Solved Login problem

Post by Prof Pat Pending Sat Mar 11, 2017 4:17 am

Hi

One of my members seems to be having an issue logging into my forum http://freeman-cruisers.forumotion.co.uk/

His username is Jim Wills

I've reset his password and tested it, all appears good to me, but he still can't log in.
He doesn't seem to be getting any error messages after hi log in attempt fails, so I'm a bit stumped.

Any ideas

Kind regards

Pat

Hi

As mentioned above, he tells me he's not getting an error message.

He's tried two different devices with different browsers and sent his username and password back to me

Seems to be.

No error message, just does not work for me! Tried again this morning on my iPad, still does not work! At bottom of page PERMISSIONS: Cannot Post Cannot Reply wrote:

I would have suggested clearing the cache as mentioned above, but iPads are pretty good at that and he's tried on two devices

Do you have Delete Forum Cookies active? If so, tell him to hit that link at the bottom right of the forum index, and then try logging in again. There may be user violations on the server that require his login cookie to be reset. Edit: He should be viewing the forum in Desktop mode, not mobile mode for this to work.

If this does not serve to work, then perhaps checking Safari Preferences to ensure third party cookies can be saved. If all else fails, tell him to reset Safari Preferences, using the Reset button. If he does not want to reset Safari, then tell him to clear website data: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265

Let us know of outcome. Smile

Deleting forum cookies didn't help, but clearing the history did Smile
