I didn't know where to put it, so I decided this would be the best place:

A friend of mine was 'logged' out for a while and we couldn't find out, where the problem was. She always got an error message when she tried to post something. She could look at the preview in anonymus mode, but after she klicked submit, there was an error. She couldn't register too.

Soon we found out, that the problem was because of the 'Norton Firewall' she had to install because the Computer was used for the company an she couldn't switch it off just because she wanted to post something.

So here is the Question and the Answer too:

Q: What can I do when people who have a Norton firewall running moan, that they can't log in oir register?

A: Check, if the register URL and the Post URL start with a www. at the Beginning of an URL. (Example:http://stargatenews.de wouldn'Ät work, but since I changed it intohttp://www.stargatenews.de everything is fine and people using Norton Firewall can register and post withot problems.


Maybe somebody needs this information.

Did you do a search for this info? It's in the wiki, and many times in the forums too (do a search for firewall)...

But thanks all the same tho Your addition is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I needed it and I even didn't do a search, sorry... ...

So, oki, I'll change my url to www

Turn off privacy control :) And works perfectly :)

Norton causes trouble if you don't use www? Now I've heard everything. Let me mark down another reason to not use Windows, or IE if I'm ever forced to use wind.
