HI, I've just set up the latest version of the forums on my site http://www.talk2.me.uk, everything worked fine and I got it all configured. When I came back to it I couldn't log in as the administrator, the log in page asked for my username and password, told me the login was successful and then took me straight back to the log in page again, it won't let me do anything.
anyone got any ideas? |

| Well that's a cookie problem with IE. You can try changing your cookies from Forum to Web Site or vice-versa, deleteing the cookies again, close browsers and try again. If it does not work, maybe you can go to Tools->Internet Options, select Privacy Tab, click Advanced and uncheck automatic cookie handling. |

Hi!
I do have the same problem. I have two installations of the forum, one in a Linux-environment (ver 3.3.05 using Access database, host: www.vanadisgummi.se) and one in a Windows NT 4 server-environment (ver 3.4.02, using SQL Server 7, host: In an intranet).
The one running on Linux works fine, but the one on NT 4 does not (from the same client and browser). I have tried the settings (and have also deleted my cookies) in the browser you mentioned, but the problem remains. I am using Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.2600.0000 (with all patches available) running in an XP machine.
Are there any other settings that can be connected to this problem?
Regards
/Lars |

I could but it won't let me into the admin section to change that and besides, it worked fine before I upgraded to the current version, I have another Snitz forum on another site and there are no problems with that one, both are on Win2000 servers.
Also this forum works fine with my cookies. |

| Look this is a problem with the way IE handles cookies. What I recommended is the solution to fix it. Yes, it is rather strange that it happens all of a sudden. If you think you can fix it some other way, maybe try that. Did you change the privacy settings as I suggested? |

But IE works fine with the cookies for other Snitz forums, including this one.
Also the forum does recognise the log-in the problem occurs once the log-in page refreshes and brings me straight back to the log-in form.
My privacy settings are already as you suggested. |

Just seen topic "Won't remember login info in frames"
I think I have the same problem as my forum is in a frame, whatever your view of frames if can't be avoided at the moment and the forum needs to be in one, can you let me know when this bug is fixed?

This is not a bug. Snitz was not conceived to be used with frames. The fact that the cookies are difficult to handle in frames is a consequence of your choice and probably IE's cookie handling features and you need to find a way to fix that. Some other people have managed to fix it.
Personally I don't know how to fix it. I know Crash has fixed it, since it's forum works in frames. Maybe visit http://www.crashsite.nl and ask for his help.
But I'll say it again: this is not a Snitz bug, since Snitz works perfectly well if you use it the way it has been conceived to be used and the cookie problems happen mainly (if not only) with IE. Maybe MS is to be blamed for that, but certainly not Snitz. |

| I encountered the same problem as KEV_YFC after I upgraded from V3.3 to V3.4 (using Access on IIS-5). Deleting the cookies and overriding automatic cookie handling didn't resolve the problem for me either. I think the condition might be related to the fact that password in V3.4 are encrypted but weren't in earlier versions (at least to my knowledge). I compared the admin record from a fresh install of V3.4 to the admin record after the upgrade and noticed the password in V3.4 was encrypted while the password for admin in the upgraded database was still unencrypted. (To workaround the problem, I cut the Admin record from a "fresh" database and pasted it over the Admin record in the upgraded database, and was able to login without a problem. I manually reset all other member passwords.) KEV_YFC, did you do a manual data conversion (like me)? I wonder if the upgrade wizard encrypts the password field during conversion. (I suspect it probably does and I would have saved myself a lot of time by reading the upgrade documentation first! But who does that?) |

Just a little bit of info that might help 
When I upgraded my site's forum I too had similar problems, despite clearing Temp Internet files, etc using IE5.5 even closing the browser and clearing everything didn't help.
The solution I found was to go into C:\ Windows\Temporary Internet files where I found that the previous cookie still existed. Apparently this is one of Microsofts little quirks with IE. Deleting Temporary Internet Files, etc, from the Properties option of IE itself may not clean all the files out.
Once I did the above, I re-opened the browser and had no problem logging in.
