I dont know if this is related or not but after changing the cookie domain to beta.florida4x4.com (was blank), I can't login as the admin user. It takes the password and then passes me to a secondary screen that requests a visual confirmation but the image is broken. I cleared my cookies and all that. [url=http]HERE[/url] is a screenshot...

As the warning says:

"Cookie settings
These details define how cookies are sent to your users' browsers. In most cases the default values for the cookie settings should be sufficient, but if you need to change them do so with care -- incorrect settings can prevent users from logging in"


Especially if you changed you cookie domain to a sub-domain that your board isnt on.

Since odds are that nobody has been able to login since this cookie change, if you have a backup of your database from just before you made the change, it might be a quick fix (if your database is not very large).

Or you would probably have to fix your cookie settings in your SQL.

Thanks guys. I'm just playing around with a fresh install of RC2 so it's no biggie. thought the missing confirmation code might be of interest to someone. perhaps it doesn't show up because of the cookie domain... ???
