Login

[Louis]

I cleared all my cookies, I relogin, click Remember me. But every day, I need to relogin, it's accepted but when it reloads I must relogin again. Always same thing.

Then restart the dance, clear cookies,...

Why?

[SweatyCarrot]

hmmm what browser are you using?

[Zap]

Have you tried another computer?

I had a similar problem but can't quite remember how I resolved the issue.

• Check that your browser allows cookies from btwimho.
• Check that your browser is remembering your password, for instance in FF you might have the option switched off.
• If you have a firewall/internet security software make sure it isn't causing problems.

Firefox

Have you tried another computer?

Yup, same thing at work and home. Firefox on Mac at home and Firefox on Windoze at work.

• If you have a firewall/internet security software make sure it isn't causing problems.

• No specific settings for cookies. I must go delete them everyday in order to stay logged in from page to page.
• Yup, it's enabled
• No firewall issues.

It's because your fake avatar is sexier than Zap's fake avatar.

Hmmm, I'm not logged on the main page, but I'm logged in when checking all other pages... WTF?

[tsdesigns]

Are you logged in to http://btwimho.com/ but not logged in to http://www.btwimho.com/? Or the other way around?

www and non www act as different domains, so set different cookies in the browser.

ps Zap - with a little .htaccess magic you can force the "www." on the front of the domain. (Apparantly) better for SEO too as it doesn't count as duplicate content.

Brilliant deduction and probably the cause.
I follow you up to the ".htaccess magic" part. LOL!
I am not great with .htaccess

And Louis, what happens if you use Internet Explorer?

Yup, logged in on www . btwimho . com and logged out on btwimho . com.

I get itchy all over...

To be able to post links or images your post count must be 25 or greater. You currently have 15 posts.

Please remove links from your message, then you will be able to submit your post.

Damn, I'm only replying with quotes....

[tsdesigns]

Yup, logged in on www . btwimho . com and logged out on btwimho . com.

That'll be the issue then! hmm, wonder why this hasn't come up before.

Zap, if you like I'll sort the .htaccess file for you =)

I have to say, IE's getting better...but it's still nowhere near as good as the rest, way too many restrictions in their development process that stop the IE team from making the browser great. It's just what people use as it comes with windows...

If you can, that would be awesome.
Thanks Dude.

Here's what's in there currently...

This should work:

Just remove the spaces from the URL (it kept turning it into a link, had to add spaces)

oops...LOL...You have that Nick. Good deal!

[Zap]

All right Louis.
You've got the greatest minds in the universe solving the problem right here.

How is it now?

[tsdesigns]

All right Louis.

haha I don't know about that...I just do this too often on client sites I know what to do!

Seems to be working for me anyway, so should be fine all round!

Speaking of client sites, I should probably get back to work...

[Louis]

btwimho . com gets redirected to www . btwimho . com and it seems all good!
