In the administration view, if I click on the title of a lesson (to go to the lesson elsewhere on lds.org) and then return to the view and edit, I get an eternal spinner.

To reproduce:
  1. Go to the Administration view
  2. Select the Year View for a class
  3. Click on a lesson link for a Class Manual lesson
  4. Hit the back button
  5. Click on the edit button for any lesson
  6. The spinner shows up and the page never loads
  7. If I reload the page it forces me to sign in to my LDS Account again
This is on Firefox 10.0.1 under Windows 7. Using Firebug it shows that when I click on the edit button it does a GET to https://www.lds.org/lesson/services/<my ... ssons/8235 which returns a 302 error. Immediately after that it shows a GET to https://www.lds.org/SSOSignIn/.

Thanks for the report. The problem is that the chapter links are http. As soon as you visit a non-secure link, it kills your browser single-sign-on session for some reason. We'll probably end up switching all our manual/chapter links to use https.

Same problem here with Chrome.

Yep, this should happen in any browser, since the problem is in how LDS.Org handles authenticated sessions. It will be fixed when I next update the beta environment.
