PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.2 bug reports → Login on Internet Explorer does not work...
I and my friends seems to have problems to login on Internet Explorer to PunBB, it does not login at all. You try to login, it takes you back to loginpage. All cookies settings are fine. The problem/bug is only found on this forum. I hope you get the problem fixed.
Anyway, PunBB is perfect forum. 
From the FAQ for 1.1.3:
2.4. People using Internet Explorer 6 are unable to login. Why?
The problem is related to how Internet Explorer 6 handles third party cookies. A first party cookie is a cookie that originates from the host domain, whereas a third party cookie originates from another domain. The problem arises when a website utilizes some form of domain redirect or frame-based redirect service. I.e. a service that redirects the user to the real location instead of pointing directly at it. The only viable solution to the problem is to not use such a domain redirect service and use a "real" domain instead.
More information on the subject can be found in the following article on MSDN, Privacy in Internet Explorer 6.
I see... Well, thank you! I recommend my friends to download Mozilla or something. Its a better browser
I actually think it's Internet Explorer that is doing it right this time. Cookies from what appears to be third party sources shouldn't be accepted by default. I'd recommend moving away from any form of "domain redirect" and setting up a proper domain instead.
well...
i don't use redirection and i don't useframes.
i've deleted all my cookies of IE and set on "always authorise" on my domain
and... i can't login under IE6...

Could you post a link to your forums so we can check it out ourselves?

well, I correct the code and now i can login under IE and firefox...
in login.php
(near line 74) FIND
setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array($db_username, $form_password_hash)), $expire, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure);REPLACE BY
if(!setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array($db_username, $form_password_hash)), $expire, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure))
setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array($db_username, $form_password_hash)), 600);thanks a lot for your help 
Then the problem is your cookie domain in config.php.

you probably have a space or something in your config.php file before the "<?php" tag

Was looking for these lines of code in PunBB's login.php file, (I just downloaded version 1.2.10 btw) and i cant seem to find them. Is this located in a different file? I still have the same problem of not being able to Login using IE6SP1. I CAN login with FireFox. Ive already made the recommended mod in the FAQ's for this issue, still doesnt work.
thanks in advanced!
