Original Post — Direct link

If I log into the site then decide to go into account settings, I have to login once again.

Why we do we have to login twice?

In its current mishmash state, /r/veryinfuriating would be more appropriate.

Thankfully, as we work on the website myself & Mod Allstar as well as the other members of the web team are moving everything over to HTTPS by default. Its not great that we aren't there already, but a few places such as the forums, news and a few other sections of the site are lagging behind a little.

Its a frustration we all want rid of as we all use the website ourselves on a daily basis.

Slowly we're getting there :)

How do u get it to load on Internet Explorer? On IE11 I only get this:

Please upgrade your browser Unfortunately your browser does not support this feature. Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox or Google Chrome.

In case any JMod cares: the rendering has been messed up with missing textures etc since Dec 2016 after the NXT update that brought anisotropic filtering and uncompressed textures (same update also caused glitched forum avatars).

it will never work on IE11 due to a lack of support for various web standards and the complicated initialising process of the renderer. Same for Opera, Safari and Edge. The browser must support webworkers with websockets, webgl and localstorage :)

As for the rendering issue you are correct. However that requires engine time of which they are a tad busy with Mobile now :)

That's not quite true. If you log into the website home page, you can access account settings without having to log back in. If you log into the forums though, you'll be logged into the main website alongside but not be able to access account settings without another login attempt.

This is because you are umping from http to https - something which we are also changing gradually. This week the hiscores module now joined the https list. :)

Heey Allstar, been a while.

I dealt with HTTPS in the lazy way - set up an Apache2 reverse proxy for my services with SSL via Letsencrypt. I imagine RuneScape's website with load balancing and such is quiiite a bit more complex. :p

So I can’t really go into our infrastructure in that much detail but we have a better solution in the pipeline - watch this space!
