BBS auto sign in failure
« on: January 31, 2005, 06:38:54 AM »
AS a refreshing change, this has nothing to do with 2.02

I recently had to reformat and reinstall (dont ask), and afterwards I have been unable to use to automatically log in feature for the BBS. I have cookies enabled for this site, and for the entire hitechcreations domain.

Also, i have not been able to see the squad list or the stats list -- the headers are the same, but no data appears beneath.

 I have Windows XP Pro with SP2; before reinstall I had avoided SP2. I have the SP2 firewall turned off though, using Norton instead.

Any ideas about what settings i need to change on my end?

Heh, I know this sounds stupid but, did you log in manually?  If you did a new install, you emptied your browser cache of all your old cookies so of course it wont recognize you and sign you in automatically.  And if you didnt log in yourself manually, you wont see the squad/stats lists.

The log in text boxes are also case sensitive.

Make sure your upper and lower case letters/numbers are correct.
