Solving forum login and gallery login problems | |
This information has been superceded by the post here: solving issues with forum login
If you're having trouble with the forum or gallery not showing you as logged in and refusing to go through the login process then keep reading
It's a problem with the forum/gallery cookie. To cure the problem, use the correct method depending on which browser you're using:
Internet Explorer
NOTE: There is a side effect of this simple Internet Explorer method - you can only delete all of the cookies and so you will be logged out of every web site that you're a member of or have a username for - follow the advanced method below (thanks to Slimer for the info) to delete only the RRSPORT cookies.
First of all, log out from RRSPORT.CO.UK. Then in Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu (fifth one along) and then select Internet Options (bottom menu item).
In the middle section of the window that pops up, under "Temporary Internet Files" is a button marked "Delete Cookies". Click it, and then press the OK button on the window that pops up saying "Delete all cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder?".
Then click the OK button on the Internet Options window and exit all Internet Explorer windows. Then load up Internet Explorer again, visit RRSPORT.CO.UK, log in with your username/password and try the gallery again.
ADVANCED: Shutdown IE, search for and delete any file that starts Cookie: and contains the word rrsport in the name in your C:\Documents and Setting\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files (XP) or C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files (Vista, 7, folder. You may have to adjust your view preferences (Tools\Folder Options\View Tab in Windows Explorer) to show hidden and system files if you do not see any of these folders or files
Mozilla Firefox
First of all, log out from RRSPORT.CO.UK. Then in Firefox, go to the Tools menu (sixth one along) and then select Options (bottom menu item).
In the left hand side of the window that pops up, click the "Privacy" button (with the padlock icon). In the privacy panel, click the + icon to the left of the "Cookies" title (fifth option down) so that the yellow cookies panel opens. Click the button marked "View Cookies".
On the "Stored Cookies" window that appears, scroll down until you have "rrsport.co.uk" in the left hand side (under the "Site" heading). Click "rrsport.co.uk", and then press the "Remove Cookie" button (bottom left). If you don't have a "rrsport.co.uk" cookie, carry on to the next section.
Then scroll down to "www.rrsport.co.uk" and repeat the above method to delete the cookie.
Then click the OK button on the Stored Cookies window, then the OK button on the Options window and exit all Firefox windows. Then load up Firefox again, visit RRSPORT.CO.UK, log in with your username/password and try again.
