My account is messed up

USMC · 02-01-2004, 10:08 PM

When I log into my account the screen says I'm not logged in. I can still post messages and things like that, but I can't preview any of my post because the screen says I have to be registered or logged in. Can anyone help?

Do you have a firewall?

I have found that I can post and then I can edit, so I just omit any attempt to preview as it would only effect my initial post and not prevent editing.
However if someone could explain the cure I will be glad to attempt to correct the situation.

Wes,

No, I don't have a firewall. Its funny though because my computer at work logs me in just fine and I have no troubles. Any solutions?

John, if it isn't a firewall issue, then it is a settings issue with the home computer.

Cookies (probably not, since you have access), so it is maybe a setting on privacy, as I find it odd that you can post messages, yet says you are not logged in?

I don't ever pre-view my post, I just post it, see how it looks and modify it if need be (pencil and paper icon in your posting).

I believe you have to have javascript turned on also.

wterrell · 02-02-2004, 06:54 PM

Ed and Herb are dead-on about the settings. But if all settings are fine, do you have any ad blocking software or such on your computer?

Hi Folks....

Thanks for the assist..!

Anway - I posted this in another thread - and figured it may help.. Also - just as an FYI - this Forum doesn't require Javascript - BUT - must browsers do support it.. Typically - the problem with"Logins" is associated with the Browser either "munging" Cookies (A tech term for screwing them up in the Cookie Index file

) or that the Cookies don't reach the Browser... Soooo.......

"Hi....

Can you please try the following first? The LugerForum uses "Cookies" to remember your Login, what posts are new since your previous visit, what posts you have contributed to, your "preferences", etc.

Therefore please check that your browser is set to "Accept" cookies. You can find these in your "TOOLS" or "PREFERENCES" sections of your Browser settings. Also, some Browser's "PRIVACY" settings can block "Cookies", so turn them to "Normal" or "Default".

Some firewalls will block cookies as well - so if you have one (like Sygate, Norton, Tiny, Kerio, ICS, etc.), you can set those to accept "Cookies" from "trusted Domains" or allow a pass through. If you'd like to set it for just THIS Forum - simply add the Domain "lugerforum.com".
