Below is a copy of a message I just sent to the webmaster of this site. I thought I should ask here as well, since you all seem to be so well informed. Have any of you had similar issues with the Login?
I am having log in problems with your message board. This problem has just cropped up recently, no previous trouble with the log in.
I can log in succesfully using the new password provided to me by the lost password auto e-mailer. At that time I see the message: Thank you for logging in, SkyBum.
If I then choose to go to User CP, I am forced to log in again: Thank you for logging in, SkyBum. Once at the CP, if I choose to run a search or any other option, I have to log in once again: Thank you for logging in, SkyBum. Now I am at the Search page. Each time I run a search I am presented with a login screen and once logged in again, Thank you for logging in, SkyBum., I get taken to a blank search form. At this point I have usually logged in “succesfully” 5 or 6 times. I have been unable to complete a search or stay logged in between pages since this problem started.
I wondered about a cookie problem, but even though I have cookies disabled in IE6, I have set it to allow cookies from StraightDope.com
I did re-install Windows XP around the time this problem started but I am certain that my cookie handling is set exactly the same as it was before.
My username is: SkyBum
My password is: XXXXXXXX(censored)
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
Mike
