Hi, I've just set up the forum on my local machine and all went well. However after I log in as Administrator and click the Admin link, I am asked to log in again (admin.asp) and this process fails.

The error is...

"The Security Code entered did not match that displayed. A new Security Code has been generated."

It's obviously something to do with Captcha, but does anyone know why I can't log in to the admin area? I am typing the Captcha code as is, case sensitive etc. so I can't see what's giving me this error. Any help would be appreciated, it looks like a great application.

This can be caused by cookies not being set correctrly, if you are using http://locahost on your local machine try http://127.0.0.1 or vice versa.

Brilliant, that was it. I changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 and it works.

Thanks for the speedy reply, great support!
