Admin/User theme won't change.

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2003 8:59 am

I've searched around Nukecops, but haven't found any answers. Chances are good it's my fault for tweeking the Your Account index.php.

Anyways, the problem is that I can't change themes anymore. When I try, it just takes me back to the Your Account Page, or back to the Preferences page. I thought it may have been caused by some simple mods I made to the YourAccount index.php file. (I added some <br><br> after the choose theme pulldown menu. And I rem'd out references to the Avatar selection, because it was causing problems.)

So, I restored the original file and I've still got the can't change theme problem.

I've no idea where to look in order to fix this theme thing. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

This doesn't seem to be a global problem after all. I'll try clearing my cookies...

yeppers... that worked.
why?

Nuke stores all of it's cookies in the same place/name. So, if you have had multiple sites with the same domain name running on the same box, the cookies get hosed. For example, I have clones of my site on my desktop. So, depending on the port I am using, my cookies can colide between my test and prod site because the cookie/domain name is the same. I can avoid that in forums because forums allow you to name your cookie. Hope this helps.
