having trouble tracking an error

Post by m3rajk »

i've been trying to find the common threads between users to figure out what's going wrong, but the only thing that seems to be common is that cookies WERE working when they signed up, but that the two it doesn't work on signed up AFTER a db error and BEFORE i fixed it. could this somehow be realted to that? (it seems like that's be far fetched, but so far i haven't found anything else that would have any explanation aside from coookies getting turned off, but i've been given screen shots that show that is NOT the case)

the following is a chart i made from asking some people to do some things that require being signed in.

keep in mind that the usernames "silverflame" and "xinsanityx" signed up AFTER the db issue and BEFORE the fix. also the db issue was that the user who signed up before them had a computer failuer so i removed her initial sign up, but that she got that uid in the db for some reason and i had to fix that. i don't see how or why it would have affected anyone else.

gamma105 yes yes yes yes yes yes working again (10/24/2003) after isp noted an issue they had was fixed (issue was on 10/22/2003)
cm4blynmb yes yes --- --- --- --- connection timeout issue with ie (5.5?) on mac (os 9?) when trying to access control panels after login (partially done) (issues on 10/22/2003 gamma105 and myself were defintiely on. not sure about others. could be comcast talking to verizon)
Jersey_Girl17 yes yes yes yes yes yes
Evanescence yes? yes? yes? --- --- yes? might have been before chesire_cat joined
skool4zeros --- --- --- --- --- ---
LadyAndrea yes yes yes yes ??? ??? never finished
hello yes yes yes yes yes yes
JAM --- --- --- --- --- --- can't rmemeber login info;requested deletion
Neo yes yes yes yes yes yes
15 lines, 14 members, one twice because there was an isp issue. i think he was timing out due to whatever was causing cm4blynmb to have an issue. JAM asked to be deleted, and since there's an issue with mail servers not liking the emails i'm sending and killing it as spam...welll, i've offered to hand change everyone's pw right now. as you can see the only ones with login issues are xinsanityx and silverflame, well... not sure about xinsanityx anymore, but prior to chesire_cat's joining she was reporting the same as silverflame: get the logged in navigation bar and errors that they are logged out for each of those. when i finally was given a screenshot by silverflame (after chesire_cat joined) i realized that (at least then) the navigation bar was reverting back after she left the login page

a result of the fact there's only two with the error so far and the lack of knowledged of the conditions leaves me at a loss as to how to hunt down the problem. any advice in doing that would be greatly appreciated
