Login with Safari

Hey Grant,
I have the strangest problem with login after the upgrade.
I can't login using Safari (Mac OS X) unless I first login using Firefox and then subsequently login with Safari.
Tried clear browser cache & restart browser multiple times. Didn't work...

Anyone else have this problem?

Similar problems with Chrome and Firefox...

Can't log in with Chrome. Cleared cache and restarted browser, same result. Tried again, same result.
Tried with Firefox. Same result.

Dusted IE8 off and this works (hence able to post). Went back to Chrome whilst still logged in with IE8 and I can now log in.

_________________________

Logged out of Chrome and IE8, then started Chrome by itself and I can now log in OK.

BTW Grant, you should put another way for people to contact you on the yellow header otherwise people who can't find a workaround to logging in won't be able to let you know!

Tim

I use Firefox, Mac OS10.x

I can no longer click the titles of the categories on the left side of my screen ("About Us," "Forums," etc.) to collapse the lists below each title. That means I need to scroll down to find "Posts Last 24 Hours" each time I open the site. I don't like scrolling down; I'm growing old quickly and don't have the time to spare anymore.

Plus: the giant yellow box hurts my head. It would be just as effective if it were a quarter the size.

I'm not seeing what's been gained, but I trust it's significant.

Mark

For firefox try removing the cookies:

Preferences -> Privacy -> remove individual cookies (or Show Cookies)

Search for horizonsunlimited and then delete them all.

In chrome there should be an equivalent option.

all good with Firefox 4.0.1 running on both Windows XP and Windows 7
There was an issue with 4.0.0 which the above update fixed.

That seems to have fixed the issue with Safari!
Now works without having to start FF first.
However, it seems to keep me logged in without clicking the remember me box. Not an issue at home, but one would have to remember to physically log out when using a net cafe PC.
All this talk of cookies has made me hungry.
I'll play with the HUBB more next week. Time to go out and ride my motorcycle!!

Back to using the Windows XP machine, can't log on at all with Chrome no matter what I do to clear cache, cookies, history and downloads. Also tried logging out from HUBB.

I can log on with IE8 (which I don't normally use at all) but one change from yesterday, even with IE8 logged on, I can't log on with Chrome.

The above was on Windows XP notebook PC. Just tried on my Windows 7 notebook with Chrome and Safari (not Firefox) with EXACTLY the same result, it wasn't until I used the hated IE8 to log in that Chrome would do the same.

From the warning in the yellow box there's obviously some recognition that there might be a problem logging on, perhaps if the underlying problem was explained it might make it easier for people to work out how to solve their environment.

If I open a window with the HUBB in it without being signed in, and while thats open delete all HUBB cookies in Firefoxs preferences, why once I've typed in Grizzly7 does it still know my password?

If I delete HUBB cookies, and then open a HUBB window found via Google, since the HUBB is not currently a favourite etc, it also still knows the password?

Where else is that stuff stored?!

You have the password saved in your browser. Clearing your cookies does not affect this in any way. Nothing of this sort is stored in cookies.

To clarify the yellow message regarding login issues:

The problem is not actually with login per-se, but rather with the vBulletin session timing out before the Drupal session - this can happen if you login, and are inactive for a period of time. What will happen is you will still be logged in to Drupal, but no longer logged in to vBulletin, and this conflict will not allow you to re-login to vBulletin until you logout from Drupal.

If you are seeing the vBulletin header with the "login" form (no "welcome" screen), then you are NOT logged in to vBulletin. If you can access User account | Horizons Unlimited and see the "view" and "edit" tabs (see screenshot below), then you ARE logged in to Drupal. In this case, visit http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/logout and re-login normally - NO NEED TO CLEAR YOUR COOKIES in this scenario.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
