After more than 5 years on ST and 1480 posts, suddenly I find I have to log in if I want to reply to a thread. I don't take kindly to being told: "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page" etc etc.
What's going on??

Hi Lawso. Lost your cookies? :D
Have you cleaned up your PC lately? of such things as temp internet files etc. Anyway, when you log on tick the "remember me box" and you shouldnt have to do it again. Let me know how you get on. Mind you if it gets tricky you may have to call in an expert like Trackers.
I've ticked the Remember Me? box, Strat, and it's made no difference. It's like email Xtra - they mess around with something that's working perfectly and only stuff things up.
Lawso, I've noticed lately I get timed out while I am reading along thread (eg reading an internet attchment). Maybe they changed the way the timeout works, or just shortened the time
Hi Fungus: I'm using IE5 and I know it needs upgrading to IE7 or whatever. I'm waiting for someone to come and show me how it's done.Quote:
Are you using internet explorer, and if so what version?
Strat: I don't think I've done anything like that.
tobo: That hasn't happened to me.
Thanks, guys, for your interest. Still no response from anyone at ST,
The logging-in nonsense seems to have corrected itself, or been corrected by some mysterious and anonymous hand.
Lawso, - Nothing has changed at all. Strat answered the way I would have answered. I thought that would have sorted it for you! Normally 99% of the time a cookie which is required has been deleted, - if you come accross this problem again > Log in again and make sure the 'remember me' box is ticked. If it still does not log you in, dump all your internet cache, cookies, temp file (inculding all offline content. (Found by right clicking on the IE5 icon and then properties.
I would suggest that you upgrade to IE7. It's very easy to perform and should only take about 5-10 minutes. Go here and just click download. (The link is Microsoft) It self installs, and instructions are very easy to follow.
Hope that helps.
