IPB has stopped releasing cookies

Featured Replies

Posted

I noticed this problem when i upgraded from 2.1.7 despite the fact that nothing was changed.

I noticed that SupportersUnited also had the same problem as well. I think IPB should really look into this cookies issue. I see a whole lot of posts on it. And I hope this doesnt get locked because this COULD possibly be a problem since I am not the only one with the problem.

Take a look for yourself...

It's not a cookie problem. Its the way the cookies are handled. You have to delete all old cookies for the board, set all the cookie settings in the ACP and it will work properly. I had the same problems with B1, B2 and RC until I properly set the cookies.

If it is a setting issue then it is my fault. In that case since it would be like support I wont continue further on this topic. Thanks for the clarification.

I just figured out the solution to this problem....

Go to Tools and Setting and then view general settings and hit cookies...

Please fill in the following...

Cookie Domain: your domain name like urbanpk.com

Cookie Name Prefix: you can put anything you like in here like Forums1 of Forums2 or Ihatemonkeys

That should fix it :thumbsup:

That's odd...it only took the one field for me. (Using IE6)

The even weirder part is that I dont have 2 IPB boards running on that host.

I just deleted all cookies set by the forum and tried again and the problem was fixed for me :).

I have the same problem, I must say it's a little annoying :(

So once you upgrade to the new version EVERY member must clear their cookies for it to properly work for them?

Did both of you try what I suggested?

That is very annoying to tell every members to clear their cookies. Also it will be hard to explain to them how to do it.

I agree. If that is the case I am not upgrading unless there's a way to disable that because it's ridiculous.

i have to always login everytme i visit a site running ipb 2.2 now.. even if i close the window and go right back..used to not have to do this before. i tried clearing all internet history.. dont hlp any, i even have to log in here every time i visit

The stronghold cookie setting may also be what's causing your cookie issues. You can disable that and it should work fine.

I've had both beta and RC versions and not had cookie problems at all. Only log in was the 1st time and thats it so far! (i did go into option and add my domain like it says!

disables stronghold cookies and works for me now :)

stronghold is already disabled. But alot of members still having problem.

All the members have to do is click on the link on the front of the board to delete cookies set by this board, then re-logon. An the cookies issue will be solved. Very simple.

Why should I tell every members to do this? It is not sensible. IPB should be able to control it.

I found another bug.

If you use Internet Explorer 6.

login on the forum, eg: www.mysite.com/forum then go back to homepage www.mysite.com then click on the form link to www.mysite.com/forum. i have re-login!

It's not a bug.

It has been explained what needs to be done already.

In RC3, we've added more code to try to prevent issues if you don't set your cookie domain.
