Hej
Some of my users complaining that they cant login with IE 8. Im using firefox, and dont have that problem, but some of my users using public computers at universities and cant download other browsers. Is there a problem with IE 8 and UBB?

Hej Thanks for your replies. I have istalled IE8 trying investigate login problems. There seems to be a problem with the board url and IE cookies. I had setup my board to force url with 'http://www.domain.com' but even when UBB force the url with 'www' I cant login when typing 'domain.com' in the browser line.
To login, I have to restart the browser and write 'www.domain.com' in browserline and then click on the login-link. So I guess there must be a problem with the way IE8 handle cookies.
IE8 sucks , and i have uninstalled it.
But I wants to give mr. Gates a little credit: If you have upgraded from IE7 to IE8, then its possible to get back to IE7 by uninstalling IE8 through control panel on windows Pc's
Not that I entirely agree with you there, JAISP but from today you can download the release candidate for Windows 7 from Microsoft and run it on a "free" license until June 2010. Worth a look, eh?

IE8 went on general release 19th March, 2009. It wasn't included in all Windows Updates, but rolled out in Vista updates.

Hmm.... weeuuurlll, that aside (!!), are you using an htaccess redirect for your www.domain/domain issue? It might resolve the problem.

Yes, I have tried htaccess. It redirects, but it still wont let IE8 users login. The only way I can make it work is enable 'Allow multi-url access' in control panel.

Apparently Microsoft knows that their browser sucks if they will let you go back. In past versions they did not let you roll back versions.
, and i have uninstalled it.
