I am having the same problem, but only with IE on an XP machine. Netscape on the same machine is ok And IE on a different machine running Win 2000 is ok.
Actual URL is http://www.jftp.co.uk/ecdlforum/ which can be accessed by http://www.corn-exchange.co.uk/
is this a windows issue?
Any cure? I would like to keep the browser displaying corn-exchange if possible.
[Edited to replace miss use of the word phisical]
Thanks
Jon |

Thats not a physical path, thats a URL a physical path would be something like c:\myfolder\mywebsite |

Thanks

Have had the same problem with some of my members. They (luckely) came up with that by ant reason their firewall installed on XP and usin IE redirected them right back to square one. The firewall they were using was ZoneAlarm. When they turned that off it worked just fine again :)
Appared specially when new visitors tryed to reigister, they just got redirected to the same page with the "agenotice and choise 13 obove" over and over again |

I thought that might be the problem, however I do not have zone alarm installed and have switched off the firewall that comes with XP, so I am at a loss. I was thinking maybe its to do with an IE security setting, but have put these all to minimum and still have the problem. I went through 48 pages on this forum yesterday and saw people with similar problems, but all the work arounds/mods/suggestions came up blank.

why did you not post this at Snitz?
The main reasons why this was not posted at Snitz and why I might not post the bugs I find
directly at Snitz anymore are the ways "ruirib and HuwR" take pleasure to criticize just about
anything I post and seem to resent the fact that I want to improve and correct Snitz which, I agree,
serve as the original base for my own Forum.
These are some of the actions I find unacceptable:
ruirib and HuwR take fun to Delete some of my topics, of my replies, locked or move my topic.
A topic posted last week from me to Davio in "Help: MOD Implementation" Forum as been deleted.
Two replies in my topic as been deleted about a bug on snitz topic page:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=5.96&TOPIC_ID=44136#372029
A Fix to texanman as been deleted (first reply to texanman subject):
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=66162
One of my Multi-Language Topic on Snitz has disappeared last night
Multi-Language and Multi-Language Skin3D
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40765
etc...
3 times I changed my password and the day after the same game start.
Since I send to HuwR a donation of $200 on December 22, 2006
this guy HuwR has never stop to pick on every thing I post on the Snitz Forum. |

Some of my users and I had the same problem (not being redirected to the start page, although we have been logged in successfully), after my provider moved the site to a Windows 2003 server.
And the problem occured only with the IE (under Windows XP?), no problem for Mozilla, Netscape and others.
I've come to know about a redirect problem (in ASP) since four or five years, so I knew one could find the answer in Microsofts support database.
Read about this phenomenon in this MS article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;193489
I solved it now for my forum according to that article, and that's what I did (minimal changes).
Please bear in mind, that this worked for my forum; I do not know about your installations, I cannot guarantuee this to work for your installation too.
Basically you have to work on two files, inc_func_common.asp and inc_header.asp . Remember to create copies of the files before you start editing!
Edit the file inc_func_common.asp:
Add this to the file, e.g. starting in line 42 (right after the line with "<%"):
'##############################################
'## Redirect bugfix ##
'## MS support article: KB193489 ##
'##############################################
Function XRedirect(sURL)
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear
Response.Status = "301 Moved"
Response.AddHeader "Location", sURL
Response.End
End Function
Now edit the second file, inc_header.asp:
Replace "Response.Redirect" by "XRedirect" (i.e. change from "Response.Redirect" to "XDirect")
(you find them in the lines 180 and 182 in the original - unmodified - file)
That's it. Now it worked also for the IE!
One more word. Filing through the answers here given by some people in some threads I am somehow astonished about these answers.
Advices like "users should disable firewalls" and whatever else just to be able to use a discussion forum cannot be the right answers. Do you really want to educate all the users of the world?
Anyway, I hope my code changes do the trick for you too.
Bye |
