Re: login page disappears
I'm not seeing the problem with IE.
You might want to try this. It can't hurt. Log out. Try deleting your cookies and any temporary internet files (cache). Try logging in again. See if that makes any difference.
Re: login page disappears
This is a known problem that is being looked at, there are many off us having similar problems and even after doing what Lara suggested it still hasn't fixed the problem.
Happens at all different screen modes as well.
Re: login page disappears
Hi Lara,
The reason this is happening is because the html on the login.php page is incomplete - the html & body tags are missing. Right now all it ends up with is:
Code:
<form method="post" name ="thisform" action="http://forums.pcphotoreview.com//login.php">
<input type=hidden name="vb_login_username" value="Mig">
<input type=hidden name="cookieuser" value="1">
<input type=hidden name="vb_login_password" value="NotTelling">
<input type=hidden name="s" value="">
<input type=hidden name="do" value="login">
<input type=hidden name="forceredirect" value="1">
<input type=hidden name="vb_login_md5password" value="yadayadayada">
<input type=hidden name="REDIRECT" value="http://forums.photographyreview.com/index.php?">
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.thisform.submit();
</script>
IE will let you get away with this, but REAL browsers (sorry - gotta get my IE digs in) expect complete code.
You can test this by looking at the source of your own login.php page. Save the source as another html file and try opening it with both IE & Firefox - it will only work in IE. Now add <html><body>......</body></html> and try it again - it works in both.

Re: login page disappears
Except it happens after the login has happened and on subsequent pages it is intermittently happening, so I don't think that is the main cause of the problem.
I just checked a page that this happend to me after writing this original two lines and viewed the source as well. There is a <body> tag and and ending </body> tag as well in the coding in the correct places as well.
What I don't understand is why the css style information is contain in the page and not called from a file but that could have to do with vBulletin doing that in their coding.
Re: login page disappears
Hi crotograph,
1st - welcome to PR!
2nd - I answered the login issue below, but I'm not experiencing the content-dropping issue. Right now I'm using Windows XP Home Edition with Firefox 1.0.7 I have seen that happen with Firefox and other websites, but never here. By general pages do you mean the Reviews, Shop, Share, Learn tabs?

Re: login page disappears
Exactly....it's not the login page that's failing - it's the redirect AFTER the login, which is what I posted. The actual login happens right off the main forums page (index.php) - it's processed by login.php, but it happens before it's rendered. Tthe info is passed to login.php, authenticated server side (which is why the html doesn't matter and the login works), the cookie is stored and then login.php spits out it's own html, which Mozilla can't process to get back.
If you're seeing CSS you're not looking at the same page I'm looking at - it's also not happeneing intermittently to me at all - I can consistently reproduce it and no other pages are failing for me.

Re: login page disappears
K, thanks everyone. Let's see if John or the engineers have a fix for this.
Re: login page disappears
Uhg ... I thought I fixed this a couple weeks ago. We had originally wanted to write a cookie to both the pcphotoreview and photographyreview domains so that you could write a review for either site with just one login. The only way to do this was with a complicated redirect using a form. (really ugly code.) This was a dumb idea to begin with and I pulled that code.
But, looks like the bad code came back to life on our staging server. Anyway, just moved the good code out ... it should be fixed.
