We had issues with out weebly site and not being able to edit it via our hosting site.  They were in the midst of updating their Weebly Cloud syncing, and that was causing the issues.  Logging on to our forum worked fine.  Once they finished what they needed to do, our problems with our forums began. 

The problem is:
As soon as a registered user logs out and tries to log back on, they cannot.  they receive no error message, do not hit the max attempts to log in.  They stay on the guest page: http://knightblades.net/l1v1ng1nmym0m5b8.../index.php

There is a work around, we have found:


I have found out a way to log in if you do happen to log out. click on any member's profile to try and view it. It will request that you log in. Put in your username and password and you'll be all set but for right now the regular way of logging in is broken.

But this is not ideal .

  • URL to your forum/URL to specific problematic page
http://knightblades.net/l1v1ng1nmym0m5b8.../index.php
  • New installation or upgrade (from which version of MyBB)?
Currently have 1.8.7 installed (will updating to 1.8.13 fix this?)
updated to 1.8.14. Still having same issues. We also changed the cookies to the suggested settings. This did not help either. Help.
Looks like it's the modals issue with global.css. The login window is actually at the bottom of the page. Should be fixable if you go into your ACP, and follow this.
Check you Forum url is link, https or http . Its not issues and check cookie path

thank you.  I just noticed the location on the login window.  Followed your directions, they fixed it.
When I try to log into my forum directly, I am unable to so, as described above: (LOG IN METHOD 1)

But there is a work around, we have found:  (LOG IN METHOD 2)

I have found out a way to log in if you do happen to log out. click on any member's profile to try and view it. It will request that you log in. Put in your username and password and you'll be all set but for right now the regular way of logging in is broken.

-------------------------------------
I have used the Inspect Element on both LOG IN METHODS.  Here are the results:

Coding for METHOD 2, that works:

Username field that works:
  • <td class="trow1">
  • <input class="textbox" name="username" tabindex="1" type="text">
  • </td>
Password field that works:
  • <td class="trow2">
  • <input class="textbox" name="password" tabindex="2" type="password">
  • </td>
the coding seems straight forward and makes sense.

Coding for METHOD 1, that doesn't work
 
Inspect the element on the username field that DOESN’T work:
  • <td class="trow1">
  • <input id="quick_login_username"  class="textbox initial_focus"   name="quick_username" value="" type="text">
  • </td>
Inspect the element on the password field that DOESN’T work:
  • <td class="trow2">
  • <input id="quick_login_password” class="textbox" name="quick_password" value="" type="password">
  • <a class="lost_password" href="http://www.knightblades.net/l1v1ng1nmym0m5b8s3m3nt/member.php?action=lostpw">Lost Password? </a>
  • </td>
----------------------------------------------------------
Immediately I noticed that in the code that isn't working that the value fields are set to "" .  Am I right to assume that this is why nothing is tripping the error counting for incorrect entries?  No values are being stored for the username nor the password. 

I also noticed that class="textbox initial_focus" is missing an underscore.  Should it be class="textbox_initial_focus" ?  Or does that omission make any difference? 

I also notice that the username and password coding of the fields that don't work don't match up/correspond like the code of the fields that do.  The Input ID of both seem to match.  Name seems to match.  Should "Class" in both of these be just read "textbox"? (and the " initial_focus" popped in there somehow?)



------------------------------------------               ----------------------------
Any help in this would be great.  You all have helped me so much already.  I guess when I updated, the coding on this glitched maybe?  The next step will be to figure out how to go in and recode the "quick" username and password.  But for now, does it seem I am on the right track, and at least making sense?

thank you again for any help.
does this login form work fine ?

if your forum is upgraded to MyBB 1.8.14 then templates also need code modifications.

basically javascript version related codes need changes.

upgrading guidance Wrote:Visit your Admin Control Panel, then go to Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates.
This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade.

You can either revert these templates to their default - meaning all the changes you've made to it will be removed
- or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what's changed. If you have a custom theme installed,
it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need.
