    Forum login issue

    Hi
    Not sure where to post this.
    I am having trouble with my laptop and this forum, (in fact most vbuilitin forums).
    I log in, I click remember me, etc, it remembers for about two pages then logs me out. I can't post, can't search, every time I'm asked for my log in, its getting rather irritating now.
    Using Firefox 1.5.0.7. Cleared Cache, cookies, etc, no effect.

    Any help / suggesting welcomed

    Leona.

    I think you disabled cookies.
    Check the edit >> preferences and the privacy tab.
    Why can't technology be as simple as the box it comes in ?

    Thanks Kate
    I've checked the setting for privacy, its enabled and the option "for site that set it" is ticked also. I clicked on view cookies and it thee are 2 set for ubuntuforum but it still refuses to let me use the forum.

    I love your signature by the way

    Yep, same here. I can only access the forum on this machine where I am already logged in. I've tried on 2 other machines and it says that I've successfully logged in then returns as a non-logged in user.

    Must be a vBulletin thing, I'm on 2 other forums which use this software and have the same issue, its very odd.
