Not Able to Login with Internet Explorer

Clear your cache in IE. I've encountered this problem with other sites. I think I remember that clearing the cache fixed it. Managed to get in with my IE :-)

EDIT: How the h3ll do I log out?!?

ok i tried to clear out my cache files, and i tried it on both my laptops, and two of my computers. i also had a friend in seattle try it and a guy in the next town try it. all with the same reasults. everytime you try to login it will just take you back to the login screen and you have no access to any of the things that you need to be logged in for, but if you look at the currently online block you will see that there is an additional guest online, and if you try it again and it add another guest online. but the logs will say that you did login each time. its weird, also if i click on any of the tabs or navigations the guest count also goes up

OK I've played about a bit more and there's something more wrong than I thought. I logged in in FF and I see that it is completely different to when I tried logging in under IE. I don't know how to fix this but here's a summary as I see it for anyone else that might be able to help.

In IE you can log in, your username appears under the online user list. The nav/drupal block does not reflect that you're logged in properly - hence the lack of a logout button. You also cannot create content which suggests that even though you are listed as being online, Drupal doesn't consider you to be logged in. In addition, the language module does not get correctly initialised. IE - site is totally in English, FF - site is a mix of English and another language I'm not familiar enough with to classify.

I'm stuck - anyone else able to help?

I'm finding that I'm unable to login to my site using IE. I usually use FF and have had no problems - tonight I've been trying it out with IE and find that when I enter my username and password and click 'Log in' I just get the Login form again.

I've tried clearing IE history and temporary internet files but it hasn't fixed the problem.

Do you have any other suggestions of things for me to try?

Thanks,

Hannah

OK - I think I've managed to replicate this problem. I think it's to do with cookies after all. I've just disabled IE from saving cookies and now my site is behaving the same way. I try and log in, I get back the login block and the number of guests increases while my username appears under the login list.

If I re-allow IE to save cookies then it works fine. Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > PRIVACY

My slider is set to default medium and it works with that. I'm sure if you play with the setting you can find a privacy setting that you're happy with and will still let you in the site.

this must be a sign from m$ to tell us we should not use ie anymore!

personally i use opera and more people should do! its great

Hello, any update on this problem? It's happening to me in different Drupal sites (including www.drupal.org) when using Internet Explorer 5 on Win XP SP2, it happens using different themes.

But I'm not sure if it's just my IE 5 version, I'm running the version from http://www.skyzyx.com/archives/000094.php , this one allows you having it running together with other versions of IE.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!
