I'm permitting all sites to set cookies with no restriction in FF and
entering a good password (tested by entering bad password and receiving
expected error). I get the login confirmation page, then
redirected back to the main forum page only to find that I'm not logged
in. Any ideas? |

Clear all your cookies and try again. Ive found that 99% of the time when people are having problems logging in its because they need to clear their cookies. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

I tried to find this post shortly after making it, but I
couldn't. I was going to delete it, as I finally figured it
out. Oh, and I cleared my cookies, and even tried to use the link
to delete cookie set by WW. Here's what happened. When I installed FireFox, I imported all my IE favorites and cookies. I set exceptions for *.hazelip.com, www.hazelip.com, and out of desperation, even www.hazelip.com/forum. I set my browser to allow all cookies, and I was logged in without any problem. I then came here to post my issue, and found that I was already logged in. Odd, I thought, as I've never been here through FF. I posted my problem and then set my browser back to not allowing any cookies and discovered that I couldn't log in here. I set browser exceptions for this site in the same multiple URL formats, and discovered that I could not log in here. I manually removed the cookies for this site, set the exception to www.webwisguide.info and restarted FF just to make sure. I could then log in here. I repeated those same steps with my own site's cookies, and set the exception to just www.hazelip.com and found that I could log in just fine. Deleting all cookies would have been like using napalm to get rid of crab grass in my lawn... Thanks for your suggestion, but I got to the root cause and resolved the issue. |
