Weird Problem

[JiF][AARP]Tissueman · Fri Aug 25, 2006 1:35 pm

So far I've only seen this on my work laptop. I log into the website and instead of seeing "log out [JiF][AARP]Tissueman" I still see "log in", but when I look at the list of people logged in my nick is there. So I'm logged in but not logged in. Then I log in again and I'm really logged in, but the virtual me has read all the messages so I have to check dates to find the new messages.

One solution would be to not check the forum from work. Any ideas? (Grimp, that might be of real help)

Same thing happened to me after I first re-registered.
Had me on the list of people on, but I still had to log in.
Hasn't happened since though.

I was so tempted to post something irreverent and unrelated
Tissue, but I (since you only warned Grimp) actually had
something relavent.
Sorry if I've let you down...

Yeah, the same thing has happened to me. I think it has to do with some residual cookies from the old forums, but I will give it more attention if it continues and after we get some of the more important configs finished.

I deleted all my old cookies and rebooted my machine and n=1 it's working right now.

Same with me. Removed all cookies associated with jiff.net, restarted IE and have not had a problem all day.

I'm still getting this problem on my work laptop. I have no problem at home. If I delete cookies AND restart IE then it logs in fine. If I don't do both, then I have to log in twice. The first log in shows me 'logged in', but I still have the log in option. I also don't have visual indication of what posts I have not read. The second log in gives me the 'log out' button, but by then I've 'read' all the messages. I have to go by message time to figure out what I have not read. I have IE 6.0 at work. I use IE at home also, but I don't know what version.

I just logged off and back in okay after I checked the remember me spot. Then I logged out, closed that window and tried another already open window. Same problem. I usually have 3 copies of IE open. Maybe that has something to do with it. I'll try keeping just one copy open and see if that matters. I would have just editted the last post, but I need the peanuts.

Further testing blew holes in that theory. Still a problem. Oh well.

Are other people having this problem as well?

I haven't been able to duplicate the issue, not sure what to do from here.

same here, although haven't tried deleting the cookies yet.

Kelly works with me so it could be a company issue.

I have the login problem. I have flushed the cookies.
When I go to the site it has not remembered my login. I login and the login menu is still there instead of swtiching to the logout menu.
I look at who is online and I am, but I am not really logged in as I can't see the private forums.
I log in again and then I am really logged in.

Oh, and I don't work with Tissue. Now he did send me and email maybe that did it

So far it's people who work where I do and old people...

Yeah, this is still happening to me. Will be checking it out this week.

I don't understand cookies, but I get two of them when I visit the website:

XXXX@www.jiff[2].txt
XXXX@jiff[1].txt

where XXXX is my identifier. JiF seems to be the only site that does this.
