Curious Forum Problem - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

**DPS Computing** · #1 (**permalink**) 31-07-2008, 13:39

Recently I have noticed a problem with the forum (or Firefox 3). Now everytime I log in, it logs me in, redirects me to the home page but shows me as logged out until I click on a forum and then click back to the forums home page.

Its not a critical problem was just wondering if its only me this is happening to or if its happening to other people as well.

Has Firefox 3 broken the forums?

Firefox 3 did the same for me on forums too.
I uninstalled Ff3. Worst release ever IMHO.

I faced similar problems but when I cleared the cache it worked for me

Glad I have kept myself away from it.

Is it something to do with me saving my password for the forums in Firefox? Don't think I had the problem before that and it fits in with the clearing the cache fixing it?

Clear the cache and whatnot, test on another profile too with no extensions. I just uninstalled Ff3 as I hate otherthings about it too.

Thanks for the tips Brian - will try them now. Do you think i have to clear my saved passwords as well?

Thanks for bringing this issue up cos I was going to. It happens to me with any browser - its happened to me in IE6, IE7 FF2 and FF3 although if I use the remember me option it works normally after a few refreshes. I thought it would have been something to do with general cookie problems with the problem. :S

**Brian** · #9 (**permalink**) 31-07-2008, 18:09

Dont think you have to delete the passwords.

**eUKhost.com** · #10 (**permalink**) 31-07-2008, 20:18

don't delete your password as it won't allow you to save it again. clear your cache and cookies once and this should get sorted.

I have similar problem with paypal and it hasn't got sorted even after clearing cache, cookies and removing saved password

probably you face such problem when you access a specific website hosting many times a day.

Agreed - clear the cache - this has sorted this very problem for me on other forums. FF3 is great in many respects - but simply awful in others. Unfortunately, what I like about it I now can't live without - so I'm stuck. Its a CPU hogger on the mac for one thing - sooooo annoying!!

**DPS Computing** · #12 (**permalink**) 01-08-2008, 07:25

Woo, for future reference to anyone else with the problem - clearing the cache seems to work

Upgrade your FF to newer version Firefox 3.0.1, you'll have not such problem, it is also more stable & secure.

Got auto updates on - I'm using 3.0.1 but unfortunately after a few visits without clearing cache same problem occurs

You tried any other browsers?

You may want to use Internet Explorer

David, if it helps, I've been using FF3 in Vista without the problems you've encountered — whether this is because I never log out, or whether it's also related to the fact that I use the default vBulletin theme, I'll leave you to comment and/or experiment?

Whilst I'm here and it's relevant to FF3, might I enquire if Ben is going to update his signature file to a) modify/remove a now redundant FF3 banner and b) proof-read the rest to eliminate the spelling mistake?
