Hi, Im having a bit of a problem with the forum, I PM's an admin to find out how to get it sorted and he sugested I should post here.

I have just recently rejoined this comunity in order to see how the new ork codexes (FINALLY) ins and outs looked.

Anyways all seemed to work fine untill I got into discussions on multi page threads, it seemed the site automatically logged me out as soon as I moved to page 2+.

While in threads there is a workaround as I can post from page 1 and simply manually enter quotes but for page 2+ topics there is no workaround.

I am using firefox browser, as far as I know I am using the latest version.
I dont know if it makes a difference but I have cookies restricted , I do not have them completelly off but can choose to accept or not depending on the source. I have set dakka dakka to allow.

I hope to hear from a mek as soon as one can get to this.

regards

Do you have javascript disabled? Do you have any sort of noscript plugin for firefox active? Could you try enabling all cookies (for all sites) and then trying dakka (we have a very complicated cookie setup). Could you also describe your *exact* process for replicating this, step by step, eg:
1. I go to dakkadakka.com
2. I click on forums
3. I click on login
etc

Thanks

I do, against my better judgement, have javascripts on.

As for cookies, I could try this but if I have to enable cookies for all sites then I think I rather have the problem.

I will thus get back to you as soon as I can.

Is it more convenient for you if I post here or should I PM you?

Ok fast test done, it has to do with firefox or my settings in firefox.

I started explorer and logged in, no problems there.

I will go over my settings and will get back as soon as I can.

We have tested in great depth with firefox (and do compatibility testing with IE, Opera and Safari), but there are a few settings that can get mucked up in firefox.

Posting here is the best place too, as then people who end up with similar problems can read through and figure out what is wrong without PMing back and forth

One thing that seems to be a relatively common firefox problem is your firefox profile getting slightly corrupted, causing unpredictable behaviour. This can happen quite naturally from upgrading firefox between versions, disk failures or crashes, and many other reasons. I sometimes recommend that you try resetting your firefox profile with the instructions provided here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows

before you do so, please make sure that you have a backup (or list) of all your settings including bookmarks as you will need to re-enter them after setting things up. This will rule out any problems with firefox configuration though.

Your ISP might be unusual and could use a large number of proxy servers that have different IP addresses which will result in the login system getting confused as to where you are coming from and sometimes this will cause you to be logged out for security reasons. Since you have tried it with IE and have not had any problems that can be ruled out in this instance (AOL are the main ISP who do things like that fwiw).
