What happened to HOT forums?

Postby mctrip7 » Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:52 am

At House of Tucker the message is that there are NO Forums. Did I miss something?

Nope, it's there. I just logged on.

I tried again. It accepts my 'log in'; but when it goes to the next page, it switches back to the 'log in' page. I don't understand. Nothing negative has ever been said about anything I've printed; so I don't believe that's the problem. I'm totally in the dark. Any suggestions?

Can you register as a new user and as a new user go in and explain your problem? Probably just a glitch.

Check any script/cookie setting that you may have and ensure that house of tucker is allowed. I know that can cause issues here, and our software is newer so I'd say its a safe bet to say that it would cause problems there.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I was able to log in following my last post; however, I tried again an hour ago and it seems to be in some kind of a loop. It logs me in and then returns to the log-in page and says to log in, even though it shows that I am logged in.

I don't know enough about what you are talking about to do anything. Should I try another browser like Explorer? I'm using AOL now.

I can get as far as "Trip" sometimes, but it always goes back to 'Log-in". I can't get to any of the Administrators to tell them about it. Help!

To be honest, Explorer is kinda sucky if your computer is having issues. Give Mozilla Firefox a go. It's free, and I'm told it's got leaner code than Explorer, so it's a bit more stable. If that clears things up, then you know it's some kind of setting in your browser. If it doesn't, then you know it's a good bet that it's something to do with the computer itself.

You're using AOL? I can't get on any message boards with AOL. The same things happens...log in over and over again. I have no issues with IE or Firefox.

Thanks again for the suggestions. How can I access mozilla firefox? Was the other one E1?

You can just google "Mozilla Firefox" and get there. It's a very easy download. I know because I downloaded it yesterday when I was trying to get onto our site (which alas did not work).

Come to think of it, at my own Star Wars forum, AOL users have trouble, too. I think your mystery's solved.
