I am getting so frustrated. I now have problems on two of my sites with user access, both of which appear to be browser issues as certain things work in FireFox and not in IE.
I currently have one site, www.ItsAllAboutFamily.com where I have community builder installed along with several other components, and I am finding that registered members are unable to view components such as 'My Menu' that require 'registered' membership, therefore can't access their profiles. No 'registered' users can add 'comments' or forums as well as a few other components.

Has anyone else ever run into this problem. Registered users could also not access 'registered' components on Safari (on Ipad).

did you delete cookies?
did you try enable anti spoof in cb config?
did you disable cacheing?

no reason why access levels should be different on different browsers...

A brand new user wrote to tell me that they could not access their profile page after logging in. I found out he was using the IE browser and sure enough when I tried to log on with a test user (as registered), I ran into the same issue (My Menu, with the profile link was not visible). I then tried to log into the FireFox browser and was able to see the 'My Menu' and then able to access the profile page. I had never logged on with that test user on the IE browser before, and I had deleted all cache, cookies, etc.

For some reason I am getting different results - as are my users. I'm also getting the same issue on another site that I maintain for someone else. I had to put a note on the home page to use FireFox instead of IE.

Spoofing was set to 'no' so I did set to 'yes', however this had no effect. Still did not allow a registered user to log into IE and have the system recognize user was 'registered'. Still could not access the 'My Menu' with the profile link.

What could possibly cause this issue and how does one go about fixing it?

Under Joomla Global Configuration:
I have SEO Settings, Search Engine Friendly URLs set to NO.

I have the JOOMLA System - Language Filter (plugin) disabled.
The System - SEF plugin is enabled

The Language Switcher module is published but I'm not using it. I changed the status to 'Unpublished'

If I log into the site in IE as a registered user, my username shows up in the ONLINE module, yet the My Menu with the links requiring a registered user is not displayed (but should be). If I try to click on my testuser name in the Online module, I then get a message: Please log in or register to view user profiles. My test user is registered and everything works fine in FireFox.

I appreciate your help. I've spent so much time just getting this far and users still can't even access anything (if using IE).

This site is using CB version 1.8 with JOOMLA Version 1.7.3 with php Version 5.3.13
