Forums keep logging me out
 

Even this one keeps logging me out

Situation: Go to login with my username and password on the frontpage, logs in. Ok thats fine i think, but... Everytimne i click "New Thread" the site(s) will log me out.

I have AOL running in the background but am currently using IE.

Have tried clearing cookies and Cache. Also i tried resetting everything back to deafults, but it still hasnt worked.

Yes, im sure its something to do with my cookies.

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

Maybe you've been banned from making new threads? :D
If it doesn't work in either browser then it's not that so I'd start looking at any "internet security" software which might be blocking cookies.

I have had this in Barryboys forums with Firefox hence I now use IE6 in there.

You still having problems with your smilies?

I'm prepared to bet that these two problems are linked.

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

I love that smilie!

Edit: and your taste in music isn't bad either! You deserve a rep just for know who Screeching Weasel is, but I have to whore it out first :)

Try closing all browsers and then clear all cache and cookies. Also check your security and privacy settings in case you have accidentily told either browser not to store information for those sites. Might be worth removing FF, delete the folder, reboot, re-install FF to a new location and start again.

You appeared to suggest (here) that you clear cookies each time you close the browser.

If you do, then that's why you are being logged out. Forum sites (including this one) use cookies to store your login details.

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

I cant do that as im using AOL, the thicko's obiously didnt know to include that feature.

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

you seem to have your security settings too tight, Wayne, & are not allowing session cookies. The 'medium' setting on the privacy tab in 'tools/internet options' is usually ok, any higher & you will start to run into the problems you are finding.

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

Ok i have ticked:

Override Automatic Cookie Handeling

Allow Session Cookies

First Party Cookies - Accept

Thrid Party Cookies - Accept

Security Settings: Medium.

And im still having the same problem. Would a reboot solve the problem?

Re: Forums keep logging me out
 

Probably need to restart the browser, a reboot wouldn't hurt...

Wayne, do you use a Firewall with Privacy Protection (such as Zone Alarm)? These do block cookies from all browsers. If you do, try turning off the protection.
