    Hello,

    For some odd reason, on version 3.0.0b8, when I login, it memorizes the username and password(I disabled this option in my browser) and I can't change them because the edit boxes are greyed out. I checked the config.inc.php file and found nothing regarding this. Any ideas?

      THe reason why they are greyed out is that you have checked the "remember me" box under the login fileds.

      Delete your cookies, and try again, without checking this box. :)

      I did that, but I stillhave the problem. When I removed the cookies, I could login again, so I did and I didn't check the store account data checkbox on the login page. When I logout of the chat (Exit chat) and I want to re-login, I can't change the user and password, they are still greyed out! I still have the sme problem. Any ideas?

      Pandur2000 is right. You need to clkose all IE browsers, right-click the blue "e" ison for Internet Explorer and go to Properties. Delete cookies and delete files.

      A Cookie is dropped on your system each time you login even if you don't check the box. The Cookies can be persistent if you keep the Browser window open.

      I had the same issue. If you don't want to use cookies, edit your config.inc.php file. That worked for me...

      this is correct, the system has what is for ma pretty kludgy way of 'remembering' people, suggesting a name is fine, but locking one out from specifying another login for an entire session (session should be until all browser windows are closed) is pretty unfriendly.

      I plan on fixing that code as soon as I learn this product well enough.  So far the install is is only partially cool so Im not decided if I like this product yet., but I don't give up easy.

      By the way the session cookie is drop regardles of how the box is checked.  What on earth would checking the box do?
