login problem

NeverMind · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-04, 01:46 PM

sometimes I can stay logged in, other times I keep logging in and still not logged in!
when I was trying to post about this problem I had to login more than 5 times with each browser (Mozilla FireFox and IE 6) !

even when I un-tick the "remember me" check box to depend on session only, it fails

now this is very annoying !!

Simple questions:
Have you tried deleting your cookies?
Tried a different browser?

I ran into the same problem. It seems to be related to useing the home button on the toolbar, at least for me. I think that doesn't keep the state. It screwed everything up because I was logged in then I wasn't blah blah blah. I just deleted all my cookies and don't use that button anymore.

I've had the same problem, both in IE, Firefox and Mozilla. Have tried with and without the "remember me" option. Seems I can only log in every couple of days. I noticed it started when the forums layout was changed...maybe connected?

yeah, it started to happen after the change of the layout..

One other thing I forgot to mention, which was really strange. I would log in, get the Thank You page, then go back to the main page, and still be shown log in box, but at the same time, if I scrolled down to the very bottom of the main page, it listed my name as being a member online. It's like one function didnt recognize the log in, and another one did.

From my limited experience with Vbulletin but I think something might be setup wrong of goofy. If you have programmed with vbulletin you will know that it uses a sessionhash and passes it though all the urls as ?s=<32 digit hash> Well this doesn't appear to be happening all the time.

I get this from time to time
http://www.programmingtalk.com/index...sessionhash%5D

Which the html enties translate to %5B = (, %5D = )

so it would seem to me it is trying to pass the sessionhash but something is configured wrong and it passes the entire array.

These hashes are stored in the database and I believed attempted to be stored in a cookie also but not for certain.

Just my 2 cents
