Some people are having problems with the new board whereby they log in but as soon as they go to do something they are told they must log in first.

 

The reason this happens is because the board knows you are logged in by placing a cookie on your computer.  If the cookie is not there you will always appear not to be logged in and will not be able to access any of the member's areas or post anything.

 

Your browser has options to turn off cookies.  If they are turned off the board will not work.  

 

Usually these options are listed in Internet Options for IE or Preferences for Netscape.  In some cases you can turn them off in two places, once under cookies and once under security.  If your browser is set to accept cookies and your security is set to medium or lower then the problem should not occur.

 

A very small percentage of people still have the problem after turning cookies on.  As yet I have been unable to work out why.  To date I have found only 2 solutions.  1) Change browser.  If you are using IE change to Netscape or vice versa. 2) Alternatively adjusting your system clock backwards by a day or a week may also fix it.  I have no idea why at the moment but we are working on the problem.
