Having trouble logging into 2019 Registration

Hi, I’m a new participant, having registered several years ago I’ve only just come back to webdip to register for the tournament. I wanted to update my tournament registration info (typo in my username) but for some reason when I try and post a reply, I get re-routed to the site login page and am not able to login. When I close my browser and login on the main page it works normally...??? Can anyone help me out, much appreciated.

The link at the top of the page is at www.webdiplomacy.net, you are probably logged in through another virtual directory such as http://webdiplomacy.net or https://www.webdiplomacy.net or https://webdiplomacy.net. All of these are the same site but different virtual directory's/ways to get to it. Logging into 1 does not log into the others.

You can either log into the www.webdiplomacy.net directory or you can change the url when you click it to add https or remove the www to match whatever url you normally use.

Perhaps we should train admins to set relative urls in their banners, (if it's even possible) until the underlying redirect problem is fixed?

The issue is the banner displays on the old pages which have a relative path of webdiplomacy.net/ and on the forum pages which have a relative path of contrib/phpBB3/ so any relative path would break on one or the other. I'll give a search a whirl later to see if there's any way to just strip the base out and use that.

edit: jk adding a / before the relative url makes it root relative. Shows how often I play around with the subtleties of html.

But we already knew that. ;)
