I have just fixed the login problem for the forum, though there is still an issue with the rest of the site that I'm fixing now. If anyone has any problems logging into the forum, let me know.

OK, I have now fixed the login problem for the entire site, including the forum.

I've never experienced any logging in problems

If you already had a cookie set on your comp, then there may not have been any problems. However, the main (but not only) problem was the addition of code a few weeks ago that unintentionally disabled the creation of new cookies, which need to be created (or at any rate, present) when a user attempts to log in. Hence the log in problems. Hopefully there won't be any more log in problems, though that may be wishful thinking. But I'll try to make sure they don't crop up again.

I have also fixed the viewing of user profiles. It's not an ideal fix (basically had to recode the user profile page from scratch), but it's functional and will provide a short-term solution.

Yay! Everything's working again!

Fraid I still can't log in [rhymer].
I've deleted my brainmeta cooky and it makes no difference.
I was using a proxy.

Without the proxy I can log in [yurrah!!!!!!], and then remain logged in after swopping to a proxy.
But I can't log out when using a proxy, only when using my static address!

Now I can log out (and in).

I can now log in, but can't log out!
Proxy does not seem to be a problem!

Having just logged out I now cannot log in !!!

To expand a bit, I can't log in proxified but can unproxified (hence this edit).
To expand a bit more, once logged in unproxified, I remain so when becoming proxifried!
rhymer

sure sounds like you're proxifried rhymer

thanks for the feedback, Bill. Can you check your cookies? Are you getting a brainmeta cookie? I think you must have one if you can log-in sometimes. I'm not sure why you're having problems when going through a proxy though.

Hi Shawn,
Yes I've just checked my cookie.
It has 4 elements, starting with my user id number.

I have previously deleted brainmeta cooky as you requested to see if that was causing inability to log in, but it seemed to make no difference.

UNKNOWN:-
Yes proxified is the word for me!
I noticed the typo and quite liked it, so left it for amusement LOL !!!!!

When they were in they were in,
and when they were out they were out!
But when they were only half way in,
they were neither in nor out! BUM BUM

I still can't log out when proxified, but have noticed something else.
When I try to log out, the base page reloads, my username still appears and I am logged in, but the clock has reverted to USA time. Repeated attempts to logout each cause the 'time' to increase by 5 minutes!

Just deleted my cookie (still proxied) and logout works !!
Previous deletions I mentioned were before trying to login rather than logout.

Maybe this helps a bit? - rhymer

location seems to have been omitted as well from member thread profiles.

Hmmm...Psiloman here...

I Tried to log in but wouldnt let me so i used the option for lost password but its been some time and havent received an email...

If you could trigger it for me so an email arrives i would be thankful

All my log-in problems are now resolved - many thanks Shawn.
