Auto login to site not working properly

Post by Wicky »

Still having problems with the auto log in feature since the changeover. Using safari I've reset it i.e deleted cache, deleted cookies etc but despite this I have to manually log in every visit.

works ok for me bud, maybe in your security settings, lke you may have 'don't allow 3rd party cookies' enabled or summat?

3 security settings for Cookies in Safari

Always
Never
Checked Only from Sites I visit (block cookies from 3rd parties and advertisers)

Works for everything else I use

there are no VTR1000.org cookies, rather there are 3 for .vtr1000.org (set to expire after a year). The VTR site is presumably framed through vtr1000.org which is what it is confusing my 'puter, as the cookies for some reason aren't read by the VTR1000 site

:confused :confused

Works for Internet Explorer, you can test it on Safari for us all.

If having it always accepting cookies on opens up a can of cookie worms then I'll post a follow up

Cuppa,
Got it sorted, but as I did about 3 things from the suggestions on here including deleting my shortcut, and changing the cookie setting, I dont know which worked, so you can all assume your fix worked.

Just got to repeat it on Home PC now :thumbup:
