Urgent Help Needed! Thanks!
-
Dear IT experts,
Need your kind advice please. I tried to log in to a forum (yekaroo) and what happened was that whenever I tried to go to a topic, it will prompt me for my login ID and password again. So, I keyed in and again, same thing keep repeating.
I do not have this problem with SG Forums. Yekaroo forum kept prompting me for login id and password whenever I clicked a topic. Even when I logged in, it would still prompt me again.
It's getting very frustrating. May I know why is this so? Is it cookies/firewall which I am using? But I do not have this problem with SG Forum?
Thanks -
Sounds like a cookies problem.
If it's a phpBB board, tick this box: Log me on automatically each visit
If it's a Invision board, make sure you set your browser to allow cookies.
Same for vBulletin.
Other boards, not sure. -
Thanks Mayi. However, when I went to Internet Options, Privacy, and chose the 'Low' setting for cookies, the problem still persists.
The forum is invision. Has it gota do with me using Spysweeper real-time and also zone alarm firewall? Do I need to disable them?
But I fear that by setting privacy to 'low' or disabling the sweeper and firewall, will it endanger my security? -
It could be Spysweeper. Check that you don't set Spysweeper to erase cookies or block cookies.Originally posted by Chrysalis_Guy:Thanks Mayi. However, when I went to Internet Options, Privacy, and chose the 'Low' setting for cookies, the problem still persists.

I don't have Spysweeper, so I can't tell.

Try this website to look at the settings of Spysweeper. Don't follow everything in the website, just tweak the cookies settings will do. -
Thanks Mayi. I tried all means and even close my spysweeper and just leave zonealarm enabled. Browser set to 'low' and allow all cookies and it's still the same.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:It could be Spysweeper. Check that you don't set Spysweeper to erase cookies or block cookies.
