    Just a question to see if you can clarify ...

    Hey Alex. Love the script, not particularly fond of Microsoft at the moment, though.

    Just wanted to ask these couple things.

    I have made the changes you provided here, and people with IE 6 can login again. However, it seems everyone is getting another pop-up box which is asking them to login again. The people we run these sites for are a little honked off about it, but understand this is something we are working to fix.

    Will our customers always have to enter their password and username twice (once in the login box from AMember, and then in the pop-up box) or did I do something wrong?

    If I didn't do anything wrong, is there an update coming, or available for this script, that uses a different login method (Microsoft says to use cookies) that will allow them to only use the login box?

    I hope these questiosn don't seem too dense. I told them the cost of the paid version of AMember and they said that if it fixes the problem, they'll buy. LOL.

    I appreciate all your hardwork, and hope that this whole mess doesn't drive you completely nuts.

    Roland, I will say again:

    I believe there is no understanding what the IE "fix" was. I will explain: it is now impossible to avoid popup login box while you are using htpasswd protection. It is not aMember-specific, it is impossible.

    Hopefully, we have another protection options, which work on most (not on any!) hostings and in most (not any!) situations. I'm now talking about mod_rewrite+php_include protection method, described in aMember Pro manual.

    It works for CPanel-based webhosting or dedicated server, if you are serving HTML/images content. It may not work for another situations.

    As you guess, it is available for Pro version only.
