I've set up a forum and it all seems to be working properly, sort of.

I have tested my forum using Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. Users can successfully register a new account using all three browsers. But the only browser that lets them successfully log in to their account is Firefox. Using Chrome and Internet Explorer, users cannot log in to their forum accounts.

I'm a total newbie at all this stuff, and I have not idea where to even begin looking for the problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks much,
Scott

Do you have cookies enabled in all browsers? Can you log in to this forum (fudforum.org) with those browsers?

Also try to play with settings like "Enable URL sessions", "Use Session Cookies", "Session Referrer Check", "Session IP Validation", etc.

Yes, as far as I can tell, all three browsers have cookies enabled. However, my forum is on our company's intranet, and the IT Department manages a lot of different security settings for our computers, browsers, and other installed software. For example, in the Internet Explorer settings, I tried to add my forum as a trusted site, but IT has that setting disabled for non-admin users. But I've never experienced a cookie-refusal issue with other websites using Chrome and IE, so that indicates to me that cookies are enabled on Chrome and IE.

Yes, I can use Chrome, IE, and Firefox to log in to fudforum.org.

I set the following settings:
Enable URL Sessions = Yes
Use Session Cookies = No
Session Referrer Check = No
Session IP Validation = No
Multiple Host Login = No

With the above settings, I can now log into my forum using Chrome, IE, and Firefox. So the above settings fixed the problem.

Everything seems to be working properly now. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated!

I had the exact opposite problem. IE & Chrome allowed login, Firefox did not.

I changed my settings to match yours, and now all three work. Thanks!


(btw, Enable URL Sessions was the only one different, mine *was* set to "No" like all the others)
