Had problems signing in from internet café - any ideas?

dplax · 08-09-2004, 01:13 PM

I was on vacation in France and not being able to be seperated from Ironworks for a month I went to an internet café several times (main reason was to look at emails of course

). The first and second times I went there Ironworks worked without any problems, but after that whenever I tried to sign in I was taken back to the Forum Summary and was not signed in. Any idea why this might have happened?

Im sure that has happened to me before, but Im not sure why. Could be a cookie problem, was it the same cafe each time?

Same café each time. First two times it worked, after that no.

My guess would be settings that didn't allow cookies. Your login information is stored as one, so that being turned off would give you that kind of behavior.

Or maybe one of Choc's enemies tracked you down and sabotaged the computers when you weren't looking...

Or, since it's an internet cafe, there may be different settings on different computers. Depending on how savvy they are, that may or may not be an issue.

Sorry to intrude but I'd like to add that until I tried again recently, I hadn't been able to log in either. Using the same PC, belonging to my brother (and yes I remembered the password this time

).

Not complaining as such, just poiinting out this bug. I would enter my username and password correctly and then I would be taken to the forum selection page, but my username would not be present on the page like it would be normally. Instead it had the "click here to log in button".

Edit-Just like dplax
