Zanryu Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm at school right now, only reason I'm on. =X So, like, I can login using IE at home, but with Firefox it says I've successfully logged in, but I'm still a guest. Shows me on the memebr list as online, but I'm not. Is it just an error with FF, or is it an error with SF related to compatability with FF? It's really pissing me off, because I hate using IE, and FF finally works on my computer back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It might also have something to do with your school blocking people from logging in to forums. But I don't know. It could easily be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 and I have no problems logging in. Maybe it's an issue with cookies? I don't really have a clue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkin Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 At least you can log in from school. I can't the computers have something that won't allow me to go to websites such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLSothe Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I use Firefox, so I doubt it is the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzaku Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I think it is a cookie deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 One of the major issues I notice with IPB boards is login issues, and they happen differently on different machines, and normally schools modify their computers from what they were designed for. (For example my school's new computers are designed for Vista, but have been downgraded to XP, and the hardware issues cause extremely slow log in times, and improper displays on the web.) This could be part of the issue, from what I've seen and heard, the best browser to use to avoid issues is firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hardware/OS should create virtually no login issues over a website, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Not true, as a website displaying on a PC is not the same when displayed on a mac. Also the graphics of the computer affect the colour, and transparencies and such. So it's not surprising other issues happen. Sort of like the Firefox Vs. IE.

Meteor Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Those are just browser rendering differences. Color range could be affected by the monitor, but that shouldn't hinder a webpage login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Those are just browser rendering differences. Color range could be affected by the monitor, but that shouldn't hinder a webpage login. Well either way sometimes it just screws people over when they try to log in. Also when I post in Audio Engineering I get this bad request page but the post go through. Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The one downside of IPB sometimes when modding it causes problems for some computers. Everyone is affected differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
