Haven't checked my PMs for a while. I (if the subject actually reflected the content) received a similar spam message, but from a different user. There are quite a few bogus users registered these days. (It's been that way for a while, but I thought they were just inactive users and couldn't do anything).

Yeah, Duncan, just delete all of your cookies. (Or give them to me; I'm hungry. )

Yes deleting cookies "fixes" it... until I have to do it again. Which isnt usually a problem, but perhaps I can actually tell what the problem is.

EDIT: Now I can't make it fail... After several minutes of wasted time (Now I need to do something productive)

Aha! I found the problem with the forums. Somehow the session id is not getting put on the links of a page when it is visited, and then vb thinks you're not logged in. It seems intermittent though.
Also, vbulletin must be checking if the client as ANY vbulletin cookies because it refused to log me in until I deleted the only cookie from westsideyouth. (And it appears now that I'm logged in there are no cookies, so it must only be using the url session id).

Oh well... I feel better now that I've gotten closer.

Now this thread is quite off topic...

--Duncan Macklin;

EDIT: Perhaps I can block cookies from westsideyouth [I know this could have been another reply, I just don't like inflating my post count ]

There must be quite a lot of bogus users b/c there are more than eleven thousand users registered.

So far blocking cookies from westside has fixed the log in issue, and I haven't noticed any side effects.

Yeah, I'd say only about 200 of those are actual members. That number might even be high.
