If you are having trouble staying logged in to the forum, due to the recent server problems we are now using the www.clstunt comain for cookies. The simple fix for the moment is to use the following link for coming to the lobby of the forum:

(Some editing here in light of Bob's comments) Except for a trailing "?az=lobby" part, that looks the same to me as I've been using myself for quite a good while.

I remember after changing servers, or in the process of changing, you commented several times then about the link, but I'd already made my own change before that "nagging" about a proper URL started, NOPE -- it would seem now that I left my own bookmark alone because it WAS working the old way? I'll bet that's it.

Almost the same thing is being used as a bookmark / "favorite" in IE (no trailing "?az=lobby"), however it is a fact that I had to make a relatively recent change in that one -- a couple of months ago I had some trouble and then made it match to Netscape's link information.

Len is right on this one, Kiwi. The cookie is based on the configuration file. There is a little history on this one.

When we went to the new provider, we had a problem when referencing www.clstunt.com in the config files. Anyone could edit or overwrite anyone else's messages. This was due to a problem with ... you got it, virtual domain setup. We could not get resolution on it from the site managers, so I experimented and came up with a work around and found that if I referenced just http://clstunt.com, all worked well. I left it at that, and this is what was in all of the cookies. As I recall, it caused a big of a cookie problem back then as well.

Fast forward to last week. Virtual domain setup on the hosting server collapsed after server software upgrade. I was trying to come up with fixes to keep the system up and running. One of the changes that I made to keep things going was changing back to http://www.clstunt.com in the config files. This worked, and it no longer appeared that anyone could overwrite anyone elses messages. So, I made the change. With everything else collapsing, I didn't give any thought to the cookie issue. When I read Len's post this morning, it hit me what had happened.

Mea Maxima Culpa.

At any rate, once we go to the new software, it will settle out once and for all <wishful thinking>. And yes, we will retain the message base and people's logins and passwords.

Gents,

I was (having trouble with staying logged on) so I have (changed my link).

"Cor, aren't I getting clever at all this "leading edge IT stuff?"! - nothing whatever to do with the quality of the instructions you provided Leonard

OK, this one's weird. I suddenly found myself unable to post. Kept kicking me out to the login page. The fix, I found, was to bring up the posting form, and then chopping "www" from the address and reloading. Then when the form comes up again, use the new form to post.

It kept kicking me back to the log in page too. I deleted the clstunt cookies and now it works.

Go to C/Windows/Cookies then find clstunt.com and www.clstunt.com. there's a millon cookies but, they're in alphabetical order. highlight and delete both. Then use the new link above and it should work like magic.

Thanks Leo.

And if you use XP, go to start/my computer/local disk (c)/Documents and Settings/(next folder with your name on it)/Cookies/(and once again find clstunt.com and www.clstunt.com.

And if you are using a Mac, uh, you are on your own.
