I can log into forum but still can't log into certain forums

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have had problems logging in from the start. You know the home page (not forum's page) you get at first? Well, I try to log in from there and it says it's incorrect.

But when I go to the forums page and log in there, it works but every time I send a message in certain topics including "introductions", I get that pesky login screen from the home page again (not forum page) I couldn't log into in the first place.

It also happens when I try to access my profile. I've tried everything including changing my security settings, using different passwords, changing cookies but nothing works. I have a Netcape 7.0 browser.

The most likely problem is your browser blocking cookies, or not saving them correctly. You checked cookie settings already; maybe clearing all cookies would help? (That would take care of a possible corruption in the cookie file.)

(Pulling my hair out) I checked the cookie settings and it still didn't work. I even tried the retrieve-the-password method and it didn't send anything to my email. And when I first tried to register, that screen would not register me. So it's definately an issue with that log-in screen not working right for some reason.

Same thing is happening to me with IE. I just can't figure it out, I have to open firefox just to get logged in and all.

Did you originally log in through the forums? Maybe you need to log in originally through the front page. What happens when you try to login again??! !

Alex, is there any way Nirrti's problem could be the result of a firewall issue or an OS user permissions issue?

Wierd thing is I had similiar happen and doing what you suggested worked with IE and all but it's just puzzling what caused things to go that way as I never had to have WrongPlanet as a trusted site before.
