I know I've read of this before but have been unable to track it down. Is it normal that I have to log in twice even for very short posts like this one? I click reply and type it all in when asked, post a sentence or two click submit reply and get asked to log in again. Less than ten seconds have passed sometimes.
100% an issue on your part. Things such as security programs, settings in your browser of choice, and other stuff of this nature are the cause. You're being asked to login again because the cookie is not being saved properly.Quote:

After which, I can flit in and out of the forums, never having to log in or anything.
Hope this helps
Thank-you for the advice, Rongar. Unfortunately, finances preclude me from having the internet at home where I play so I'll have to try and figure it out by what cfeedback has mentioned. So far I haven't had much luck so I guess I'm not the detective I thought I was which is strange considering I've read all the Hardy Boys including the "Detective Handbook". Guess I'm due for a re-read.:D
To be honest I was hoping it would be a simple fix so if it turns out to be too complicated I will just suck it up. After all if I really want to post I'll do what it takes.
What browser do you use?
IE6 SP3 with an XP Professional SP3 OS. No choice here. I have to use what I am provided with.
Go to Tools > Internet Options and go to the Privacy tab. What security level is it set to?Quote:

I found this thread on a quick search. Not sure if anything there will help... I have to run right now though. I'll try and search some more later on.
No worries, HGM. I appreciate the help you've done. BTW, I hope you and etothep don't hurt your necks talking around me.:pQuote:

Sorry, I'm usual pretty good with acronyms but I'm drawing a blank on AV program? Could you "baby-talk" me?Quote:

Thanks for the lead and for taking the time to provide it.
If you only you applied this much effort into actually working...
;)
Funny fella.:p
