Can't login cookie problem

baxter wrote: Well, my suggestion would be some kind of howto on cookies packaged with the forums, since they give so many people this much trouble.  Or at least put a decent blurb about them in the faq or troubleshooting docs.  As for me it no longer matters.  I've decided against fighting with it.  Moving on to a comercial BB software that my hosting company uses.  Have fun fighting with your cookies and constantly repeating the same advice over and over again -boRg-.

You know, the forum on this site is everybit of "commercial" so I'm not real sure where your coming from. Add the link removal code and you have a commercial product.

As for the rest of your wine (I have cheese if you like) there are hundreds of websites, and god forbid you drive to Borders, buy online with Amazon or whom/whateva, that can help you learn "cookies" and .asp; just like the rest of us have and will continue to. You can't expect -borg- and the others to continue to hand out free support all the time to people that just won't read.

Myself, I've done the same thing, was stupid, put the forum up and didn't change the path of the database. First thing I did was ask on the forum, however if I would of just read the dang instructions like your told to, I wouldn't of been hacked. It did however teach me a big lesson, and now I have to say that I take access database files very seriously.

Right now, I'm having a issue with cookies on the news site module, however while reading, I've figured out that I have a session or global.asa issue. I'll read more from this site and do the trial error thing.

If you can't take the time to "learn" then you should just have a professional do it so you don't make the rest of us look bad. I can't say that I'm a professional web designer, but I am a MCSE, and this comes with the territory.

Ok, just my two cents.  -boRg- You guys rock!!  Take a bow!

 

IE, partcully on XP does suffer with a cookie corruption problem, that maybe one day Microsoft might address.

In the meantime the only solution is to delete all Internet files followed by cookie cache to reset the cookie index.

Or the better solution switch to a faster better browser like Mozilla Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, since using it to test the forum with I found it so much better that it is now my default browser and suffers allot less from many of the problems IE does.

It also has more features and the JavaScript debugging tool is a must for anyone developing their own site.

I have been using XP Home, Pro and 98se with Internet explorer 6.0 , Netscape 7.1, Opera 7.21 and Mozilla 1.6 all without fault and using cookies. All has worked fine with Web Wiz Forums on loads of sites up to version 8.0 for some time now, so the forums have been tested by meanly users each day here and other sites. I am not saying that you are not having a problem, just that you must be in a minority and should understand that. All the advice that has been posted here is to help you and getting upset never gets things fixed. To fix this kind of thing you have to look into what is different or get round the problem in the best way you can like BoRg has explained.

BoRg: You can please some of the people some of the time but you will never please them all.

IE does suffer a cookie bug problem, when I was using IE I found that around once a month cookies would become corrupted not allowing me to login into this forum on this site and problems with cookies on other sites.

The only solution I found was to delete the Internet files followed by cookies to reset the cookie ceach index.

Since moving to Mozilla Firefox around 9 months ago I haven't suffered from the same problem again.
