For some reason, I can no longer log-in to this forum with my old name zkoeske. The username and password are correct and when I enter them, it says, "Thank you for logging in" but then I won't actually be logged in. I'm fine using another name I just found it to be quite strange. Maybe someone could help me out?
I think it was a temporaray problem and is now fixed becasase I couldn't log in earlier.
let me see what is going on with your account. I will check back.Quote:

happened to me because the tick off box "remember me " was unticked - as soon as I re ticked it worked fine!Quote:

I've tried probably 50 times with both names now for the last few days. I'm sure that as soon as I log out with this name I just created I will no longer be able to log back in so I'm going to try to describe what is happening in as much detail as possible and hopefully somebody will be able to help because I'm running out of email addresses to use for new log ins.
When I access the forums I first go to baseballmogul.com. Then, I click the link for the Forums. From there, I can read all of the threads that I please, however I cannot log in. In the top right corner of the screen I see a log in for username and password with a checkable box that says Remember Me?
When I enter my username and password, I get a new screen that is titled "Redirecting" and it says "Thank you for logging in, zkoeske" after a couple seconds it takes me back to the same forum screen with the log in at the top right corner. However, instead of it saying "Welcome, zkoeske" there are just the blank boxes for username and password still there. If I attempt to post on the board, it says that I am not logged in and must do so. When I try to log in again. The same thing happens. It always tells me I am logged in, but then it reverts me right back to the initial screen which says I need to log in again.
I have tried checking the Remember Me box and leaving it unchecked. Neither thing works. If I click on the "my account" label to the left of the log in it will take me to my account and it recognizes me as being signed in. Also, if I look at the bottom of the forum boards where it shows the current people who are signed in and viewing, my name is listed. So every indication is that I am being recognized as being logged in, except when it comes to actually typing in the forum. I really hope someone will be able to figure this out for me because I enjoy being able to contribute to the BM community.
click on remember me. You might have a cookie problem.
try this good program.
www.firefox.com
I have been clicking on remember me and it hasn't worked. I also currently use firefox.
try IE7, does that do the trick?
I am trying to download IE7 but it doesn't seem to be actually doing anything. I tried using Netscape, which I do have already and it didn't work for me
In Firefox, press Ctrl-Shift-A. That should bring up the Add-On's screen (if not, there is a menu item for Add-On's in the Tools menu).
What add-on's are you currently using?
In my add-ons all I have is Talkback
OK, open Tools -> Options, click on the Privacy tab, and then look at the Cookies section. Do you have "Keep Until" set to "They expire", "I Close Firefox", or "Ask me every time"?
It's set on They Expire
Reading a little bit on the MozillaZine.org forums, the recommendation is to follow the procedure located here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_d...Profile_issues
Hey Ohms, creating a new Mozilla profile seems to have done it. I was just able to log in with my original name. Thank you for all of your help.
No problem. FF has been kind of messed up with these last few updates. Kind of pisses me off.
I have officially switched back to IE, that is IE7, IE6 wasn't cutting it for BMO. While IE7 I have no problems with.
Anyone else having trouble with having to log in again every time you visit the board? I can get in ok, it's just a pain to have to do that every time and it wasn't like that before. I just started having issues with it in the past couple of days. Happening both on my work PC and at home. Using Firefox 2.0.7.
Edit: I check "Remember Me" whenever I log in but then when I come back later it is unchecked again. WTF? I haven't changed any cookie settings recently either.
Yea, it's the updates for Firefox that are causing problems. You need to remake your profile according to the procedure in the link which I posted above. Unfortunately, doing so nukes your history, settings, and your cookies; forewarned is forearmed. I'm just dealing with having to login every time.
Well at least it isn't something I did, but it'll suck to have to do that every time.Quote:

I was having some really long transitions using Opera over the last two days. I'd click on a forum and then swap over to explorer and read the news while the pages loaded. Fixed now, though I did nothing.
My login is working fine again now, not because of anything I did, it just started working on its own again for some reason. No idea what that was all about.
Mozilla Firefox problems agains using version 2.00.11 can't log in or have name displayed. firefox won't save password or login with regular password. I have changed it twice by emailing and it still doesn't work. for know I would tell anyone using firefox to use IE & to use sports mogul board.
hmm...Fire Fox Beta 3 is out now, any luck?
IE7 has reported no problems lately, there were problems with IE6.
Okay I used IE 7.0.5730.11 and it did the same thing. my name appears in the lower box where it shows users online but doesn't show me logged in and can't post veiw as logged in. I reset my password and it is working for the moment.
perhaps it is my firewall that is blocking it. check my internet options and they seem to be fine. we'll try this again.
Are you allowing cookies to be set? Or, deleting cookies every time that you close your browser?
(Note: some security software will do that sort of thing automatically)
What your describing sounds like a cookie issue. Forum software (such as vBulletin, which is what this forum uses) needs to set a cookie which won't be deleted between sessions in order for the login system to work correctly.
just set it to not delete cookies temp file anything .. when I shut down IE and restart it won't let me in. And there is no place to find saved password on this version of IE and I rest that too so possible it will. we'll try this again.
EDIT:12-10 I just deleted the cookies on IE and browsing history and such and it reset. now Ican log in.. Thanks Ohms.

(Tried accepting all cookies, not deleting temp files when logging off, etc.) In any case, I have a friend who is a big Opera booster, so I gave it a shot. No dice. Tried Koeske's trick (login: "troubletwins"), which worked! Once. Then never again.Quote:

It's good to be back. :D
I think that it might have been a temporary problem with the site...I had trouble, logging in, this a.m. doing my usual thing with IE7.
There may have been a problem that morning, but the one to which I was referring kept logging me out for at least a month, and it still does w/ IE 7.0 and Opera 9.27. No problems w/ Safari 3.1, though.Quote:
