Mac Safari and Forums Login Problems
Postby AUbicycles » Sun Jan 11, 2009 7:08 am
I know about this issue however can't predict when it will be solved - either a browser update by apple or a fix in the forum software. For now I suggest Firefox browser - its a pretty good browser.

I can log in with the latest Safari on Intel Mac, but the site just can't remember me and keep me logged in for the next visit.BogusJimmy wrote:+1 for can't login with Safari, so I use Firefox when I need to post.

Try these and see if it makes a difference.moosterbounce wrote:I can't even log in with Safari and need to (please don't hate me for saying this ) boot to XP!! You'll notice my post count drop...
- Clear cookies.
- Repair Keychain (Performed through Keychain Access in your Utilities folder).
- Accept cookies only for sites you navigate to.
No guarantee any of it will work but it may shake out a few skeleton somewhere.
Also worth looking into 1Password as it makes logging in so much easier.

1 clear all cookies,
2 clear your cache/temp internet files
3 close the browser
4 try accessing bicycles.net.au and logging in again.
Background
Safari was having a problem handling cookies - with the first reports of issues I updated the cookie settings for the forum - the safari browser didn't like it and gave up. To solve it you need to clear the cookies ... in theory only the bicycles.net.au cookies, though a clean start will also mean that for any other forums you use, the issues should be solved. (The forum owners however may have to update their cookie settings).
So it all works, I have tested it... but... back to Firefox for me anyway
Cheers
Christopher

Just emptied the cookies again, cleared the cache and looks like it's good to go.

Given past SW update cycles, I suspect a solution would come through with the next security update which tends to come out every month or two. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, 1Password is a wonderful utility for storing PWs and logging into web sites.

damn. Did a quick followup -seems that Safari is playing up. Here is athread on another forum that deals with the same issue. No solution yet though.
I think we will just have to wait until a solution becomes available in safari for this one. Did I mention how well Firefox works for me

Anyway, I think the next security or 10.5.x update will resolve the problem.
