    Hi,

    I'm hoping i can get some help here, this is puzzling me. For the past 24 hours or so i've not been able to log in to boards.ie on my iphone, which is running iOS 5.0.1. My account seems fine, i can log in to it ok on my windows machines, and when using the iPhone, boards is the only site that seems to be affected, all other password protected sites and forums are fine, passwords load automatically as usual.

    When i try to login to boards however, the password (which i've double and triple checked is correct) isn't accepted, and the password challenge form is thrown up again.

    Any idea what the issue might be? Why is my login being refused? I've tried to login several times in the past hour alone on the iphone, and no luck. I'm posting this from a windows machine with the same password, and am getting no problems at all.

    Dump the cache and cookies as a first step.

    Have done all that stuff, dumped cookies, cache, and history, killed the safari app, soft rebooted the phone, hard rebooted it, everything i can think of and still no good. The login page (just the one for boards.ie) just refreshes everytime i input my password.

    That's what has me stumped. I can't think of anything else on the client side that could be the matter, i'm wondering if it's something on boards's server causing the issue.

    If there are any admins reading this who could help me troublshoot i'd appreciate it.

    The tech staff would be best for this, I'll move it to site dev.

    I got this sorted. My browser had suddenly set itself to block all cookies. No need for any further follow up.

    Mods-please close thread. Thanks.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
