being turned away at the border.

    Because I was probably drinking when I chose my user name, which has an apostrophe in it, I strongly suspect that the "you haven't entered a valid user id and/or password, strike one!" type error I'm getting is related to how that's being handled. Don't suppose you guys can look into that?

    Thanks,
    -Me

    If you can login normally from a desktop, its not a site issue.

    You need to point your question to the FBI, they cracked IOS 5-10.

    They can point you to the issues about handling your username. :beer:

    I don’t have an issue with this site and iOS. I can’t stand the tapatalk app.

    Ditto


    I've found that iOS sometimes assigns different code to characters that appear the same when hand written, but are in fact different in computer code; what you may think was entered as an apostrophe may have been entered as an accent or other type character. Example: there is different ASCII code for a minus sign and a dash, I think there is actually a third code when it is used as something else, duh.

    Basically Occam is suffering the fate of the Multitool; has nothing to do with MDS and everything with the low hanging fruit (Apple).

    Yep sounds like a username or input issue. Send me over a new username if you like via Pm and we can change that. No other complaints and the system seems fine after testing.

    On my iPad, I used to have problems staying logged in to MDS with Chrome as the browser. Made MDS my homepage in Safari and it worked fine. I'll retest Chrome tonight.

    Yup, it was the apostrophe. Now that my user ID got a haircut, it works fine on those iOS devices running Safari. Presto!
