| Hello. I have set up several Snitz Forums, and this has never happened before. When I go to Admin Options, I put the username/password in and instead of it going to the Admin page, it goes back to username password. The second time entered, it will go. Also, I usually have to enter info twice on the Admin screens in order for it to "stick". |

| every single time? I would think that if it was happening every once in a while. Also, like I said, this happens on the admin pages as well. For instance: On the Main Config page, I had to change the image location 2 time before it took. And yes, I did hit submit both times. |

| I think that it may be something on my PC at home. I have been working on it from work and have had no problems. I'll try to figure it out. May be a firewall issue. I don't use the norton firewall, but I may try that fix. |

| I don't know what it is. I installed the referrer mod just to see. I still get the same thing happening. It has to be something on my home network, because I had no problem at work. I'll keep trying. |

| OK. This is starting to annoy me. I know that it is something on my network at home, and not the Snitz code. Has anyone else ever had this problem? |

| Me neither. I have set up about 15 Snitz forums, and this has never happened. I installed the referrer mod hoping that would help, but it didn't. Maybe it is my host. Anyone ever use datapacketnet.net? |

Bad session cookies.
I had this happen to me.
I am hosted on a Win2003 box and when they made some kind of server change they screwed up the session cookies and that caused all kinds ofproblems. COntact your server admin and make sure you tell them SNITZ needs session cookies.

Ok... Just FYI... I have had this problem. I've seen it posted in a few threads (about the webgardens or session cookie problems causing this) as well as problems with the forum not keeping proper track of new messages.
Basically, what I did was switch it so that instead of using session variables I use cookies (perhaps it is less secure, but my fourms aren't all that in need of security).
Since I use a heavily modified version of the forums, it probably won't be of much use for me to post files and line numbers, and since it requires you to know when a variable is being defined vs when it's being read you really shouldn't even consider it unless you know what you're doing (and if you do know what you're doing you don't really need help).
The one thing I will warn you about are the "isEmpty" functions where it would check to see if the session variable was defined. Instead of something like "if isEmpty session("whatever")" becoming "if isEmpty request.cookies("whatever")" you want to do a "if request.cookies("whatever") = "" " instead.
However, it's late at night. I just wanted to offer that for people to get an idea of a possible fix if moving to another server or getting the web host to do something about it is not an option.
If there really is a call for something like this, I can try to post more detailed information when I have some more time.
(Sorry if this is somewhat ragged... It's 5am, I just finished testing and wanted to say something before I got caught up in the next project and forgot all about it). :)
