Hi Folks ....

JoeTheTester has been busy trying to submit an article to the Evolt site.
But, he's having some problems.... Here's the message he keeps getting:

error   unauthorized access
  You are not authorized to edit the article selected.


Now, I'm wondering if there's a cookie or something already set on my
machine from being logged in as my own ID.  That might explain the problem.
??

Login as Joe, click Submit (either top or sidebar), and the error appears.


Both IE and NS are "passing" two different URL schemes,

http://www.evolt.org/article/index.html?action=submit&cfid=486712&cftoken=40
577226 (IE)
http://evolt.org/article/index.html?action=submit&cfid=378453&cftoken=397358
8 (NS)


I've tried to log in as JoeTheTester more than once .. and rebooted, to see
if it was a problem on my end.  No matter, JoeTheTester just can't seem to
submit a new article.  (No problems with my own ID though.)


If anyone wants to try to duplicate the scenario, login is Joethetester, pw
is michele


Now, I did another test, logged in as my own ID and I get the same URL
scheme as listed above.  Click on Submit and it works fine.  Then I was
checking to see if Joethetester exists within the drop down author menu..
and I can't find him in there.  So, ummm.. is that the problem?  And, if so,
why isn't Joethetester in there?  He exists as a user, when I do a search
for him.


*The confused one*
