Hi,
I have a PeeCee and Amiga on broadband and I noticed something.
I cannot login here on my PC! But on my Amiga it works.
Is this on purpose? ;)

HAHA No silly :lol: I log in on a PC often.
Suggestions:
1) Make sure cap locks is off
2) Make sure cookies is enabled
3) Make sure computer is on
4) Make sure you are in front of computer
cough...cough.. :-D
3 and 4 are a joke ;-)
-
Well I checked and IE 6 looks fine. I believe Cookies
are enabled. Where do I check for sure? This is weird.
I even tried WinUAE on it and I cannot login!!!
-
I've had that problem too
Sometimes it just says that my login is incorrect, when I have my user name and password saved
Have you tried deleting your cookies and trying again?
Hmm. cooooookie!

heh heh, cookie monster rules...
Why are viruses so evil nowadays, it used to be like the cookie virus. The cookie monster shows up on the screen and says GIMME A COOKIE, if you type in cookie, he goes away permanantly, if you don't, then it formats your harddrive :-D
-
Despite some people thinking it's something to do with cookies or some such, it isn't, it's actually your firewall blocking some images etc from amiga.org, go into the settings and make a rule that lets everything from amiga.org through, then you cn log in.
Wish some people would take their heads out their rear ends and actually listen after you tell them it's nothing to do with cookies for the third time...

It's all very well you being insulting, but when were the first and second times that you told people it was nothing to do with cookies and people didn't listen?
Seeing as you've only made three posts, have all three been on the subject of cookies?
edit: besides, I merely suggested it as a solution. I didn't say it was defintely going to help...
edit: removed some less than civilised words. Sorry Kees.

gentlemen ... lets keep it clean shall we ...
Firewalls do sometimes block log in data ... try loggin in with your firewall turned off ..
-
Yup, I have Norton firewall that doesn't want to be configured for logging in here, so its always a quick firewall off/ log in/ firewall on job. Maybe I should stick to doughnuts ? ;-)
-
Try a different web browser? I know you said you tried WinUAE on it, but that does include the full facts :-)
Also, try going the 'forgotten password' route, it might un-screw something.
-
pc should be blocked ofcourse, they should get it viewed in a lynx style :)
get on with the miggys! :D
cheers
-
Heh, Nothing wrong with Lynx.. ;) Actually works great with Amiga.org. Use it sometimes to check the news/forums from a Linux workstation. :-D
-
I have some problem with autologin in Firebird, at least under Linux... Although I have cookies turned on and there are cookies saved from amiga.org
-
1. If using Norton Firewall, check Privacy Control and make sure that the Confidential setting is set to Medium and not high and Cookies are NOT blocked.
2. In IE, in Internet options, Privacy make sure settings is set to a Medium setting.
-
I have the same problem carls - I use Firebird, with cookies enabled, firewall off, and sometimes it still doesn't let me log on...weird
-
I have the same problem carls - I use Firebird,
What version of Firebird? Moz 1.5 is fine with autologin (I assume you mean by that that it fills out your user/pass details, and you hit login?) here.

Was actually in private emails to various people (wayne included), and the reason I've only got a couple of posts to my name (though I've had various ppl post stuff for me) is because it took me so long to work out what was wrong.
I just find it annoying that everyone seems to get up on their high horse and say "it must be your browser", when many ppl (myself included) are using mozilla, which is about the most standards compliant browser out there...
Then there are the people who think it's down to cookies, even after you've said that everything else works ok (yahoo, ann, webmasterworld, etc) - and if you believe them then it's got to be a bug in the server code, doesn't it??? (obviously it's not, but you get my point)
In the end I tried re-registering, and eventually worked out that it worked with Norton off, the only things Norton was blocking appeared to be images, so I put in a rule to let everything from amiga.org through (argh!!! now I'm going to get spammed ;-P)
I probably should have said something about covering ppl's ears rather than the other end, but since it took me over 6 months to actually get on here properly (since my miggy died) I was quite rightly annoyed that so many comments on here were about cookies again...

Fair enough, but none of the posters on this thread were 'getting up on our high horses' and saying "it must be your browser". I feel a little aggreived when offering advice, even if it turns out to be wrong, if I get attacked for my trouble...
I understand that you might be annoyed but I think some of your comments were a little unwarranted.

Yes but I was not one of the people to whom you'd said "everything else works ok " previously, am I?
I was quite rightly annoyed that so many comments on here were about cookies again...
Maybe you were annoyed, maybe quite rightly, but were you 'quite rightly' rude? Things irk me too, but I don't find some random person to take it out on...
It would be like having your house robbed and going and beating up someone random in the street, shouting at them that they'd stolen the last thing ever given to you by your mother, while they stood there incredulous...

I think I get an e-mail with a question about loggin in Amiga.org almost every day.
99% of them are salved with turning off the firewall ...

@mikeymike
I mean, in Win2K IE6 keeps my session until next time I visit amiga.org so I don't have to log on at all, but with Moz Firebird I have to press "Login" every time I come to the site.
Not a major problem, but still annoying sometimes since I'm used to being logged in when I come to the site and want to start posting :-)

No problems with Firebird 0.7 here
-
@kees
maybe you should provide a link or a suggestion of turning of your firewall when there is an incorrect/unsuccessful login?

I tend to ignore the login window and open a thread straight away from the front page, then you'll find that the cookie saying you're still logged in kicks in. Provided you visit this site often enough :-)

OK it was my Firewall! I now have to try to add the site to make it work while on...
