New cookie settings - please reset

Post by gapan »

Hi all,

I changed the board cookie settings today. As a result you might not be able to log in and get a weird message that "The submitted form was invalid", or something like that.

In order to go through, you might need to delete the browser cookies for the forum and then log in. In Firefox you can do that by hitting the lock icon in the address bar and then selecting to delete the cookies.

Previously we were setting the board cookies for all subdomains of salixos.org, which was not optimal. Theoretically, if a subdomain was hosted somewhere else, the host could reuse the cookies. Now we're setting the board cookies for forum.salixos.org only.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

And now I've changed the cookie settings again, changing the cookie name this time. This should fix the "The submitted form was invalid" error that I mentioned in the previous post and you won't have to delete any cookies manually. You will still need to log in again, but that's it. I should have changed the cookie name along with the domain settings. :oops:
