Login Problems

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 30 Jan 2006, 05:49

Hi

I am a member of the Forum, even of the Society, and when I log in at the top of the page, it shows that I'm logged in, but often when I post something, I'm shown as a Guest. (It will be interesting to see what happens this time.)

It seems that whenever I touch a Preview or Submit button I get kicked right out again. So I keep logging in, but I keep being called a Guest.

Boo hoo. Can anyone open the door and let me in?

Hi Matt

Sorry, I don't know. I don't think so. Is it important?

Thanks,
Errol

It will have a bearing Errol as cookies are how a site knows you.

If you're using internet explorer go to Tool, Internet options and Privacy.

Your cookie settings are in there, mine are set to medium and I've not trouble with the site.

Hi, Erroll,

Yes, you will need to enable cookies in order to use this site. If you don't want to enable cookies for all Web sites, you can put the Society site into your trusted sites zone. Using Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Security. Click on the "Trusted sites" icon, then the [Sites] button. Type http://*.enidblytonsociety.co.uk in the box, click [Add], and then [OK].

Hope that works.

Matt

Hi Matt and George

Thanks for the assistance. Now this is dangerous - when I start digging around in these kinds of settings!

Anyway I followed your very clear instructions, and this is what happened:

George: I got there and found my setting is already on Medium. So that should be OK.

Matt: I followed your instructions too, but when I typed in the site address, I was told it would only accept addresses with the https:// prefix.

The strange thing, though, is that in the past I have posted messages and they've shown that they are from me. It's only recently that this Guest thing has started, though I've done nothing that should've caused it. Oh, well, maybe if we ignore it it'll go away and things will return to normal again.

Many thanks,
Errol

Hi

Me again. Hey, now look at that! That message worked perfectly. These machines certainly have an inbuilt random function selector, because, as I explained above, I altered nothing on those settings.

Well, I won't question it too much. As long as it works!

Good to be back again.

I have posted a pertinent topic under "Child Whispers", where this topic started. I include it below:

By the way, I'm not a Guest. I'm a proper member. I sign in *repeatedly* (and I mean "repeatedly) when I'm in the Forums, but I keep finding myself having to log in all over again, and every so often when I post I'm called a Guest. It'll be interesting to see what this one does.

Yes, I much prefer using Mozilla Firefox as my browser, instead of Internet Explorer. However, I can't even log-in most of the time; on the odd occasion when I can, in spite of ticking the "keep logged in" box, next visit, I'm logged out again. Therefore, I have to use IE as my browser when accessing this site.
