No web page after log on
I already have one new PC running RAH with no problems. While upgrading my GPU drivers for an old PC I came across FAH. So a couple of days ago I joined Folding @ Home and started setting up a log on and preferences in my profile and I must have done something wrong. The only preference I set was the Eastern Standard Time zone. I also checked remember me at the log on screen I get to the Home page but as soon as I go to a forum I get a blank web page so I can not get to leave a question there about this or change my preferences.

Please if any current or former FAH member can tell me where to email for help with this or where to forward this as an email to the proper person that can help fix my settings. It would be greatly appreciated. My FAH user name is jmarks also.

Thanks
Jmarks

Announcements It appears that the database driving the forum software is having a few problems with its tracking of sessions.

If you are currently browsing as a guest, be that as a new user, or a registered one, it is quite likely that you cannot login at present.

Before you login, please read the following so you can restore your ability to browse the forum if your login fails.

If you do try and login you will most likely be presented by a blank page, and any subsequent visits to pages on this forum will cause the same thing to happen.
If this happens to you, you need to delete the session_id cookie for forum.folding-community.org, the name of the cookie is phpbb2fah_sid, then restart your browser to make sure.

As long as you remain as a guest user, you will still be able to browse the forums, and you can track the progress of this problem in this thread: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=20820

Users who have set their profile to "Remember me" should not be affected by this problem and can post as normal.

Edit: It appears that the above statement is not entirely accurate. Many people have not been able to login even if they were set to have a permanent cookie, and others can login even if they don't have this setting enabled. So far there doesn't seem to be any discernible pattern to determine who can still login. However, if you can login once, you will probably still be able to do so with subsequent attempts.

For those who find they cannot login, there is a discussion going on here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18799237-forumfoldingcommunityorg in which several FCF mods are also taking part.

It might be useful if members who can see this post, repost it in their home forums, just to let people know whats going on.

Thanks I did read that post before I started up there. That is why I set my remember me at log on preference. I will try the other suggestions and see.
Thanks again

The Forum link shows the problem is still very much alive. I think this is a sign that FAH is not a responsible enough to earn my old GPU PCs time. I think I will rebuild my PC with a P35 mobo an efficient power supply and one of the new Intel 45n quads when they come out, and put it on RAH.
