folding at home forum

[wpshooter]

I have been trying to get to the folding at home forums for about the last 3 days and when I click on the link I just get a blank page.

I can get to their main page and other stuff seems to work but not the forum link.

Are they still alive and kicking ?

Thanks.

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, do not try and login at present.

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.../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.
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 for the reply but are you sure that is the name of the cookie ? I do not see anything like that.

I am using Firefox on Ubuntu/Edgy.

Thanks.

That was a copy and paste from the link that I posted. Try this:

Tools > Clear Private Data > Cache & Cookies > Clear Private Data Now

Thanks, that did it.

I just wanted to make sure that I did not get rid of something that I needed.

I am having the problem with the Folding-at-home forum site again.

I tried the clearing of the Cache & Cookies BUT this time it did not fix the problem.

Are they still having problem with their forum system ?

Thanks.
