Site related problems with Mac OS X

[CZandbergen]

Just got a new MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and I am having a strange issue with the site and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it. When I visit the home page and login, it forwards me to the screen that thanks me for logging in then returns me to the home page but I am not logged in. That said, if I click on a link to the forums I am logged in and it works fine. If I go back to the home page I am still apparently not showing up as logged in. I have the same problem with Safari, Chrome, and FireFox. I have checked all the cookie settings I could think of and searched here and on google but haven't found an answer just yet.

Anyone else notice this? Any idea how I might fix it? For the record I am on OS X 10.6.2.

Thanks,

Casey

I've experienced a login issue where I can never log into http://stormtrack.org, but remain a guest after entering my credentials. if I add the "www", for http://www.stormtrack.org, then it works. I'm not sure if you are experiencing a similar problem, but I'm also not on the Mac platform either.

That happens to me too. I don't understand why that is a problem. Why do you need to be logged in on that page?

BTW, I'm using a mac too on safari.

If you are not logged into that page several options are not available on the menu including search. The Bar & Grill recent posts do not show up. You do not get a notifier that you have a new PM. But Skip's answer fixed it for me, the 'www' before 'stormtrack.org' in the URL fixed it for me.

OK. I see now. I usually ignore that page and go straight to forums. But it's good to know that information. Thanks!

For Mac OS X users ... sometimes cleaning out your Safari cache (go to Safari menu, Safari -> Empty Cache) will solve browsing problems. Also, Finder menu -> Go -> Utilities -> Disk Utility -> Repair Disk Permissions can solve quite a few major OS X problems. You may have to use the original OS install disk to be able to carry out "Repair Disk Permissions", however, which is more "vigorous" than the old "Rebuild Desktop" under OS 9 and older versions of the Mac OS previous to OS X.
