I'm getting a repeat of a past issue.

Came to the forum yesterday and had to log in, i never log out :( I logged in, or tried anyway, hissy-fit forum didnt recognise me. Thought i'd reset my password but my email address wasnt recognised either. At one point i managed to log in, only to see the log in boxes at the bottom of the page inviting me to err, log in. :thumbsdown:

I'm here now obviously, but if i leave, when i return i have to log in again. Tedious :fuelfire:

Try sending Sp3ctre a PM. He’s the technical brains behind the forum. It’s usually a cookie issue - unless something nefarious is being attempted with your account!

Interested in the answer. I have the same problem. PITA. Ticked the remember me box and have now reached the limits of my skills.

He’s still around, it may be an all lower case username. He was on the Forum last week.

Haven’t seen pvr or AW8 in ages - Moderators - so we must be behaving :D

Had to log in just to reply to this :x

In trying to PM Sp3ctre his name appears as a prompt so spelling not an issue, unlike forum behaviour :headbang:

Bl@@dy forum :headbang:

Typed a long reply on another thread but couldnt post it as i wasn't logged in FFS. Finally logged in after four attempts and my typed message was nowhere to be seen.

I'll amuse myself somewhere else until this is resolved, again.


****

I just typed and sent a PM to Sp3ctre. Its disappeared, literally not showing in any folder :evil:

Thank you.

Think my direct PM may now be lurking somewhere.

Hi,

I haven't changed anything within the settings for a long time, so not sure why this would just start happening now. However, I did just check and have found a small gremlin in the settings which I have corrected. Not sure if it will clear this up or not but worth trying.

Here are the steps to try your side:

- Clear your browser cache (including cookies)
- Remove any bookmarks (favourites to the forum)
- manually access the forum by typing the address, xdrivers.co.uk
- login
- Once logged in feel free to create a bookmark if you used to have one

If you follow these steps hopefully the issue will be resolved.

Have you got ‘remember me’ ticked or whatever this forum calls it. If not ticked it will log you out when you leave. It’s about all that I can think of :?

Interesting question.

Noting i have been logged out, i tap on log in, surprising i know. Its auto filled but my log in name is shown as my email address. When i tap on that to change it, it switches to Sapphireblack in a nano second and logs me in before i can select remember me :roll:
