Different browsers = different Discussion Boards
Experiencing a number of problems in our 'Discussion Board', which was set up recently.

forum for: cumcwestcliffe

* I set up 3 categories and a number of forums under each category just a day, or two, ago
- when I go to the discussion group using Firefox it brings up the categories and forums I set up, but when I use Internet Explorer it brings up a bunch of different ones. In both cases I'm clicking on the 'Discussion Board' button at the bottom of our Calendar on
www.cumcwestcliffe.org/Calendar.html

Also,

* When I use Internet Explorer and try to login to the Discussion Board (the wrong one, but under 'cumcwestcliffe' ) with my username and ID, I get:

The error messsage is:
java.lang.NullPointerException

* When I use Firefox and try to login using the same username and ID, there is no problem; in both cases I'm typing in the user and ID, so it is not loading stored information.

Other individuals who use Internet Explorer are getting the same results (i.e. it pulls up Categories and forums, that I did not set up).

Any ideas?

Re: Different browsers = different Discussion Boards
Visitors who go through the "front door"
http://localendar.com/forums/cumcwestcliffe

should see the correct forums. We're investigating an issue where localendar members are taken to a "scratch area" when they go from their localendar.com forums directly to their personal ones without signing out first (let me guess - they forums you saw were all in upper-case?)

I have not heard about the IE/Firefox issue though. Can you confirm for me that your users a) aren't localendar users themselves and b) are using the URL mentioned above?
