Some people may have problems with forum or the site viewing
For example:
You log out, the message tells you that you successfully logged out but if you take a look at the main page, you are still logged in. (The User's Login box still shows user information instead of a "log-in box")
-OR-
You log out from the forums, and you ARE logged out according to the main page (The box for User name and password will show). After logging out, you go back to the forums, and you see your self logged in (It says "Welcome Back Username").
-OR-
The total opposite where you try to sign in, and it tells you that you successfully logged in, but if you look at the forums you are still not logged in.
-OR-
You change styles from the "Style Selector" but both styles are same (There are 2 styles, Default Style has the latest header and button, and the Original has Older header and buttons. Basically 2 styles should look totally different at the top of the page.).
-OR-
You get weird messages and the site just don't look right.
If you have ANY of thoes symtoms while visiting the site. You have the "cookie" bug. What happend is, after moving servers, I have integrated the Forums and the entire site into one. There used to be 2 seperate cookies for the site handling all the settings and prefences. After merging the two, I decided to have 1 cookie for the whole site.
The ONLY way to fix this problem is to clear your cookies for the site. The easiest way to do this is by going to:
TOOLS -> INTERNET OPTIONS -> DELETE COOKIES
This is cause all your browser to reset the site back to it's default setting and you'll have to log back on to the site. The only problem with doing that is it'll delete ALL your cookies, so if you were going to another site that used cookies (another Forums), it'll also delete the setting there too, and you'll have to log in there again also.
I do not know how many people are effected by this. This probably is not a major problem for most people. But if there are people that use multiple user names for their brother or sister, it'll be a problem, since you can't log off.
Basically all you have to do is delete the cookies from your browser to fix everything so the whole site functions properly. Sorry about this inconveince. :dead:
