Hi
I'm looking for some general hints on why this might be happening .
When logging in I am getting a 'Cookies must be enabled' - on the second (sometimes third) attempt in ie and ff I get in . Any ideas welcome.
The login is created in Joomla - i have a post in the forum here also.

Thanks in advance for any help

check the configuration of your browser that it should be able to accept/create cookies..
if you're using firefox 3 which I am right now.. i can see that on:
Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy Tab -> Cookies Section

That's odd. If cookies are enabled then either it's a bug in the browser or in the script.

Thanks for the reply.
it must be the script then as I have tested on many browsers and have a college test it also. However another friend on the otherside of the world tested it and it works. Which makes me think 'could it be something to do with the server clock' - might look into a test for this. it's on ver. Joomla! 1.0.15 so think an upgrade may be the best first port of call.

IIRC, Jooma! 1.5 is the latest version, so, that could explain the problem.
