Forum usage problems anyone?
I keep getting requests to enter my username and password to log-in again, especially when I want to post a message and it's a real pain
Anyone else having log-in problems

Tell me about it!!
Yes, exactly the same problem for some time now, in fact it started about the same time the site had all that trouble with it's address and we couldn't log on.
The most annoying thing is that sometimes, I log in, type out a reply to a post and when I try to submit it, it tells me I'm not logged in!! If you log in again at that point, you new post is lost!!! Very annoying, especially of it's one of my sonnets! I know Nick Graves has the same problem. A workaround for this one is to highlight your new post (right mouse button) and copy the post to the clipboard. Then log in again and paste the post into the blank reply box.
I've tried every variation of the site settings and IE 5.5 on Ross's advice but I can't cure the problem. Before all this started, I never had to log in at all.

It wont be a problem with the site, it will be the browser. The browser stores your logon and password details so its possible that its lost them or they have been corrupted by something, check your cookie setting, if youve switched off the accepting of cookies then this could be the problem.
I personally dont use IE, I use Netscape and I havnt experienced anything like this.

No, I think it's a forum problem in that it isn't setting the cookie correctly, or it can't read it correctly or find it for some reason.
I've emailed Hondagal as follows:
Can you please take a look at the thread entitled "Forum usage problems anyone? " on the UK S2000 Owners forum and have soemone look into this?
Thanks

Thanks Pete! Thanks Jason:
If in IE 5.5. I go Tools/ Internet Options then end tab... 'Advanced' the scroll down box where you tick or untick options, I can't find any reference to Cookies. I distinctly remember the option being there in the past? Any ideas... anyone?
