When I login here, it affects the beta cookie and vice versa. There are cookies for both projects in the browser cookie file but they affect eachother.

I'm not sure if it's a browser issue (using Mozilla 1.7.5)

No problems with IE 6........;0)

So long Paul, it has been a hell of a ride.

Park your ego's, fire up the computers, Science YES, Credits No.

Same happens with my IE 6.0

- I'm logged in @ SETI (official) through the cookie

- I open the SETI Beta home.php and login there (with cookie enabled)

- I click "reload" in the official SETI home.php and it requests the key again, the cookie doesn't work anymore.

So it isn't a browser issue but the cookies somehow get confused by the login scripts.

The problem is reproduceable.

I guess I know why it doesn't happen to everyone :

It happens with this URL : http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/home.php

It doesn't happen with this one : http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/home.php

I verified this and it is a good workarround : Switching the bookmarks for the official home.php to setiathome while using setiweb for the beta fixes the problem in both browsers.

That's what I ended up doing.

It stell asks the login ID on beta now and then, so something still seems to be wrong with the cookie. It doesn't affect the non-beta oneanymore though.

@Heffed : you're one of those who are affected by this (unconfirmed) bug :

do you happen to know what you did to make your profile disappear but still have the profile flag in the database?

Reason seems to be the sibdirectory.

The cookie is set to /beta but the login requests the cookie for /


I added the cookie for / to Mozilla and since then it didn't prompt for the ID input anymore.

The profile was transferred from my classic account. I felt the profile was no longer relevent, so I deleted it when I started BOINC beta. It successfully deleted the information, but still seems to think I have a profile. I figured it was just a beta glitch and thought it would get straightened out eventually, but it's been about two years now. ;)
