For those of you that may have experienced problems logging in, here are some solutions. This is common for those that signed up when I had this site on my test server at paddle.telesero.com. There was some kind of cookie problem with people that store cookies older than 60 days. People that had an old cookie had confict problems with the new cookies. This is only with unique cases of IE. Anyways here is your fixes. If you still can't login, follow these steps (each step is a click)
That should set you straight. Remeber this forum and site only works with cookies enabled. Are you curious about cookies? Read up!

I've been meaning to post a "how-to" fix this problem, looks like James beat me You can also navigate to your cookies folder and delete the www.professorpaddle.com cookie. That way you don't delete all of your cookies which allow you to be remembered on other sites...and to be tracked by marketers and advertisers. Typical path to Cookies folder: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Cookies or just search for it. |

I'm experiencing the same problem using Firefox v1.0.6. Deleting the www.professorpaddle.com cookie doesn't solve the problem either. Any ideas? Has this been reported already? Using Internet Explorer works great!

Although this is an older problem, there are apparently still some folks with this issue. Without laborous amounts of explanation, I will attempt to unfold the illusion of what is happening here. When I made this site last Feb/Mar it was not even a real Domain Name. In other words I never bought www.professorpaddle.com, mainly because I did not think it was ever going to be used other than me and a few buddies. (Glad I was wrong ![]("smileys/smiley2.gif") )The point is I had the site running under the domain name "paddle.telesero.com" . When I realized how many people were using this site I figured I should buy the name and make it a full on hobby so I did. I bought professorpaddle.com and launched it under that address a few week later. The problem was this. Alot of search engines and users had bookmarked or visited the site while it was still under the address "paddle.telesero.com" for this reason I did not want to just turn off the old address because then previous users might get confused. Instead I made it so the old site redirected you to this server but still ran under paddle.telesero.com. Now we introduce the cookie confilict. 2 Sites 1 cookie = conflict. Alot of you might not even know you are using the old site still, mainly because the data is mirrored so you would see all the same posts and stuff. The way to tell? Look in your address bar. If you see www.paddle.telesero.com or just paddle.telesero.com you are on the old site. I was hesitant to disconnect the old site in fear that it could mess folks up but now I want it closed cause it is messing up current users anyways. The Point: Tonight at Midnight I am going to kill "paddle.telesero.com" If you go there from Midnight on you will get an error message. I don't really have to do this at midnight, but I always wanted to say "Effective Tonight at Midnight" So there you have it ... an understanding of why you have to clear that annoying cookie. If you can not login, please try these steps. If that does not work post a message in this Forum as a Guest. This is the only forum where Guests can post messages, and I did that for a reason, if you get locked out I want to help. Thanks and I hope this helps a bit. ------------- |

I wonder if that would be considered a Laborous Explanation.... seems a bit long winded to me, then again when am I not.....

James,
You may want to change the title of this forum from "Log in problems" to "Login Problems"... I sat for a minute and thought, "What river is there a rapid called 'problems,' and who cares if there is a log in it if no one ever paddles it? :-) ------------- JHB |

I'll bet that's why this forum has rapidly increased to 150 views in the last
few days, while no one cares about other fixes such as "Safari Fix"... I'm clever like that... ------------- JHB |

Dude there are some hairy lines in that rapid. That must be why so many people portage when they see problems. Punks.... None the less I changed the name of this thread, but you could have done it too Mr. Moderator! ------------- |

I'm not having any luck logging in with Firefox. I'm using v1.5. I get a "successful login" but I don't actually login. Jumping over to IE works just fine, but I like Firefox. :) Thoughts/ideas? |

I was having similar trouble and I went to this site http://kb.mozillazine.org/Video_or_audio_doesn%27t_play and installed Greasemonkey extension with the IE Media Mimic script and now it works. I also deleted the cookies I had. Consequently, I thought to look here b/c I couldn't play Youtube vids on Mozilla. Now I can. Chris ------------- DiPalma 425.218.3523 |

So, I am using the right address, and have deleted all my cookies, and I am still getting the cookies error messag. The problem started a little over a week ago.
I am using Windows Vista and IE8. Thanks, Kyle ------------- I smell bacon |

How do you think I got all the cookie crumbs out after I ate the cookies?

I still don't know what the problem is, but I downloaded Google Chrome and I can log back in, so it must be a IE issue.
