Cookie Settings and login issues

Postby GreenLake » Thu Apr 23, 2015 11:18 pm

A slight change to the board's cookie settings was needed. If this causes any issues, the fix is to clear your browser's cookies for daysailer.org and forum.daysailer.org.

Some people have reported login issues, where the login doesn't "take". We are looking into that. Clearing cookies may help.

Normally, the "Delete all board cookies" link at the bottom of the index page should work to clear all cookies associated with the forum.

There are also browser-specific ways to view and remove cookies, see https://kb.iu.edu/d/ajfi

If you use multiple browsers, each keeps its own cookies.

Some users report not being able to view images ("not authorized"). That's usually due to login failures.

If none of the methods above have helped, clearing the browsers entire history is another option that has
worked for some.

Note, you can check whether you are correctly logged in by noticing that the top-right of the page says: "Logout [ Username ]" where "Username" is your user name.

We keep getting reports that people have login issues, but didn't see this message.
