Test it, y’ all!
Post away on anything whatsoever, except politics or religion, no matter how tempted.
Whoa! Threadbender may have intervened and fixed it! I just got the screen the way it should appear.

Well, not totally fixed—I still had to do the CS-R thing to get this to display, but it’s an improvement!
Hmmm… Something’s still not quite right in the login/logout functionality. It appears as if the site is having problems processing “de facto logouts” — when a user leaves the site/closes a browser without formally logging out of the site. WordPress SHOULD change the user’s status to “logged out” after a period of inactivity, but that doesn’t seem to be happening and, worse, when the user comes back, their status appears to be locked. The cntl-R trick essentially forces a status change to “logged out” (or I think it does)which allows the user to log in. For the time being, I recommend that if you log in to Wave Without a Shore, you actively and deliberately log out before you leave the site and/or close your browser
Have you used the WordPress Answer Desk to see if there are any possible causes/solutions out there?

Thank you. I know how limited your free time is right now. I am so sorry we seem to have had a problem, but we can get by for now with those two fixes.
NOTE TO ALL: the logout button is right over top of the righthand sidebar. Please use it to help out.
Ctrl+Shift+R fix was needed after I logging out and logging back in to even see this page. If I load WW/oAS from a private browser window, it looks like “we’ve had some technical issues…” is the latest entry. If I go from page to page, eventually my login goes away until I Ctrl+Shift+R, and then I’m logged in again. Strange.
(Excuse the odd and passive construction: I’m trying to make sure “Ctrl+Shift+R fix” is visible in Recent Comments.)
I experienced the same issue where I couldn’t see the newest post.
I shall try it out.
Had difficulties logging in, though I’ve had the same password (saved) since inception. After a password change, and C+S+R, I can finally post.
It’s still doing it for me – and I do log out.
Same for me. I have to CSR to see changes on each page, the entry page and this one.
Yesterday, I logged out after my visit. Today, it appeared I was still logged in, but it refused to let me post; preview showed ‘anonymous’. I relogged in, and WP took me to profile edit immediately after, rather than back to the page. WP is still twitchy.
We may have discovered the ‘singer of the songs of love’ late at night, or it may be more than one of them. Sunday night I put out food for the 3 Stooges, and Gray, a rare visitor, very pale gray tabby with a raccoon tail, marched up and demanded his share of the kibble. I obliged, as he wasn’t a troublemaker like Spunky, the previous spare cat. Then I glimpsed another cat, long and lean and all black; if he was the Midnight Serenader, no wonder we didn’t see him, because he is a stealth cat. Either of them could be the singer, but whenever we go to look, ninja vanish!
Which version of WordPress are you using? I believe you’re using 4.7.1, and there is a new update 4.7.2 that was released last month. I don’t know if the issues are related, or if an update will fix them.
OooookAYYYY! I logged out, logged back in, did the CSR routine, and posted a reply, and then went to look at the Dashboard.
Your WordPress version is 4.7.1, I believe. There is a 4.7.2 update out.
I also went to Harmonies of the Net and the same problems exist there, as well.
Ah, Ctrl-Shift-R got me in. Seems to be required on each post, since I did it first on the post prior to this one, and then came to this page which did not work until I used the Ctrl-Shift-R key combo again.
I’ll have to change my wicked ways I guess; since I always have a browser tab open to WWaS I usually don’t bother to log out as I move down the tabs to read the other blogs I check. In future I will log out.
We just tried a fix. Hop on it and see if you can break it.
Not fixed enough to break. Same-o, same-o.
Took a Ctrl-Shft-R after I’d already logged in for it to recognize that and let me in. So, apparently, there’s a sticky cookie problem.
But at least it is now possible to post.
It tells me that I must log in to post and when I do, I can’t post. But, if I do the CSR, it automatically logs me in and allows me to post.
Got in after trying several times. Tried the CSR but don’t know if that is what worked
I’ve had to force reload every page here after login and also to see the latest posts.
It is strongly recommended to update to WP 4.7.2, as 4.7 and 4.7.1 have a known security vulnerability that is actively used to capture WP installations. It resides in the WordPress REST API http://v2.wp-api.org/. This API is active in 4.7 and 4.7.1 and cannot be deactivated in those versions unless you install the third-party extension https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-json-api/

It’s most likely a plugin that’s causing the problem. Have you added any new plugins lately? Updated any plugins before the problem started? Especially, do you have any plugin that deals with server-side caching?
Try disabling any plugins that look like they might be causing the problem, and then enabling them again one by one to see which it is.
Whoa, howdy! OK, as of 2100 Tuesday the recent problem is still there in all its glory. But I noticed a “Login” above the right sidebar instead of logout. What the hey! I clicked on it, my UID was filled in, but not my password, as it would have been if I’d clicked on the “you must login to reply”. Then it took me to my WP account admin panel! I did notice at the bottom if that it said v-4.7.2. Not sure exactly what state I’m in now.
When I move to a thread on another page I am logged out again. If I want to reply to a post and click the “login to reply” link it doesn’t log me in. I can only login from the main login link on the side column. Even then I have to click on the most recent announcement from CJ and I’m taken to profile update options…then I have to click on “visit site”. This takes me back to main page, I click on thread, and I am logged out again.
Thanks for Threadbender fot fixing it this far. I could log in and reply to Walt, but then two posts further on I couldn’t log in and reply to Teasel. While on the second thread I couldn’t see this page (nor the comments to it, in the sidebar), though it was visible when I first loaded the site. So I think a few of the posts CJ made while the problem was ongoing are still screwed up, but the rest of the site seems to work OK. I didn’t need to log in again to post this.
Teasel: Amsterdam is probably the most chaotic biking in the Netherlands; though very doable for the natives it’s the most confusing place to start for all the tourists who aren’t used to it – and of course they all start there.
In the rest of the country there aren’t the same hordes of inexperienced tourists cluttering the place up, as well as less scooters, so traffic tends to flow more smoothly; but all drivers are always aware that bikes are unpredictable and will take the shortest and easiest route to wherever they want to go (so street layout had better reflect that, or it won’t work).
We do get good at reading the body language of cyclists, being one ourselves at least till the end of high school – you don’t need a hand signal to know someone is going to turn (though people are supposed to use them, a lot don’t signal every turn), because their slight body incline already clearly sends that signal. Especially in seemingly-chaotic traffic flows like in Amsterdam keeping your hands on the handlebars instead of signalling with them happens a lot more, and you have to pay attention to the small nods and inclinations and the direction of someone’s gaze and such things which quickly become almost unconsciously ingrained in young cyclists when they gain experience; but which are bewildering to inexperienced tourists.
I guess it’s how I’d feel if I had to deal with walking on New York sidewalks as a tourist ?
Still, it’s nothing compared to the bike chaos in lots of mega-cities in the far east and south; I’ve seen video on youtube of traffic in Chinese, African and South American cities that could make my Dutch hair curl.
The other two European cities I visited on that trip were Paris and London, where I expected traffic chaos. I don’t know why I thought the Dutch would be more civilized, which they were, but it was still a matter of “look both ways, twice, and scuttle like a cockroach”. I am a museum nut and Amsterdam gladdened my heart (13 museums in 4 days if I remember correctly)
