Full profile doesn't work

I've had the same problem on one of my machines, but not another. They're running the same OS, have similar hardware, etc, so I think that it's got to be a cookie-like issue. I haven't been able to sort it out, yet, though (haven't really tried too hard). I did notice that I don't get the problem with IE, but I do get it with Safari (I mention this because I know you use Opera). Maybe Bill Gates has bought off Sangiro?

I'm not sure why this is happening. I need to look into it.

Not referring specifically to you, (I often receive log in complaints) but I always found it amusing how people have time to post hundreds of useless posts and one-liners and then complain because they have to type in there username and password one more time... :P

Sangiro,

Oh, we could go on at length about the psychology of people using tools. You might say the same about people who take long sunday drives in the country then don't take an hour once every few months to change their oil. People are strange.

But a couple of quick comments:

  • It's not so simple as re-entering my login info. That doesn't solve the problem. It just loops back.
  • People might not be "complaining" so much as attempting to do you the favor of notifying you of errors that they think you would want to fix. That's certainly been my motive. I haven't wanted to be seen as whining but instead as offering Q/A reports. That's why I've withheld 90% of them.

    Your site's got minor bugs, but they're of little consequence overall. It's fine the way it is. It's far better than "80% successful 80% of the time," which is what a philosophy professor once told me was his personal goal in teaching. Thanks for providing it.

    Ditto. I can't access the info from that machine, ever. It just keeps asking for the login over and over and over.

    I've had the same problem appear from time to time. I've tried clearing cookies / cache / etc. It's always on the same machine (Windows 2000 / IE 6) - I think it occurs most often when I have switched networks. If I'm logged in at work and go home (it's a laptop) I'll never have to log in again to get to the forums but sometimes will have to log in to view profiles. Not a big deal at all - just trying to help.

    Try using a different browser like this one


    I assume that Erno was using Opera when he had the problem. Isn't that your normal browser, Erno?
    I'd prefer to use Safari (which, admittedly, is still in beta) because it has some nifty integration features with my OS, and because if iSync gets a bookmark sync (between different computers) running, it will doubtless be the first browser supported (I use three different machines).

    I am now experiencing this problem on yet another machine. I still can't figure out what makes it come and go. I've experienced it on three different OS's (Mac OS X.2.3, Windows XP, Windows 2000) and three different browsers (IE for Mac, IE for Windows and Safari for Mac OS X).
    I'll keep trying to figure out if there is any pattern.

    are any of you at work behind a proxy?

    sometimes in add/remove programs winproxy might be set up.

    I also have found that if your usign IE clearing the objects sometimes helps. This can be done by the following:

    Tools> Internet Options> Settings> and then View Objects.

    Make SURE that you remove all the objects here.

    Hope this helps
