Logging in Problem

edited February 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hey guys, My forum is on www.uncommondialogue.com/forum/ It's doing strange things. When I'm not logged in, it shows no discussions or categories at all...but I'm sure I have it set up so anyone can at least browse the forum. What might be problem be? Am I overlooking something?? Thanks everyone, -JT

Comments

  • I do have 'Allow non-members to browse the forum' checked.
  • Will someone please help out? This looks like a big problem...but I've hardly done any editing to the forum.
  • Hah, ok...finally figured it out. Apparently "banned" is the role applied to anyone that hasn't applied for registration. Man, that was a bit misleading, but I guess it makes some sort of sense. Meehhhh. Sorry guys.
  • Sorry if I wasn't here earlier, but yes, the "banned" role does take precedence over guests and non-members. Documentation rules! /me really needs to freshen up the docs a bit when he gets time
  • heh, aye. i meant to tackle some the other day but i got distracted by the thought of 0.93.
  • Not related jtylers problem, but I can't find any other way of saying this. I can't seem to log in into this forum. I can post replies (with my username and password so I know they work) but can't start a topic. When I try to sign in, the forum keeps me signed out. Can anyone help?

    That is really odd. The only thing I can suggest is clearing your cookies.

    What browser/version are you using?
  • Sounds like a possible sessions issue we had a few weeks ago. It wasn't apparent at first, but something was ill configured. Remember that one, mini? I have a hunch the same could be happening here.

    @lech: but he's talking about *this* forum, and if the sessions work on here for some of us, they should also work for all of us. Hence why I think it's probably a cookie issue.
  • It must have been a cookie problem. I cleared them and this time the forum allowed me to log in. Thanks for the help, Mark.

    No problem :)
  • Change it back. For the love of god please change it back. One minute I'm logged in, the next I'm not.
  • Yeah holy crap man
  • oh, THIS forum, ok, then I have no clue what's going on.

    Are you guys talking about this: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/1423/urgent-0926-and-sessionid/ If so, please post your problems in there. If nothing else, I want to prove a point.
  • I am unable to remain logged-in on Firefox 1.5. I can post stuff by using the username and password over the comment field, but I don't stay logged in afterward.
  • mark, this is what I was reffering to : http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/1653/2/093-install-problems/

  • This was a problem for me as well in Vanilla 1.1.8 - I had unchecked categories for Unauthenticated and Banned. I reallowed Unauthenticated as per http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/35750/#Comment_35750

    ... and it seems to work fine. I am able to view all discussions without being logged in.
