I was just wondering how someone can be on 2 times at the same time?

Aah that's what you mean. Can't really remember i said that though.

I posted the above before we spoke, but I'm grateful for the clarification and glad the issue isn't actually a problem with the site.

You gave/provided the version of firefox.exe

However the Firefox application version is 3.0.10

When you login some unique bits of info are generated to identify you. One of these is based on your ip address, the rest are generated randomly by the server.

These bits of info are stored in a cookie in your browser, and in the database.

Each time you browse to a new page these bits of info are retrieved from your cookies and validated against the values stored in the database for your user account.

If the information does not match you get the "oops, there was a problem..." message.

I can't understand where in this process things are going wrong for you. If you login in one browser, login in a second browser and then go back to the first browser you'll get the message because the login in the second browser will have changed the info in the database... but if you aren't changing browser or changing IP I can't understand where the mismatch could be occurring. Possibly there could be a problem setting cookies on your browser, but I don't really see how this could be.

I can't replicate in FF3.0.10 (which is what you're using, you gave the .exe version), nor any other browser. Noone else has mentioned any issues, and the login system hasn't really changed significantly since last summer :/

Very sorry but I'm struggling to understand what is going on and so can't do anything to fix things unless you or someone else could suggest any other possible factors?

Well we already talked about it, and those error messages were probably because I logged in on my PSP too (just saying for others). But I can't remember i sent you the .exe file?

Is there a way we can make smileys work without having to be seperated from other characters by a space. For example:

Blah blah blah :).

That one always gets me and it looks silly to both get rid of the full stop all together and put a space inbetween the full stop and the smiley, plus putting the smiley after the full stop dosen't make sense either if there is another sentence after the full stop.

This should probably belong in the other thread (sorry Larchy and admins ) but can we please have a preview feature for tutorials, I couldn't even see the latest tutorial I wrote until it was approved.

Edit: Ouch, text is way to hard to read!

Nope, i'm not

You're not on a connection with a changing IP or owt are you?

Oops!

There was a problem with the login information stored by your browser. Please try logging in again.

Return to home page

This is a message i'm getting loads of times, and when i click on something like "Home" it gives me that message again. The only thing i can do to cure it is to delete my cookies.

Spent a while improving the way nested quotes, missing quote tags etc are all handled. Should be more robust now

Edit:

lol good grief, just checked that thread. No wonder the quotes parser was struggling

Looks like theres a missing close tag in your post, which the new code handles without barfing on the output... the orphaned tag just doesn't get processed.

Ahh... you mis spelled a [/quote] tag as [/qoute]
