Wabiloo:
Hi,
I'm getting this (clearly standard) error on an SMF 1.1.9 forum I just inherited from a previous webmaster (who now left): "You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings. "

I have gone through these forums and tried what I could (deleting cookies, trying other browsers, changing the cookie duration, changing the cookie name)... nothing works!
I see a number of tips that require me to go to the Admin CP. Here is my problem: I can't login, even with the administration account!  So, how can I get to the admin CP in the first place???

K@:
Welcome to the wonderful world of weirdness, Wabiloo! ;)

That forum's pretty ancient, now.

I'm thinking that upgrading to the latest v1 version, 1.1.16, might be your best and easiest option, to be honest.

That might kill two birds with the one, proverbial, stone. ;)

Do yourself a HUGE favour, though, before you do that...



Read my sig. :)

Wabiloo:
Well, I did all that now:
- backed up everything
- upgrade to SMF 1.1.16

And guess what?  Still the same message... This is majorly irritating...

K@:
Well, to try and narrow things down, a bit, is it just you that's getting this? Or, are your members suffering from the same hassles?

Is there an account that we could have access to, to try and see if we can figure this one out?

(I realise that you can't create one, as you can't access Admin).

Could you, perhaps, PM me your own account details, so that I can try to log in and see what I get?

Probably best for you to read this, first:

After all, I could just be some twonk who goes around collecting admin accounts to go screw people's sites, for the fun of it. ;)

Wabiloo:
All users are getting the same problem, I've had confirmation of that.

I've sent you a PM with the website and account details
