Strange account or PC issue - I have to log in every time

[ReX]

I don't know what has changed, but for some reason every single time I go to TY4stroke.com I have to log in again. This has been going on for quite a while - ~couple of months.

It doesn't matter if I click "remember me" or not, I still need to log in the next time to use my account.

This happens on all 4 PCs that I regularly use to access TY.

Do I need to delete my TY cookies or something, or is there an issue with my account on TY?

I have configured IE7 to accept all cookies, but that didn't fix it.

Clear all cookies and temp files... that should be the fix. Microsoft may have update something that change it in your browsers on all 4 PCs

Rather than delete them all, is there a particular IP address and name I can delete?

 

[MrSled]

clear temp files and cookies for TY4stroke.com

clear temp files and cookies for TY4stroke.com

I think I found the problem - but not the solution.

There are no cookies or temp files from ty4stroke.com.

On top of that there are no cookies without a full website address (no IP cookies).

I suspect that the issue is related to Vista. I upgraded our PCs a couple of months ago and I think that is when this problem started.

I hate Vista.... problems all over until 4 revisions later then they will get it right and change it again.

I hear you...

I've just gone through all of my settings and it should be wide open to accept all cookies - but it doesn't...

I've had lots of stupid security issues in the past too. Recently someone sent me an .exe file within a .zip and Vista decided "it was too dangerous for me to access it". No matter what we tried we couldn't get Vista to allow me to access it. We even turned off defender and all of the security stuff and Vista refused.

To make this issue very ironic, the .exe file was from Microsoft as they were trying to debug an issue with Vista. On top of that, the issue escalated to an MS developer who still couldn't get the file to run on my PC.

I ended up extracting the file on an older XP PC and transfering the file back to my Vista PC - just so Microsoft could diagnose and fix the bug (one day...).

Other than these strange security "features", Vista has been working quite well for us though. XP used to crash once in a while (~once per month for the OS and ~once per week for Internet Explorer) but since I installed Vista 2+ months ago I haven't seen a single crash of the OS nor Internet Explorer yet.


Any suggestions - other than the obvious "restore the XP backup I made prior to installing Vista".

I just tried manually adding ty4stroke.com to the list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer.

Now cached files are showing up from ty4stroke.com in the temp files, but still no cookies.

I also tried logging out and then logging back in again. Still no cookie...

Is there some reason Vista doesn't want to "trust" TY4stroke.com?

I can see cookies and temp files from most everywhere else (although there seems to be a few other web sites I use that are also missing so TY4stroke.com isn't alone with this issue...).

 

[MrSled]

are you checking the box on this site when you log in to remember you??

Many, many times...

It looks like adding TY4stroke.com to the list of trusted sites might have fixed the issue on this PC.

I haven't given it enough time to be certain, but I haven't needed to log back in since I did that a few hours ago.

Im having the same problem now! How can I check the cookies? I know how to delete them, just dont know how to pull up the list of them.
No problem automatically logging on TY, just doesnt work here on the 4 Stroke side.

I had to delete my cookies after the upgrade. On the 2 stroke site I couldn't use the NewPosts button It said "Sorry! The administrator has specified that you can only do one search every 25 seconds." After deleting them it's all good.
If you don't want to delete all cookies, just do a search from the start menu for cookies, then look in the folder for TY cookies and delete them.

Thanks, I will give it a try.
I get the same thing on TY when using the newposts button, but not everytime, randomly.
