Hi !

I'm a user of the forum dahf.dk, which uses Ultimate Buletin Board version 6.1. Since I have changed my system to Windows XP Pro I haven't been able to login on that forum. Weird, because I have no problems using login in this UBB-forum. I have tried everything, and the owner and the users of the forum haven't been able to help me. I have tried deleting all cookies on my computer, but that didn't help. I have also compaired my internet options with a friend, but that doesn't seem to be the problem either.

Have anybody had a simular problem? Or does anybody know why I can't login on that forum (dahf.dk)?

Hope you can help me...

Flarup

Just to check - are you running IE6?

Try adding the site to the trusted sites zone in IE.

What does it tell you when you try to log-in - do you get an error message? blank page? dumbfounded stare?

I've just tried adding the site (dahf.dk) to the trusted site zone, but that didn't help either.

[QUOTE]What does it tell you when you try to log-in - do you get an error message? blank page? dumbfounded stare?[/QUOTE]When I sign in using my username and password, this message arrives (I've translated the actual message from Danish into English):

"Thanx for loggin in. Wait a moment...then you'll be transfered back to: [url= http://www.dahf.dk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1"]http://www.dahf.dk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1"[/url] />

...But when I'm transfered back to the forum, it still says, that I haven't signed in! This means that I can't do anything.

------------------
NB! When I sign in with MY username and password on dahf.dk using my father's computer (which also uses Windows XP), there is no problems.
------------------

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Best regards,

I just tried to register in this forum: http://www.mtvasia.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi - which uses UBB 6 just like dahf.dk. In MTVasia's forum I have the same problem as I have in dahf.dk's forum. My conclusion is: that I have problems with proberbly all UBB-forums and not with "open Topic"-forums. Any ideas why? - or any solutions?

Best regards,

Flarup

My technical support people just installed IE 6.0 on my system and it's returning the same bad results as Flareup. (Actually, in my case it just goes to "Thanks for logging in!
Sit tight... We are taking you back to: [url= http://..."]http://..."[/url] and then never does anything else.)
I can still login to my UBB Control Panel.
I'm on Win2k and UBB 6.1.0.3.

The "doesn't do anything afterward" is a different issue - ensure you have no JavaScript in the header - if you do, please remove it or post in the PIT forum.

I don't have any JavaScript in the header, but I'll post in the PIT anyway.

same thing happens to me. in ie6 it doesnt work
but in netscape nav. it works

Isn't there anybody outthere, who can help us? We cannot be the only one with this problem. There have to be some kind of bug in UBB or in IE 6.0.
