Have to Log In every time -cookie lost?

[Paul Roberts]

I seem to have lost the cookie that keeps me logged in. I thought it would be re-issued when I log in. But, I have to log in each time now. Any suggestions?

Be sure you select "For keeps" from the pulldown menu on the login page.

Happens to me when i clear the cookies from time to time.

Do what Glenn says and all will be OK.

Thanks guys, but... it doesn't work. Even tried 24 hrs, then back to keeps. Doesn't work. Wonder what I cleared when I got rid of those cookies. I also had a trojan get in and cleared it with anti-malware software and it must have been linked somehow.

Did you set your browser setting to delete all cookies after each session?

[Paul Roberts]

tyrius,

No, but will check it out.

How does Paul keep getting around that block?

Nothing can keep me from talking fishin' -until your eyes are as bloody as my fingers!

Well.. I've been set to accept cookies all along. Even have a list of cookies under BassResource. But, something's not right.

I hate computers, I mean, when they don't do what you tell them. Am finally upgrading my main machine though. Due to be built next week. Now if I could only type as fast as it's quad-core MB can handle.

I'm going to guess that before the trojan, it worked fine.  Afterwards, it didn't.  Am I right?  If so, then I'm guessing you installed some anti-malware software (AdAware, Spybot, etc.) to get rid of it.  Problem is, those applications can block cookies as well.

Try disabling those apps first, and then log in and see if it works.  If it does, then you know to go into those programs and turn off the cookie blocking.  If it doesn't, then it's something else - like your browser's security settings or anti-virus software.

Sidenote:  There's absolutely nothing dangerous about cookies folks.  Don't block them.  Doing so only ruins your online experience, as demonstrated here.

Yup.

Will look into th new software -that, happily, plucked that trojan.

Thanks, Glenn.
