Why do I have to log in twice?
« on: June 21, 2007, 04:40:29 pm »
Hello folks....

I was wondering why I have to log in twice and why I don't see the "recent posts" high lighted.  I imagine I don't see the new posts because I log in twice and the server thinks I was just there???

rather then logging in a second time try reading your pms or browsing the site, sometimes that will log you in

Thanks burn you money....


Seems to work flawlessly for the moment.

Highlighted threads lite up as soon as I logged in once. Guess you got the touch!

I have the same problem when I hit the "log in" button. I now log in using the "log in to check your private messages" button. Works just fine.

It can vary depending on your browser security settings.  I have one computer that does the same thing with IE, but works fine with Firefox.

you need to go to this link:
http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/

NOT TO:
http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/

its something to do with domains or so, when you go to the first link you also see the new messages sindce your last log in, when you go via the 2nd link with the www in, you need to log twice and you dont see new unreaded topics colored in orange.

The link on the homepage http://ww.vwdiesel.net to the forum should be changed, if it is without www it should be better, anyway i added a good link in my favorites in my diesel map

Yes that's it!

I have the second in my (Firefox) bookmarks and it's what I use to log in.

Thanks Benjamin.
