Can't access TDN

by Bruno Grieco · in Torque Game Engine · 11/05/2005 (6:23 am) · 11 replies

Guys, I'm having a problem acessing TDN page :

http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/DTS/3dsmax/Advanced_Materials

I had accessed this page before, but when I try to access it now, it keeps asking me to log in. I can see in the top of the screen that I'm properly loged in, but the page still doesn't load.

Could anyone give it a check ?

TIA

It still ask me to login every time I try to access. I login and it still asks me.

The same happens in IE and Safari.

Hum is the GG cookie passing login? Maybe you have a cookie issue. Try deleteing anything
for GG and TDN. Relog into GG then try TDN after clearing those cookies.

Lesson 4 works for me (I had to refresh once though), and I've had alsorts of problems with TDN. Its starting to look like its functional now.

Edit: I should add that I tried it on Opera 8.02, Firefox 1.07 and IE 6.0 - Windows XP

I also would like to note that sometimes I have trouble getting into TDN as well. I use Firefox primarily, so my way to fix it has been to switch to IE. Seems to work, though, only sometimes (IE is hit by this as well, sometimes)

It's some sort of intermittent bug in the login process. I will be debugging it soon, now that 1.4 is out.

I know this sounds strange, but I had exactly the same problem u have until I tried the login button on the extreme top right of the page, the one just too the left of the register. That works every time for me. The other login urls sometimes work, sometimes take me to GG, and sometimes just loopback to the TGN login screen.
Dunno, but give it a go.

Edit: I use Firefox 1.5 adn IE6+ and have had the problem (with same 'fix' working, on both.

A few times I've had the problem where clicking login sends me to the main GG page rather than tdn. Returning to TDN asks for a login, clicking login sends me to the main GG page... repeat :)

The same thing that happens to Gary happens to me on my main working system too. On my other system however it doesn't. Both IE, but one with the latest Service pack and one without - there could be a pointer in that, dunno, don't want to apply the SP to my working system, they tend to mess up more than they fix.
