I'll test a theory.

Check your config.php - do you have a cookie prefix for vB? If not, set it to "bb".

Then log out, and log in, and try again. See if that fixes this cookie problem.

i checked it.
it is set to "bb"!
log out and in doesn't change anything.
in firefox the same.

:rolleyes: maybe under 3.03? -> on 3.02 it works very well?!

Erwin: I am using vB 3.0.2 still, but I have had this problem since the beginning.

I get no errors (PHP or otherwise) - but when I attempt to login with this script, it just takes me back to the same page - it doesn't seem to return anything at all.

I have PM'ed you with a test account, and the URL.

I had it working on 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. :) So it's not that.

Natch, when I tried your forum, it just gave me a 404 error when I tried to use it.

The moral of the story is that this hack does not seem to like some servers it seems. I don't really know why - I've run this hack on 3 different servers, and they all work.

404 when you loaded the page? or 404 when you attempted to login to your chosen email account??

this might be true

now i tried the same with 1.3 and 1.2.
suddenly, this script has no desire to work.
the provider didn't change anything.

i hope you'll find it :surprised:

When I login.

Gee - that's just plain wierd - for me it seemed to re-load the same exact page ...

You said it. :) I'm sure it's the way I've coded the cookies to work - I'll revisit it when I find time.

Thanks Doc - your attention to detail is as always appreciated ;)
