That has been fixed in meantime.

Have you tried the elogd.cfg setting:
[global]
URL = http://your.host/
it might help there.

You should at least receive a login page. So does this push back occur on a
wrong username there or how does it happen?

Agree. Will work on that.

Can you reproduce the problem? If so, tell me the exact sequence of thing
you do and I can try to reproduce it as well, then fix it.

Wow, your browser crashes? Funny, I never had that. So what does the browser
say?

I will try to install 7.03 and reproduce this, might take some while...

Something like
Date format = %B %d, %Y
in your configuration file reduces the date string length considerably. |
