Login Cookie

Since I'm back home (Jan 1) I have to login every hour or so by hand. When I open the page only a few minutes after I logged in, I'm still logged in.

I can't find any mistake on my side... can you try to check your cookie file, and try to find out.. why it goes inactive or missing after some time ?
Does anyone else experiance similar problems lately ?

Yes I am still having some login problems with IE5.5, even if I try to login manually the name and password are ignored. I have switched to using Opera6 and everything appears to be working fine so I guess its my computer that is the problem.

I had a similar problem back when the domain name changed with Firefox. What I did was to delete the cookie registered under the old domain name. I haven't had a problem with login's since.

I can never seem to login. I am posting today becasue this morning I got my computer to login.

Sooo Happpy.

Hummm, thanks for the many responses.

A possibly theory is, because I patch the forums manually to the newest version, I may have made an error/mistake.

I'll try to install a new forum, apply the site changes, and copy the files to this location, to make sure users won't notice it, but all possible problems due to patching will be fixed.

It may take a week.. since my time is limited.

An other theory, (actually, a fact), you can NOT login when you're on the domain XPRIZENEWS.ORG.
Can someone verify if he tried to login and failed when using the spacefellowship.com url ?
I fear most people have the xprizenews.org in their favorites, and use that domain to login.

I've enabled a feature forcing them to the main spacefellowship.com location now, but I'm going to add more code, to forward them to the right page, on the spacefellowship.com domain.

Oke, the feature with auto forward to correct domain is active now.
Users won't notice, except that any *xprizenews.com/* url loads the spacefellowship.com domain version.

This should fix a lot, because xprizenews.org cookies DO NOT work with spacefellowship.com (main domain, and cookie domain), this is a IE and FireFox security feature that blocks it.

Klaus shared with me he had a problem again with login in...
