Opera + changing personal details = extreme frustration

[imported_Phil]

So I figure it's about time I changed my email address to one that's actually working (cheers, Yahoo...), so I go ahead and make the changes in my profile. Click Update Profile, I get a message about that only being available to logged-in users.

Okay, so let's try logging in and doing it again. Nope, somehow my password's been reset. So, let's re-activate my Yahoo account (grr) and get the password mailed to me. Pop that password in, and we're back in business.

Right, time to change my password from gobbledegook back to what it was. Change password... Update Profile... oh, apparently I'm not logged in again. Re-request a new password, log in again. Try to change my email address, I'm forcefully logged out and my password's been reset again.

So, I try this whole mess under IE6. Nope, it logs me out and resets my goddamn password when I try to change my email address.

I had to empty my Temp Internet Files (which, believe me, are about 500k as I don't use IE6 any more), log back in and out several times and re-request passwords until I'm blue in the face, just to change my email address!

Please, someone explain what's wrong here...

NOTE: When you update your e-mail address, you will be logged out of the forums immediately, and a new login password will be sent to the new e-mail address.

Make sure you use a valid email address as defined by the FAQ.

I did. I got five mails to it with different passwords 🙁

What email address are you trying to switch to?

It's done now, but it's a Freeserve account. Everything's finally sorted, but it really got on my nerves that it kept logging me out for no reason, and didn't really do the same with IE6.

Gah, one of these days, Opera's page handling will be more IE-compatible (broken, if you will 😛)...

Dope, actually it isn't broken its Operas issue with coldfusion headers from what I've read. It's pretty simple stuff as far as forum code goes...

if IsDefined("cookie.loggin")
.......logged in
else
.........not logged in
end if
