MachForm 13.1 Released. Maintenance Update.
We’re releasing a new maintenance update that addresses a major issue with Google Chrome and Safari browser when opening embedded forms coming from a different domain.
When a page having a form embedded from a different domain, Chrome and Safari will keep refreshing the page in an attempt to get a session cookie, which is now completely blocked by Chrome and Safari. In some cases, you’ll also receive “session expired” error message.
Version 13.1 fixed the whole issue and it is now available for downloads on Billing Area. We strongly recommend you upgrade if you have forms embedded in different domains.
