A low priority defect - Launching the Torque SDK forums

by Ken Knudsen · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/01/2009 (12:08 pm) · 4 replies

Alright, so this isn't ground breaking, I'm new after all...After the install, torque has it's launch items inserted into the "programs-Torque 3D 2009 Beta 1" section. If you follow the link "Torque SDK Forums (online)" and you are not logged in, you get an error about it being a secure forum. The links on the page are dead. If you select Login, enter your information, it'll return to that error page, it still won't recognize you as being logged in even though it now says 'welcome XXX ' at the top. From here, if you select 'forums' and the private forum, all works accordingly. A small thing, but I'll try to contribute where I can to the beta testing given I'm learning all this stuff from scratch.

What's your default browser? I just tried that link, I use Google Chrome, and it opened up fine for me.

duu. forgot the browser I'm using..

IE 7
version 7.0.6001.18000

Make sure you aren't remembered as being logged in either. Log out of GG, close the browser and then launch from the menu. Could be an IE thing, I don't have other browsers to test with.

... ah, but of course It remembers me as logged in ;)

It's true that once you are logged in that it doesn't redirect to the private forums, that indeed is a website bug.

But it is to be expected that the link would show you the "Access Restricted" page since these are Private Forums, I don't think Torque 3d has a Public forum yet.
