This is the Star Trek Online Gateway bugs and technical issues thread! Please post any bugs, error messages, or compatibility issues here!
What is the Star Trek Online Gateway?
Star Trek Online Gateway is a web application which lets you look at your captains, ships, bridge officers, and other data from STO. Eventually, you will be able to interact with Star Trek Online through Gateway without logging in to the full 3D client.
The purpose of Gateway is to let players into Star Trek Online without needing to start up the full client.
Visit
http://gatewaytest.startrekonline.com to access the STO Gateway.
Please note that as this is a beta release, character information and data will be pulled from your Tribble account. To sign up for the Tribble Test Server and transfer a character to it, visit this page.

Star Trek Online Gateway is in early Beta, and we look forward to hearing what you think about it. Let us know what you're thinking by posting to
this forum thread.
If you have technical issues or experience any bugs such as problems using Gateway with your web browser or device, please let us know by commenting below in this forum thread. Please let us know what operating system and browser (including version numbers) you are using. If you are using a mobile device, let us know which one.
Also, take a glance at the Known Issues below for a list of things we already know about.
Browser Requirements- Gateway is tailored to work on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices supporting HTML5.
- Gateway has been verified to operate on recent versions of Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. It may work on earlier versions of these browsers. It does not work on Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.
- Gateway requires the use of cookies.
- Gateway requires the use of Javascript.
Login Issues
Cookie Usage- A cookie is used to keep track of your session while you using Gateway. This is a "session cookie" and is not kept after you leave the page.
- A second, persistent cookie is also used by Account Guard to determine if the particular browser install is authorized for use with your account. This cookie contains no account information.
Known Issues- Gateway does not work on Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.
- Character changes that occur in the client are not immediately updated on the web. You must log out and back in to see the changes.
- Pictures of bridge officers do not show the officer in their chosen stance.
- Pictures of ships do not show additions or changes that come from equipment (e.g. Borg equipment, etc.)
- Though Gateway uses the language preferred by your browser, there is some text that is not yet translated. Gateway supports the same languages Star Trek Online does: English, German, and French.
Comments
Granted it was for my toon on tribble, but hey, you got to start somewhere.
One thing, need a central location for the URL for Gateway. I picked it up from a posting and now got completely turned around and can't find it again.
I don't think we were meant to see it yet...whoops!
So, I saw this briefly, obviously it's pulled for now but looked fantastic. Seriously impressive for an Alpha. Worked beautifully in Safari on my Mac, but in Mobile Safari for my iOS Devices the login windows suffered the same issues as the forum login windows do, they keep dissapearing off the page so they can't have the one time code put in. Hope that makes sense?
When Tribble is down, Gateway is down.
Logical enough :-) hope the info on iOS browsers is taken on. Totally unable to use on an iPhone (though the 5 might...bigger screen and all)
Guess i was little too anxious to try.
But, for what its worth, it was really nice to look at... kudos!!!
The Account Guard link broke, too. Why is it in HTML when BBCode is easier? XD
"Too many attempts; please try again later."
Well, that's it for me I guess...
One of the hats I where at work is software tester... so I tried to log in while tribble is down to see that it errors properly. It says "Too many attempts; please try again later" rather than Tribble is down or server is in maintenance mode.
Edit: I for one will be testing it with an iPhone 3GS
******** I will be editting this post with a running feedback of my efforts to use the gateway with an iPhone 3GS ********
Okay I can access it now, but the front screen does not scroll on an iPhone 3GS (latest OS). It cuts off at "Unselect this if you are using a" and attempting to scroll causes a grey back ground to rise causing more text to cut off but goes away if you release.
One time code added hit the "GO" button on the iPhone and... nothing. Not able to scroll to see if there is a button i can click on the website. and while typing this "Gateway is Under Maintenance"
(if I'm being a pest please let me know, i really really want this to work)
Still no joy, same problem as above
The problem seems to be that i'm only scrolling the background and not the pop-up window. When I view it in landscape mode I can see a bit more but i cannot get past the "browser name" field.
I've started using alternative browsers, Opera Mini for the iPhone, its working better but i get disconnected
Progress with the build in browser of the iPhone 3GS i can enter my one time code but it results in a blank popup.
Cheers,

So... I guess I have to log in first? Is this like that thing where we couldn't access Zen offers even with a lifetime account because the new feature didn't count things that happened before it existed?
I got in once, then (when I logged out to change characters) I got the dame error.
You have to have characters on Tribble Check out the OP of this thread again for information on how to transfer a character from Holodeck to Tribble.
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
And now its the return of too many attempts on the laptop
I did notice that not all of my bridge officers on my main toon were listed though. The hologram and the android were missing.
On my first try.

Three years and still no Captain Klaa hair...
Would it be possible for the accolade page, when clicking a specific accolade, to show the date achieved?
-Rule of Acquisition #113: Always have sex with the boss.
-I am one of the many victims from the hijacked Caspian Division.
I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.
-The actions of Cryptic, on the other hand......
I can confirm the same problem on my 4S - it seems they can't have tested it on an iOS device yet, though I'm sure you're aware this is similar behaviour to forum login screens. It's...irritating on such a huge mobile browser. I have a theory for a work around but can't do anything until the errors are fixed
I'm going to start using alternative browsers, i have opera mini installed as well
