In a 2.6.0 installation (upgraded from 2.5.2) we have the following strange behaviour:
When I click on a link contained in the notification emails send when a private message has arrived or a posting in a subscribed forum or topic is done I see the following behaviour:
- The dialog "ERROR: you are not logged on" appears
- I click in the login button and complete the login dialog
- after that I'm at the forum home page, and not, as I would expect, at the PM or posting page.
- now, being logged in, I click again at the link in the notification email
- again, I end up in the "ERROR: you are not logged on" dialog
There is now way to get directly to the PM or posting which is advertised in the notification email. That used to work before with Mozilla as mail client and web browser....and we are grateful for every hint to fix that.

Are you using COOKIE or URl sessions?
|
The cookie option in the login dialog was on, and I checked, that the cookies were indeed set. For example, after a clean start (old cookies deleted) I got after the first login a cookie like
Name: fud_session_1071143156
Value: a0b3339b7b589095848b8fe674697b1b
When I now reenter the notification URL, the login dialog comes again. When I inspect the cookie now, it has been changed, has a new expiration date, and the contents
Name: fud_session_1071143156
Value: 161cbfb30436e0d404bfcc9d258c9415
The value matched in both cases the S= parameter of the URL.

Hi Ilia,
I installed a new forum from scratch and left everything but email notification with body unchanged.
When I get a notification and click reply there without being currently logged in, I get a Unauthorized page, then I choose login, give my credential and then the forum directs me to the start page, not the post I want to reply to nor the message editor.
As I figured out right now, the same happens on this support forum: I wanted to reply to your post, logged in and got to the start page.
It does not seem to be an installation/configuration problem so.
My browser is a mozilla 1.4 running on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0. I allowed your site to set cookies, the cookie it set is:
fud_session_1010519835 = 64b4391f0df8ce98e52e2b150493d34d
Regards,
Christopher

If disabling of URL sessions locked up the forum it would imply that cookies are not working for some reason. Review your cookies settings and make sure that the forum's cookie validation options are either disabled or do not interfere with cookie processing.
