My problem started tonight and as I'm a member of myBB Community Forums thought to check in and see whether there are others experiencing the same problem and was totally bowled over to find a 44-page thread on the problem. Surely myBB could have found a way to solve this by now?

My problem was/maybe still is the same as others. I log successfully into my Admin Panel and then when I click on the function panels I'm prompted for my log-in and password again, and when I provide those, it just goes blank.

Anyway, long story short. I was completely discouraged when I saw all of the detailed suggestions and instructions one has to work through, and then thought to do the easiest of them all. Go into my Mozilla Firefox tools and delete all of my cookies. It's probably going to revisit me again, but at least there is a short-term fix as it worked instantly for me. I'm going to try that for at least a while before I work on the geek-type solutions.

I'm just completely intrigued however. Why has the myBB developing team not come up with a permanent solution yet? First of all, I get it, you're doing it as a great service to us and I'm most grateful for the hard work as the end-product is excellent, but there seems to be a 44-page reason for sorting the admin log-out problem out without having to go through all of these cookie hoops?

The problem is user error. People change settings that they shouldn't. MyBB can't stop user error.

I'd be curious to know what user error you have in mind. What possible errors can one make when one logs into the admin panel? You type in your name - admin - and your password. You are then in the admin panel. You then click on one of the tabs, such as configuration. And it then comes up with a log-in dialog screen again. You fill in admin and password again and the dialog screen just goes blank when you submit the information.

I can't even think of any errors one can make as an admin in myBB. I'd say it is pretty admin error proof. In my experience any way.

kindly Suggest.
Hey. So, in the cookies I had .www.mysite.com and I changed it to .mysite.com in the settings.php and in the Admin CP, because I had users reporting problems logging in when they visited my site without putting www in the url. Now, for example, I can't logout (neither the other members), don't know why. I already deleted the cache and cookies of my browser.

Any suggestion?
They probably still have the cookie from .www.mysite.com in their browser.

Unsure of the best way to solve ATM, lemme think about it for a little bit.
