Why?

**Lawso** · 13-03-2009, 01:56 PM

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?

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.

Are you using internet explorer, and if so what version?

Hi Lawso,
Can you think of anything at all that you have added, removed or changed on your PC around the time this started?

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.
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,

Digger had a similar problem-he ended up having to change his name to reggid !

Hopefully you will overcome such a frustration .
