To those having problems with this forum using Internet Explorer especially logging in problems, these are a few tips for you guys, courtesy of Proboard's Help Forum:
Q: I login fine, but when I click a link it logs me out!
A: Your browser is not accepting cookies properly. First check to make sure you have cookies enabled. Also, in Internet Explorer 6 you need to make sure that you have 3rd Party Cookies enabled.
Your members need to enable cookies, tell them to do the following:
* Click on tools on the menubar on your browser
* Click on Internet Options on the drop menu
* On the window that pops up, click on the privacy tab
* Put the arrow and track so that the arrow is on low
* Click ok
This will enable third party cookies:
* Click on tools on the menubar on your browser
* Click on Internet Options on the drop menu
* On the window that pops up, click on the security tab
* Click on the custom button
* On the little window that pops up, scroll down to where it says cookies, and make sure the radio button is in the enabled position
* Click save
In Firefox:
tools >> options >> privacy >>
look for the 'cookies' section. Make sure it has 'accept all' ticked, and then click on 'exceptions' and make sure your proboard url isn't in there.
Hint from Ryan: If the above didn't work try selecting "forever" when you attempt to log in.
