Some problems with the forum?

Postby Dokujisan » Fri Dec 01, 2006 11:20 pm

This past week, I noticed a change in the forum's behavior. I now have to login twice before it will let me in. The "view posts since last visit" option doesn't display any results, even though there are new posts since my last visit. I'm experiencing this on three different computers (WinXP at work, WinXP at home and my Linux laptop).

Anyone else having these issues? Am I just imagining things?

I havent nboticed any sutch things, this ofc dosent mean they are not there. What browers(s) are you using, and does it help clearing the browser cash/cookies?

As far as i know there has been no changes to the forum settings or software lately, but perhaps there was.

I'm getting something like that. When I clicked 'Reply' to this thread, it brought me to the main page and displayed the unread posts, which weren't lit up before.

I think the problems are the cookies and the urls..
if you use http://forums.alientrap.local to access the forum it creates a cookie with your login information and forwards you to http://WWW.forums.alientrap.local were the cookie is not valid.. Quite a few forum do it this way..

Please keep in mind that the forum was set up like that since before I was hosting it, and that the old settings were carried over...

Being that said, I have changed it to not impilent the www. into the address

so when you sign in from either www.forums.alientrap.local or forums.alientrap.local should now set the cookie to alientrap.org

Whatever you changed, Willis, NOW I have to login everytime again :evil:

It doesn't matter if I go to alientrap.org or www.alientrap.org (at least it doesn't work anymore if I go to www.alientrap.org first and then to alientrap.org). I hope it works if I bookmark it to go to http://alientrap.org directly ... if not, you broke something.

My browser does accept cookies, of course, otherwise it wouldn't have worked previously.
