Houston...I have a problem!

**stepheno** · 29-03-2006, 14:32

During the last couple of days I have a problem connecting to ThePhotographyForums. I use Firefox 1.5 and if I click on the icon on the toolbar I get this message -

If I then click on the TPF icon again I am immediately connected to the forums. I have the same problem on my work and home 'puters - I have emptied the cache, TIFs etc, ran anti-virus, Hijackthis, CWShredder and Spybot and I am now well stuck. It's the same with IE6. However, this only happens if I have ticked the "Remember Me" box at login. If I am going in with a fresh login then it works first time. It is not the end of the world but it aint half niggling. Any thoughts greatly appreciated,

regards

ps it only happens with this site.

hmmmmmmm

**stepheno** · 29-03-2006, 15:17

Is that all you have to say

I had the same thing a few days ago. It seemed as though there was a re-direct on the homepage to /profile.php but it all sorted itself out so I assumed it was a cached page issue.

That is exactly what I get, got rather, 'cos it doesn't do it now. I reckon Matty's not telling all

Thanks mfwild for at least confirming it's not my end

Yeah i can't login using the login box on the main page, but if i go to post a reply it says to login and that works ok.

me tooooo!!

markgray · 29-03-2006, 17:42

mine has been fine IE at home and AOL at work. Have had similar problems on one of the car forums i am on.

Fangman · 29-03-2006, 18:07

Same problem with firefox on the Mac. Same bookmark for home page - even re-bookmarked it. Get the redirect and have to go back one page to arrive. Is it a way to keep me under control?

***Dave*** · 29-03-2006, 18:23

Same problem here with firefox...only happened after logging in on another m/c....then appeared again when back on old m/c

Mike Aiken · 29-03-2006, 19:05

Same here, using firefox too.

RickMezza · 29-03-2006, 19:11

Exactly the same for me too

. Always loads 2nd time. Using Firefox and Norton Int Security.

Matty is conspicuous by his absence. Must be keeping his head down

***Steve*** · 29-03-2006, 20:36

I have not posted as I really don't know what to say and with Matty jumping in first...

Anyway I have done some poking around and there is nothing at our end that indicates there is anything I can do to solve the problem, I have a hunch the issue is VB and cookie related but I can’t confirm that for now. I have spent a few hours this afternoon on the Vbulletin site looking for answers or even clues to what I can change to help. Unfortunately it has so far turned up a blank and changing things just to try could lead to more issues

I will continue to look though and in the mean time I can only apologise and ask you to stick with us.

Cheers
Steve

**stepheno** · 29-03-2006, 20:45

No apologies necessary Steve....but thanks for the update

regards

***Steve*** · 29-03-2006, 21:10

Can someone please clarify exactly what is /is not happening so I can try to narrow my search.

I am right is saying that if you go to http://www.thephotographyforums.com/forums/ when you are not logged in, then put your user name and password in the login box (top right) it then throws the error and tries to redirect you to /profile.php?

Also when it does this have you got “remember me” ticked so that the forums automatically fill in your name and password or not, and have you tried it both ways?

**stepheno** · 29-03-2006, 21:26

Mine seems to be sorted now. What happened was that I was directed to profile.php and got an Error 404 page. This only happened if I was logged in under Remember Me. A second click on my TPF icon would then take me to the home page. I hope the explanation is OK.

regards

This is the beauty of Opera - no need to tick the "remember me" box as the magix wand feature does it all for you! (Only problem is, if you're on a computer elsewhere using ie, you can't log in anywhere as you can't remember any of your passwords!)
