Hi...

I'm running vb3.rc3, i backed up my files and sql database, and installed them successfully on my local machine (xp-pro) for testing...

I can login to the forums ok, but the control panal is a no-no! i get the typical 'thankyou' msg then i get bumped back to the login screen again

i've tried both fixes, and the ?t=0 thing, nothing, my cookie prefixes are blank so is the domain, i removed them thinking i wouldnt need them being local

I'm using IE6 and Mozilla 1.5, i've cleared cookies and now i'm stuck

what to do? thanx for your help

To Q8vbhacks: I have the same problem and I've tried to edit source file to skip the failed quota check and it.... works
You can try my way but I'm not sure it will work for your board (at least it works for mine). Please backup original file before editing
Open /includes/functions_login.php
Find

$strikes_user['strikes'] = 1;
} 

Remove these lines below that one

if ($strikes['strikes'] >= 5 AND $strikes['lasttime'] > TIMENOW - 900)
{ //they've got it wrong 5 times or greater for any username at the moment
if (($strikes_user['strikes'] % 5 == 0) AND $user = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, username, email, languageid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username = '" . addslashes($username) . "' AND usergroupid <> 3"))
{ // they've got it wrong 5 times for this user lets email them
$ip = IPADDRESS;
eval(fetch_email_phrases('accountlocked', $user['languageid']));
vbmail($user['email'], $subject, $message, true);
}
// the user is still not giving up so lets keep increasing this marker
exec_strike_user($username);
if ($strikes['strikes'] > 5)
{ // a bit sneaky but at least it makes the error message look right
$strikes['strikes'] = 5;
}
eval(print_standard_error('error_strikes'));
}
return $strikes['strikes']; 

Hope it works for you

[Q8vbhacks]

10000000 thanks to ZeroZone yeeeeeeees now is wonderfuuuuuuuul Gr8 Man

[ZeroZone]

Glad it works for you but please keep in mind that it completely skips the failed login quota check, therefore someone can bruteforce an account of your board

The login fix worked this time, for some reason in mozilla i'd click the attachment link and the file would be empty, a simple 'save link target as' and it was there, run it...bingo, sorted.

cheers
