Post Login Issues 
 
Hello, hope you can shed some light on my user login issues

my site www.hdoz.org.au is having some login issues, running v1.3.0.53b

95% of the time no problems, but on occassion when members go to login everything seems fine, user name...password....login...screen changes and user appears in the "who's on line" but the user is still logged out and cannot see members threads.

this can keep users logged out for days, but the one strange fix we've noticed however is that if you use the link provided when you get an email to say you have a new PM that this link will allow you straight in????  sometimes also changing browsers will fix it?

I have tried the usual, clean out cookies, clean out history, link on home page to clean out cookies, clear out cache files in cavious location in the ACP????

Any ideas on what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated as I's getting members frustrated

Hi zag,

I'ld start by taking a close look at your cookie settings in ACP >> main settings >> server

Hi Joshua,
settings as follows, bearing in mind 95% time no problems

cookie domain - blank
cookie name - ip_cookie
cookie path - /
cookie secure - disabled
session lenght - 3600

thanks for your reply

Try filling the domain field, don't use http:// or www.

Secondly try adding something to ip_cookie, make it an original one of a kind, so if a user also visits another Icy board their computer knows the difference cookie-wise.

I would also start looking for coding errors, you seem to have them (I'm not saying this has anything to do with the login problem though)

Any error related to marquee is normal because marquee is no longer valid for W3C, the rest are your personal errors I guess

thanks for the tips, but I'm a noob to some of this...

added the domain... but dont quite understand the reference to add something to the ip_cookie do you mean a subdirectory or just change the name... sorry if this is a dumb question?

Just change the name a bit, for example hdoz_ip_cookie or hdoz_cookie ...as long as it's original

Only to be sure, you can also check cache folder.
Be sure permision is set to 777 cmod to cache folder (and subfolders)

When you say passwords, you mean every single user with problems, login password?

I am having this problem since the day I tried to change the cokies data on ACP, even me, as admin could not log in. I changed the settings of cookies like originals, and it worked for some users, but some of them keep having these problems. The only solution I founded was tell users to use private navigation. Even the same user on the same computer can Login with mozilla and cannot login with Internet Explorer.

The conclusion is that there is a problem with the management of the cookies. almost on 1.3 version of icy phoenix.

Even with this, they can't.
Cleaning cookies from navigator is not enought. using private navigation it's the only way.
