Forum registration problems

I clear my history once a week, sometimes more and I have never had a problem like you describe Propstrike.

I wonder if your security tab is set too high it does not allow the site to place cookies in the first place. Mine is set “to accept all cookies”. If your firewall, antivirus, spyware and all other security software is kept up to date and you run scans regularly, you should be O.K with this setting.

If there is no problems when you browse the web normally before this change then this is not the cause.

You can only try it and see.

I have IE 6 on my main base unit as I trust it on there but I am trying IE7 on the laptop. So far, so good as they say. There are a lot of users changed back to IE6 because of bugs though, just brows the helproom forums.

Pimpers.

For that I cannot do much. I have a lot of relatives and friends who have bought systems with pre-installed software such that the OS barely runs. Easiest thing to do is throw the restore CD bag in the bag and use a proper Windows install CD…getting one from your vendor may be difficult. Or if you are braver than I, try Linux (I have the Ubuntu Linux OS on file ready to try out, its supposed to be simple to do and use)

For Windows, I subscribe to KISS. Use the firewall on the router, Firefox 1.5 for a browser, have SP2 if using WinXP, use AVG for anti-virus, run Spybot/Ad-Aware occasionally. All of this is free.

IE7 is a lot buggy. Webby aiui has stopped rolling it out at Key.

Mind you Firefox 2 has some silly features that wind me up.

I had problems after installing the new Internet Explorer 7 upgrade & new anti everything package. After setting up all the firewalls, cookies & permissions the website kept telling me it did not recognise my email address & to contact the ‘IT Police’ at Key.

It was easier to re-register as it was Xmas.

All ok since happy to say.

Try again after you have done the following and then report back…

}you could also click View Cookies and delete all the ones pertaining to this forum but that’s a bit long-handed{

🙁 It’s happening to me as well, and I’m definately ticking the box

I doubt you have to re-register as in th enew user sense.

Which browser are you using? IE? Firefox? Please don’t say AOL…

Do you tick the “remember me” box when you log on? Is this the bit it is forgetting?

I can’t help directly, but have reposted this to the Mods forum.
