Having just joined (migrate in on Thursday :) ), I've signed in here on a 'forever' basis, but the site forgets me when I leave. I've checked that there is no cookie being put on my machine, which I would have expected, have I missed something obvious? (Cookies are working for other sites I use regularly...)
Apologies if I've chosen the wrong forum to post this in.
Slainthe!

Hi rikbean
I just checked mine that i have to ignore idnetters.idnet.co.uk and www.idnetters.co.uk i use firefox and IE.
Hi Steve
I'm on IE6 (I know... ::) ). Coming here 'cold', ie just to the URL, the board does not remember me. Coming here by clicking the link alerting me to your reply, the board does remember me.
I'm confused. ???
It's cookies rik.
You need to avoid deleting any beginning with idnet as Steve says.
Thanks, Nerval. I have three relevant cookies, idnet.co.uk and two for idnetters.co.uk. Should I have more? Would I be best served by deleting them all and starting again?
Thanks.
Reply to myself. The idnetters cookies have expiry dates of 2012 and 2038, both show modified access times to match my arrival here. So they seem to be working, they remain after I leave, but the board isn't picking up on them. What stupid thing can I have done? :)
Even more confused reply to myself.
When I arrive at the home page, I'm shown as not logged in. Once I enter this (or any) forum, I'm shown as logged in. If I go back to the home page, I'm still logged in. Go away and come back, I go through the same process.
I only have the 2 i mentioned above but i have noticed that sporadically im logged in automatically other than that me username and password is already there and i have to click login ive no idea why.
Hi again.
I've got idnet.net; idnet.co.uk; idnetters.co.uk; and idnetters.idnet.co.uk
Though I've tried to keep logged into the Broadband usage page (doesn't work, but may account for two of the cookies).
But it always works for the forums. I've never had to log in again since I saved the cookies.
I wonder if it's a problem with the browser. Try it on Firefox.
I get logged out regardless of which browser I've used and I've tried IE, Firefox and Opera.
Scott is aware from a posting I made at ADSLG.

Ive saved both and it seems sporadic np really just clicking login as the username and password are there, it seems at times some are loginless i am now resigned to being in a state of longinlessness ::) :out: :banana2:
Hmmm. I love "loginlessness" (the word, not the concept) :police:
Strange that I am always loginful on the forum, but loginless on the IDNet broadband monitor page. Presumably some problem at IDNet's end then.
Well, at least it sounds like I've not done anything really daft. That is unusal. ;) Thanks, guys.
Well I have another silly log in problem......first page of forum says "welcome Guest"....when I go to any of the index's ie. IDNetters Help it says "Hey Xbandito"......now this has only started since Maxping become an admin :P who let him loose on the forum ??? ;D
That's exactly what I get. So we can blame Maxping, eh? Nice to know. :)
Use Roboform it fills the username & password and takes you into the site. (its free)
IE version - http://www.roboform.com/
FF version - http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Password-Managers-Generators/Roboform-Firefox-Mozilla-Adapter.shtml
Thanks for the link. Does this mean you do accept responsibility? :)

I'll settle for that. :)
Did you give Roboform a try?
Not yet, I thought I'd get my migration sorted first (next few hours). However, it's downloaded and waiting.
If you haven't used it before when you fill in the password e.t.c. on the log in screen of a site you are visiting, hit the "save" button in the tool-bar and thats all you do.
The next time you visit the site when the log in screen appears simply place the cursor on the name of the site in the tool-bar (close to the "save" button) and it will offer to either fill or fill & submit, and thats it.
That'll save me reading the tutorial, thanks. AAMOI, how's it different to Windows auto-complete/remember passwords?
Just had a look and it says
RoboForm is completely free if you have 10 passwords or less in it
Sp presumably you need the paid version for more than that.
Ok so roboform is useful IF you have problems with a lot of sites.....but I only have this SILLY little problem...of being a guest at the front page and logged in in which ever index I go to........and I only have this problem with THIS forum (out of 32 forums at last count).
So come on Maxping...own up what ya done ??? ;) ;D

I have the same issue at home (IE7/Firefox2/Opera) but not on my work PC (IE6).
Not sure why though :)

Yes after 10 you get a pop asking if you want to buy the full version.

No its useful if like me you run CCLeaner at the end of each day to get all the cr*p off your HDD.
I have most cookies set not to be deleted but ones like ebay e.t.c. i let be removed , roboform makes it quick and easy to enter the site when you revisit.
