	Can't log in with Netscape Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Suddenly I cannot log in with my good ol' Netcape 4.6. Whenever I try (for example by clicking control panel) I'm asked my name and password, and it looks like they're accepted, but when I try to do something else that requires me to be logged on (like choosing edit options or something from cp), I'm asked my password again. Posting doesn't seem to work like this, I had this obscure "thread id not found, contact your administrator" message.

IE works fine though.

Yep it works with IE. That's a relief - I thought I'd got myself banned.

I have the same problem, so I use IE for
Ape's forums.

Shouldn't Markos do something?

Good to know that I'm not the only one.
I actually thought that Markos was angry
on me, because of I had tried to start a topic on the
Apolyton Civil War, and therefore he had
banned me.

So...the moral of the story is:

Don't use Netscape!

You have to show us the evidence,
or is that just the same old story,
"Microsoft is best", but no proof?

You can say what ever you want,
but I will continue to use good old
Netscape. That's a fact.

AHA! Don't use Linux either!!!

But seriously...this is just a problem with NS 4.6...so one upgrade and all is fixed...right...?

But it doesn't mean that the problem is solved, oh no... I just unclicked the "browse board with cookies" option in Apolyton control panel (MarkG, did you have that turned on yourself? If yes, then it's probably something else than just my browser, I'd just like to be sure). It's an ugly workaround, because without cookies I have to type my password for every session in order to see the layout I want, or the latest topics marked red. I want my cookies back...

No - I was posting on NS 6.0 or 6.1 (forget which) at work on Linux. Whereas 6.1 on Windows is fine.

Maybe it's more to do with the configuration of options, either in NS or at Apolyton...

Anyway, I'm becoming dangerously productive at work, so I better be able to post from there soon....

Uuaaah!

Just wrote a longish post, but when I was finished my session id (now stored in the url instead of cookies) had expired. I had to login again after pressing the submit button, and then I got the invalid threadid message again. If it wasn't for my paranoid habit of copying every post I make to the clipboard, I would've lost it. I'm stubbornly not going to switch to IE, so it would be nice to have the cookies fixed sooner or later. Was there some sort of update or change in the board yesterday that may have possibly caused this? I am pretty sure my NS setting haven't changed (after all, they worked fine until yesterday), I am just not getting the cookies anymore. And that's only the Apolyton cookies... other sites that use cookies work fine, and even here I get the hitbox cookies and such...

No. More like a thread on discussing the cookie problem.

Markos,

Did you read my other thread? I now can't even log in with Mozilla.

Try logging out with the "use cookies" method enabled with either NS or Moz. It won't log you out.

Sure, if you are already logged in, then you can post messages. But the thread colours won't be updated correctly.

Surely this is Markos' fault, seeing that IE treats it properly.

Whatever the case, Markos, fix it now.

I can't log in and post under my Linux partition or from school, and it's f*cking annoying.

'Provost' in conjunction with 'Harrison' is equivalent to 'D!ck'.

I'm also not seeing the users who last posted, or the smilies next to the threads.

Same problem for me, with Netscape 4.72 at home--Apolyton is not writing cookies to my browser, though FFZ is:

It was working before, so Markos had to make some changes to the code that messed it up.

Well I have had this problem at work with NetScape as some *** had blocked IE on my computer, so I downloaded the most recent version of Netscape for my computer at work. And talk about slow! It is absolutely awful compared to IE. It is not a myth, Netscape is a lot slower than IE, especially on a computer with a limited amount of memory. So I got rid of the damn thing as it was just ridiculous. I, instead, applied myself, circumvented the security settings on IE and put my own supervisor password on the damn thing That'll teach people to mess with my computer
