Title: Please what am I doing wrong?
Post by: markfield rover on February 28, 2014, 16:11:26
I have to enter all my details each time I visit, have I  pressed or not something? I know it only takes a minute but never used to be this way.

I don't think that you're doing anything wrong as I'm having to do the same.

Let me guess you are on a Mac or Apple appliance.

I am having the same problem with my Ipad but not my PC

I guess it has something to do with the Apple/Mac security but as I said I am only guessing.

Perhaps when I download  the latest update this might resolve itself.

I'm using a PC with Windows XP and Chrome browser.  I had no problem until the 'Like' and 'Karma' widgets appeared here.

It is almost certainly something to do with cookies.  These are little files that sites leave on your PC so they know who you are when you revisit.  You have to make sure cookies are enabled but how to do that depends on what device and what browser you are using on said device.   There are site settings that Admin can change but as far as I can everything is working as it should.

Try looking for the cookie settings on your device\browser to see if they are enabled.

I'm still having this problem. It's the only site where I do, and have tried various things to overcome it but all to no avail. 
Any suggestions on what to try will be most welcome.

Flighty,

What browser are you using and are you on Windows 7?
If you can delete the cookie and any temp files associated with A4A it may help..

Have a look here - it sounds complex and assumes you are using Internet Explorer..

Chrome on Windows XP. This is the only site, of many, that I have this problem with.

You could try this

Find the A4A cookie and delete - a quick search says you are not the only one with this issue..
