RedZone Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 If you look at the image below there is a double link? Atleast thats what you can call it. I logged in and went threw the redirect page and then url showed. (http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?http://forums.invisionpower.com/)Is this a bug or just a normal working setup that IPB has setup?
Lewis P Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Don't know what to suggest. Doesnt happen for me. Have you cleared your cache etc?
RedZone Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Yup! I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
Working4computers Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I've experienced this before; though I've never reported it. Maybe something related to cookies?
RedZone Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Or maybe something with the redirect and the cookies together?
.Ryan Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 No its maybe a cookie issue or a bug issue, because it happens to me too. I just never really thought of posting, and I am using firefox, and thats the exact same URL I get sometimes.
Brandon C Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I have seen this before, but the only time I've ever seen this was when I first logged into the forums and after it redirected me to the board index. It doesn't happen that often anymore, however.
Brian Garcia Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I believe I remember this since the good old IPB 1.3 times. I don't believe its a bug though, just something I can not explain ^_^ .
Sam A Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 It's to do with the way IPB uses the referring URL when you login, could be a bug.
bfarber Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 It doesn't cause any detrimental effect - not sure why it would need to be categorized as a bug.IPB tries to capture the url to send you to when you go to login. In one or two cases it captures the full url to the board, and puts that in the URL. It doesn't hurt anything though. :)
PolakTom101 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 This also happens on other websites like I noticed on Web Hosting Talk twice so it is in vB too.

bfarber Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Well, we could spend our time trying to remove that from the login url, or spend our time fixing REAL bugs and adding the new features people want to see in the product. You tell me which is more worthwhile. ;)
Luke Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 You could always add it as a confirmed bug with a priority of 0.000000000000001.
