login trouble

[Nemesis]

I signed up on your board and logged in and it worked, even changed my password and logout and logged back in and it still worked. Did you upgrade to the new subs.php like I mentioned?

After you installed new subs, did you delete all the cookies from your harddrive pertaning to your site?

I just recently upgraded my YG1 board to the SE and a few members complained  about this problem also.  I tired all the suggestions here and none of them worked for them.  I was finally able to reproduce the problem on a second machine I had.

The second machine was running IE  5.00.3315.1000.  I upgraded it to 5.5 and it worked.  I'm trying to get one of the members that is also having the problem to upgrade their browser to 5.5 too, but they have to jump through a few hoops with their IT people at work inorder to upgrade their software. I will post if it works for them too.

Maybe your guy's security settings are to high?

Try this for members who still don't work. Tell them to:

Go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Privacy >> Advance >> [Check] Override automatic cookie handling then [Check] Always allow session cookies.

Changing the cookie handling did not help them.  But upgrading their browser to 5.5 from 5.0 did fix another person.

Hi there,

I'm having also some login probs.

I stay logged in and I can post and read and even go to the admin pages, but when I want to try and change the forum template, I get logged out again after clicking the "save" button.
I tried most of the fixes in here, but still I get this prob.

Try this:

When you go to your forum dont go to

http://domain.com/communtiy/

use the url:

http://domain.com/comuntiy/index.php instead.

This will kill you then - If I log in then close my browser and go back to my board, it thinks I'm a guest and tells me to log in. If I click on "log in", before I enter my user name or password the board logs me in automatically so i can click on admin from the log in page.

On this support board, if i close my browser and come back it thinks I'm a guest but I have to log in again.

I've tried accepting all cookies including third party and allowing session cookies but it doesn't make a difference. I am using Internet Explorer 6. I've tried Opera and the same thing happens there so surely it must be something to do with the code or configuration of the board?? I'm using the 1.3 version by the way and the board is at
http://www.canaryforum.com/yabbse/index.php

Are there any final comments for this error and how to fix it because my users seem to suffer from it also. I have changed the cookie names to different ones etc.

I have encountered similar problems on my forum. And actualy I'm still encountering them. I heard that some browsers don't accept cookies with domainnames that don't have more than 3 dots in the name. Would that be the Problem? (Actually I tried to login using w3m [the best webbrowser on earth] and it rejects my logincookie saying that it has too less dots. the funny thing is that the sessioncookie from the same board saves fine on my w3m)

What do you think about that?

Greetings,
David
