I couldn't access any MyAnimeList page and it gave me an error saying I have no permission to access the page. (both for mainsite, clubpage and my own profile). This was fixed after removing the cookies.

Hello,
I have a problem. Normally, I use Mozilla Firefox, but since yesterday's maintenance the page shows me that I have denied access from Mozilla (now I'm writing through Explorer) and the page is labeled as '403 forbidden'. Does anybody know what to do in this case?

So far, Cyberfox (Firefox-based Browser) doesn't do anything weird on MAL. I hope it stays that Way.

EDIT: Still occasionally getting the cookies induced logout.

I need to remove the "always stay logged in" or else it will not let me in, it'll just refresh the login page when I click "log in". And then it lets me in for a while and kicks me out randomly

Fixed in a few hours? That means it won't even take a day? That will be great.


Btw, did the new owners made a MyAnimeList LLC company after buying Mal? It also gives no claims to that company being owned by some other company. So did they let Mal be an interdependent company or they just don't want to say any more about themselves?

I got the too many failed logins once MAL was back. I wasn't able to log in for an hour or so. Then I tried to log in it went well.

And it seems like I can't stay logged in as much as I used to

It's allowing me to login but every time I try to update my list codes it gives me the 403 error. No matter how many times I clear my cookies I've always had the "sorry we could keep you logged in" message. I hope that'll be fixed too.

Jeez, well that logging out problem wasn't that bad, actually. I tought it was because I was erasing cookies. But this error 403 is getting on my nerves. I'm trying for 6 hours now to post an application on an RP club...

Nothing so far... They just moved servers, they didn't implement anything, and they still deal with the problems that arose from the move, e.g. list export, reviews posting, login issues etc. And even then there is still img bbcode issue that needs to be taken care of first

After 5 minutes, it logs me out.

I don't see any good thing about MAL being moved to new servers.

It seems like the problems got worse.

Add me to the pile of people that can't log in, I am only able to do so now because of the "forgot password" function and logging in through that. Twice this happened to me now even when I use the correct password!
