Problems accessing GCA login with firefox
When we try to log onto the GCA website it wont allow us to whilst using firefox.
Verified everything but it just wont allow us in.
Latest version with all updates in use.
Cant even get the email password thing to work using firefox.

Fire Fox rules
If likes Firefox, it does seem to be friendlier and faster than ye olde IE. FF doesn't need a computer reset every couple of days to make it work again either
I tried to use the block cookies functionality of FF, but got fed up of having to enter individual websites as "allowed to swap cookies" everytime I went to a new webpage
So I just let it do whatever it wants and clear out the cookies once a week with my shredder programmes
On a Microsoft note though: If you set FF as your default browser, your automatic updates for MS stuff will not work unless you delve into the blocked sites menu in FireFox. Microsoft.com is automatically set as a blocked upload site in FireFox unless you change it !!
So if you use FF as default, you might want to do a manual check for MS updates occasionally, before your PC starts acting up
well at least that's how my 'puter works
MAC users please ignore everything I just said

Ok, Ive cleared everything from the firefox settings, now I can log into the forums but not the Geocaching Australia website.
When trying to log in on the GCA.com.au site I get:
Sorry, that username/password isn't on file OR your account has not been activated yet.
Forgotten your password?
Reset your password here

Hi All,
I had a similar problem when I first signed up and started caching. What the problem appeared to be for me was that I signed up @ the GC site. I did not know there was a GCA site.
I emailed the administrator and explained my predicament and somehow they managed to 'merge' my login so that it worked for both sites.
I am also using FF with no problems.
Maybe this is what you need to do?
Hope I've keyed this in ok as it's my first post to the forum.

Interestingly, you SHOULD be able to access the site, as the site uses the same authentication cookie to log you in.Donald, Daisy and Kids wrote:Ok, Ive cleared everything from the firefox settings, now I can log into the forums but not the Geocaching Australia website.

Can you please log in to the forums, then go to http://geocaching.com.au/my/ and tell me if it works.

I just tryed that but I still have to log in when I get there even though I'm already loged in here.Craigrat wrote:Can you please log in to the forums, then go to http://geocaching.com.au/my/ and tell me if it works.
I have no trouble loging in but it seems the GCA site login is unrelated to the forum login.
FF 2.0.0.16 here but I usualy use FF 1.5 something on another machine and no troubles there either.
