CookieCuller addresses a lot of the shortcomings.

Click on Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies. Scroll down to idnetters.co.uk, open that folder. Do you see SMFcookie904? If so, delete it, close Firefox, then re-start, login to the forum with the 'forever' option, and see if it retains the setting after that.

If it doesn't, I'd recommend you download the CookieCuller addon, then use that to protect that cookie (and any others you want to preserve).

HTH.

I've done all that but still getting problems! I haven't changed anything, have you?

Going for another drink! and a lie down

Rik · May 22, 2009, 18:47:52

What's happening, Jill, or not happening?

J!ll · May 22, 2009, 19:07:09

I have to log in all the time!

Rik · May 22, 2009, 19:10:51

Have you checked that the cookie is on your machine?

J!ll · May 22, 2009, 19:29:20

Well I removed one which you said to remove, but it returns

off for another drink!

Rik · May 23, 2009, 09:53:43

You need to retain it, not remove it, Jill.

I did as you said here, but it makes no difference what I do! still have to log in.

Have you tried CookieCuller?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:10:43

No. Why after all this time am I having problems?

Rik · May 23, 2009, 10:18:20

I have no idea, tbh, Jill, but it will relate to that cookie. Are you running any software which 'cleans up' your machine?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:25:10

No, I don't think so

Rik · May 23, 2009, 10:27:30

So is the cookie there when you start Firefox, before you visit the forum?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:35:37

Yes

Rik · May 23, 2009, 10:38:37

Then I'm stumped.

Did it use to work?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:41:05

Yes, that's what I can't understand

Rik · May 23, 2009, 10:45:24

Can you think what has changed on your machine?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:49:38

Nothing, I've not used it much as I've been busy with family probs

Rik · May 23, 2009, 10:54:36

You've tried logging out from the forum, deleting that cookie, clearing your cache, then starting again?

J!ll · May 23, 2009, 10:56:41

Yes, but I can try again

Done, see what happens

Sebby · May 23, 2009, 11:02:05

Are you using CookieCuller, Jill?

Rik · May 23, 2009, 11:02:44

If that doesn't cure it, I don't know what to suggest.

Simon · May 23, 2009, 11:14:27

In the cookie screen, yet clicking Exeptions, then type idnetters.co.uk and click Allow, Jill. That might work.

Simon · May 23, 2009, 11:15:35

Yet = try.

Rik · May 23, 2009, 11:16:12

Close.
