After the updates, now I can't successfully log in using Netscape 4.78. It works to enter my username and pass and hit "login", but it says I'm logged out the next time I click on any link. Works fine using Internet Explorer 5, but I prefer using the other. Any idea what's going on?

EDIT: Wow, I just became elite!!! And it's only taken me 3 years (I don't post that much)

EDIT #2: Guess I should include the version number in the thread title.

EDIT #3 Hmm� last time I edited the subject to say "Problem logging in with Netscape 4.78" but I don't see any change. Yet it showed the newer one when I went to edit my post again.

I have the same problem, Patrick, using the same browser.

Same problem.

Netscape 4.78 on Solaris. Endless loop of logging in, getting Welcomed, then it forgets who I am.

a new feature of vB is that there is a time limit for thread title changing (currently set to 5 minutes).
as for the problems with NS 4.78, i'll pass that along.

Are you having this problem even after you check "Browse forums with cookies" in your User Options (Options is located in your User Center)?

Unfortunately one cannot even access User Options under Netscape 4.7.x. Once you login and attempt to access User Options from the User Center, you get logged out again. Cookies are definitely being used though, because it works fine in IE; I verified the option "Browse forums with cookies" is checked yes by browsing the options page with IE.

I was in contact with vB a while back inquiring about their product. Back then they did not and did not expect to ever support Netscape or Mozilla. If it works fine, if not... oh well.

They test on IE 3.0 - the latest for Windows. Nothing else is promised (back then).

No progress on this yet????

I even had trouble with Mozilla from home (tho Mozillaon Solaris at work seems to be fine)

Exactly the same problem here.. only I'm running Netscrape 6.2. I can log in.. but If i try to post a message, or alter any prefs etc.. It says I need to log in.. Even tho i just did! So now I have to bow to Microturds software and use IE just to use MacNN.
Thats lame..

(cross-posted; sorry)

I have the same problem on Windows NT 4 and Netscape 4.6 on my work machine. Makes participating in these fora damn near impossible.

And people just saying "Well, you have plenty of options", please shut up.

At work, I DON'T have an option. I'm stuck with what the Sysadmins deign to make the standard install.

No problem on my home machine (10.2/Omniweb 4.1.1SP1)

So I take it there's nothing that can be done?

Pity.

I was enjoying the fora. Unfortunately, I am unable to post for most of the time I spend in front of a computer.

Look forward to my continued relative absence from these boards.

Tada,

I can confirm as well that NS 4.78 does not remember/support logins, while MSIE 5.x, OW, and Netscape 7 work just fine.

Haven't tried logging in with NS 4.x on a PC yet...
