Help Needed Logging Into Cellar!
 

I'm at my parents for the week, so am logging in on their home PC, rather than from my work. I can access the Cellar fine as a visitor, and can log in fine, but as soon as I try to enter anything, it tells me I am logged out and makes me log in again.

Obviously this means I can still post, change my details, read PMs etc, but only one step at a time. I assume it's something to do with cookies?

If anyone can suggest something simple & generic I can change I'd be grateful. Otherwise I'll get my brother to look at it for me after the weekend.

I would just check the "remember me" box when you log in, and be double sure to click the "log out" link when you're done each time.

I have done :( In fact I have already tried my brother too (he's here now, take a bow!) and he can't work it out either.... When he tried to log onto his favourite (inferior) forum he is logged out too.

Any further advice really helpful as I have no-one else to turn to (and my bro has just done the worst fart ever so I'm not asking him back!)

Advice from Bro - also tried changing the cookie settings to accept all, but doesn't make a difference.

I've had that problem at other sites but not here,... yet!
The only advice I've gotten, from those sites, is clear the cache. :confused:

Something is blocking cookies. Check the security setting of your browser and the security setting of your firewall. An advanced solution is to plant a cookie yourself. Have you tried hitting reply (without being logged in) and using the login that appears when you do that? Sometimes you can squeeze in a post before being "logged out" by logging in through there.

Alternatively, you can download either Opera or Firefox and see if that makes a diff.

You have savvy parents.

They have blocked cookies on *their* PC

I wish my parents were that wise! No, they inherited my sister in law's PC, which is why I thought my brother might be able to help. He works in IT for heaven's sake. But he's baffled.

Seems to be working today - fingers crossed.

I knew sooner or later we'd see parental control here in the Cellar. heehee....

Gave up in the end & just socilaised face to face with my family - how very 10 years ago. Had a lovely time actually - will post elsewhere.

At least it meant I had something to look forward to when I came back to work.
