Hi everybody, sorry if I'm submitting this twice but the first time I wasn't subscribed to the list yet, and since my message didn't show up on the archives, maybe nobody received it actually.
Please let me know if someone has already experienced such problems, eventually giving me some pointer about the solution - assuming there is any (I'm forwarding my message here below, please have a read).
By the way, I tried searching the previous postings with the link http://lists.drupal.org/drupal-support/swish.cgi?idxname=drupal-support as reported on http://lists.drupal.org/listinfo/support but I got a 404 response.
Thanks for your patience, I'm quoting my message here below. Have fun, Francesco

Hi everybody, my name is Francesco, I'm new here so first of all let me thank you very much for your dedication - to all the creators, developers and community - Drupal is fantastic and the online resources are invaluable.
I've been using Drupal for some time now, both locally and installing it on some websites, and everything has gone fine so far.
But now I'm experiencing some problems logging in to some sites, one of which is drupal.org.
The creation of the new account completed successfully, but when I try to log in, it simply pulls me out without giving me any warning. If I try to login with wrong credentials then I receive a "wrong usename/password" error.
Some details:
- I connect to the Internet with an ISP that forces me behind a proxy, limiting me to use http/https on port nr. 80.
- I've published two Drupal 6.10 installations on different hosts, and I happen to experience such problems only on one of them: frasic.altervista.org - works perfectly toscana-offerte.com/drupal - accepts the login but keeps me logged out, just like drupal.org
- I am able to log into the websites with another connection (one that doesn't force me behind a proxy). Once I'm logged in, I can disconnect (keeping the browser open), connect again with the proxy connection and continue surfing without being thrown out.
The thing that hassles me is that on frasic.altervista.org I'm experiencing no problems at all. I have no clue, any suggestion or pointer will be really welcome.
I hope this was the right place to ask for help about this issue. I'd have some more questions I'd like to submit to the community, and my idea was to post them on the drupal.org forum, but as you know by now, I cannot easily use it.
Just to let you know, to get around this connection problem with the trick mentioned above (login - change connection - continue surfing) I'd have to subscribe another Internet connection but I currently can not afford it (the experiment was made with a friend's connection).
Please let me know if I can submit those issues here in the mailing list - that's no bug report or feature request, it's about making some context-aware sidebar boxes (unfortunately I wasn't able to find a solution in the existing threads, although there are many which cover the "context-aware sidebar content" and "pass variables to box content" topics)
Thank you very much for your attention, feel free to ask in case you are interested in this issue and need further details to investigate it.
Wish you all the best, have fun, Francesco entuland@gmail.com
