knocked off the board

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.

Details on your OS and browser could help resolve this problem.

Obliged. I shall investigate.

Maybe you should try another route into these forums, Butch.

Before I access them, first I bring a BM game onscreen("Resumed" or "New", it doesn't matter). Then I click on its Help/Online forums.

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.

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?

[Butch]

IE6 SP3 with an XP Professional SP3 OS. No choice here. I have to use what I am provided with.

From the sounds of it, he's using a work computer it seems, where he has no choice over what he can use.

Even better. He can show his higher-ups how much better firefox and chrome are and then get the credit from them after they inevitably switch. I see a promotion in Butch's future

Accept all Cookies. I had already checked that out from cfeedback's post but since it was already at the least secure setting I figured I had hit a dead end.

Hm... beats me, then. Have you tried googling to see if anybody else has experienced similar issues?

I wish! Due to client websites that I need to access we are very limited in this area. Most had set up their websites years ago and are not always willing to invest the $$$ to upgrade, even for improved security.

Not yet but shall. As mentioned above, I could of sworn I'd seen posts regarding this issue. You know just for these last few posts I've had to log in each time.

And just had to again.
