sorry if this isnt the best forum to ask in. i saw V6 and jumped

anyway, im having extreme difficulty entering my own boards. i upgraded from a clean 5.47b to v6, b7 last night.

everything seems to work perfectly fine, registering, posting, replying, profile checks, etc, etc.... the only glitch is, i can't log in! it sounds like a small problem, but, it IS pretty annoying, as, it prevents all my users from using their own accounts.

anyway, even the login page loads up fine. and, all the text links on that page also work flawlessly.

my problem comes in when you click "login now" (the gray pressable button). the link somehow gets screwed up, and, my boards look for "http://www.robkamphausen.com/ultimatebb.cgi" instead of "http://www.robkamphausen.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi" (it leaves out the necessary "cgi-bin/" part of the code)

like i said above, tho, even the text links work fine (with the "cgi-bin/" part). but, when you click on the login button, you get an error message, cuz its not looking in the right spot.

any idea how to fix this? or even how to fudge it, just so my loyal following can continue their following?

(and btw... im TOTALLY digging the new "threads" on yer site, here. very sweet color patterns. they give the boards a frighteningly "professional" look ! congrats!!)

I think this *MIGHT* be a bug.... Welcome to beta software land.

Does this occur with the login link everywhere, or just the one in the header?

heya charles (and congrats on the moderator bit!)

the problem i get is just with the button. all the "login" text links work fine... but, all the text links do is take you to the main login page... and the only way to pass thru that is to click on the gray button (and thus, my circular problem repeats :))

can't figure out what the problem is. but, im hopin someone could help me at least mess with it enuf, chuck some extra code in there, to get it workin for now.

Can you post the exact URL to any of the pages with this error? I did notice something but it was different than what you're describing.

wuhoo!!!!

problem solved! this was drivin me nuts! michael F helped me (from infopop). he noticed i had a base href code in my header, and thats what was screwin with me. i forgot all about it!

so, i had to go in, and place in all the href code in my header links, but, once i removed the code from the header, the rest of the page kicked in.

anywhoo, thanks for your help anyway, charles! im sure ill be callin on your moderation again
