Invalid Redirect URL?
 

Lately, whenever I login, there's a hang at URL [URL]http://mersenneforum.org/login.php?do=login[/URL]

with the vBulletin Message

"Invalid Redirect URL (http://mersenneforum.org/)"

If I delete the "login.php?do=login" from the end of the URL and continue, everything is fine.

What's going on?

(Windows XP SP2, Firefox 5.0)

Yeah, I get this also.

Just add the "www." prefix to your bookmark.

Try this link:
[url]http://nasa.gov/[/url]
vs.
[url]http://www.nasa.gov/[/url]

FWIW, I [I]always[/I] use the form [URL]http://mersenneforum.org/[/URL] -- I'm stubborn like that. :wink:

BTW, I just upgraded to Firefox v6 and noticed a change in the URL field -- it displays all URLs with the ... (I've forgotten the terminology) ... two basic fields (like "mersenne.org" or "nasa.gov") bolded:

"http://www.[B]mersenneforum.org[/B]/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=269255"

"http://www.[B]nasa.gov[/B]/"

"http://[B]mersennewiki.org[/B]/index.php/Main_Page"

... or at least that was my first impression -- now I see that what it [I]actually[/I] does is sorta gray-down all the rest -- unless you click on that field, whereupon it all changes back to the same normal blackness.
