Just fyi... drupal IE "no login" bug has struck me on groups.drupal.org

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this [is "casetracker" a better place?]

First, thanks Moshe and everyone else for setting up this group site. It's frankly, amazing.

Just wanted to let you know that the infamous drupal login bug [where you can't login to a site when you're on IE] has struck me for groups.drupal.org.

http://drupal.org/node/83822
http://drupal.org/node/6696

Basically, when I submit my login in IE, it doesn't "take". It just returns me to the original page without being logged in. However, it works fine for me in Firefox.

I've had a couple of users say the same thing about the site that I host, personally. (www.ithou.org)... so this isn't so much a groups.drupal.org thing as it is (I think) a drupal thing. But... it's here. :-( At least for me.

If anyone wants me to do some testing just let me know.

Best to everyone,
Albert

(Saw some poor rendering of .CSS, much to my dismay) But my login worked fine.

Clearing cookies helps... but still need login 2x

Not exactly sure what happened, but I'm able to login now in IE7 and IE6 using the ajwwong@drupal.org user login.

The change might have had to do with something like clearing out my cookies.

However, it appears as if I have to login twice in order for the login to "take" after I delete the cookies...

Additionally, in case anyone is interested this was what the cookie looked like before I deleted it:

groups.drupal.org/
0
258101248

*

And this is what it looks like after my successful login [I actually tested it on IE6 and IE7 and it works for both, but this is the cookie for IE7]:

Thanks for everything...

Bizarre... Can't login to

Bizarre... Can't login to groups.drupal.org with IE7 anymore, though I am able to from IE6 and FF.

[Edit/ Update.] This may have to do with running both IE6/7 on the same machine using the "Multiple IEs" program. If I clear the cookies on IE6, then it appears that I can login to groups.drupal.org via IE7.

Thanks for everyone's hard work.

Best,
