I've set up a forum (7.01) for a mate to bung into a frameset (simple one - one for lhs nav and one main), but when the forum loads up in the main frame, I can't log in - is this a known issue or my problem? If the former, are there any workarounds? Forum at: www.middle-age-shred.com |

You can not load the forum in a frame.
Do a search and you will find out why, it has already been talked to death! ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

The forum will NOT work properly in an frame with IE. There is a cookie problem that IE has, you can not run the forum in a frame, iframe, domain masking url (like kickme.to/yoursite), without having to change permissions in IE (every user would have to do it, that right here would lose 98% of your traffic as people dont want to spend time fixing settings in IE to view a website when there are millions more). Do a search on the forum, it has been talked to death!!!!!!!!! ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Ahh - thanks - that'd be the problem then - the framset is on a completely different host and account and domain. Cheers. |

Blah, blah, blah, isn't this the same thing you said when I disagreed with you last time? Why don't you build a frameset and try it? I have and I know that it works with IE 6+ as long as the forum and the frames are within the same sub domain. What you are talking about is that by default IE does not allow third party cookies. If the forum and frame set are on the same sub domain than the cookie is not a third party cookie. Anyone who cares can check this URL http://69.26.135.138/work/test.asp - http://69.26.135.138/work/test.asp which I used to test the frames. The top frame is a WWF installation on that server. The bottom is a WWF installation on another server. You should be able to log onto the top but not the bottom from within the frame. ------------- L.
