Your forums and authentication are so bugged!

Thank you for sharing your experience while using the QuickBooks Online forum, Arka. I’m eager to ensure your feedback reaches our dedicated product development team, amplifying your voice and thoughts to contribute to meaningful improvements.

I want to inform you that every post and reply in our forum undergoes a thorough review process by our moderation team before it becomes visible. This procedure is essential for preventing spam and ensuring a safe, welcoming environment for all users. As a result, there may be a slight delay in the appearance of your responses in the forum.

Your insights about the inconsistency in session management and the delays in seeing replies are valuable. I encourage you to share it by using the Give Feedback option located in the bottom right corner of the Community forum.

It is the most effective way to communicate your thoughts directly to our product development team. They are eager to hear from users like you and genuinely welcome your suggestions, as they help identify systemic issues and improve our services.

I've included a screenshot for your reference:

Additionally, I've reviewed your post about recurring invoices and would like to share some resources to help you manage invoices in QBO. That includes setting automatic reminders for customers and personalizing your invoices:

• Send invoice reminders automatically or manually in QBO
• Customize invoices in QBO

We are committed to listening and responding to our users, and your feedback plays a pivotal role in that process. If you have further questions or additional insights about the forum or any QuickBooks functionalities, reply to this thread. We look forward to supporting you.

RE: I'm stuck in a constant loop of being told that I'm logged in but seeing messages that I'm not logged in, yet I have the ability to "Reply" or "Start Discussion" to then click post and get a dreaded Authentication failed error or sent to the login page only to find out I lost everything!

Yea, that's happened to me as well. I tend to copy my entire answer to the clipboard before submitting it, under the expectation that one or another thing will go wrong, which is a frequent occurrence.

I have a somewhat different experience, though. In my case I almost never appear to be logged in, but I can still read and post and like and so on. Super-strange.

One possible fix is to search for and delete all cookies that seem to have anything to do with QuickBooks or Intuit. Then restart your browser and try to log in again.

Correct - I knew cookies would be a likely culprit and didn't take long for me to take that approach but the fact I was still seeing the same behavior in incognito mode which has no cache or cookies was of concern.

I do not work for Intuit, but I can assure you that this is absolutely not the case.

If it were, the majority of my posts over the last year would never have seen the light of day, given that the staff here are also users.
