Hi Trystan and all technical people,
I had a problem last week of suddenly not being able to log in (after a long and uninterrupted relationship with RootsChat which automatically logs me in so I don't have to think about it
)
I had an exchange of emails with Trystan, since I couldn't log in to post a question, and finally got back in after manually deleting what appeared to be an old cookie.
Now it happened again this morning, so I carefully checked what I needed to do to clear it and I'd really appreciate anyone who can make sense of it for me
I normally use Firefox as my browser which works brilliantly for me (now I've loaded all the add-ins I need like DJVU etc) I've double checked it and it allows cookies, or at least it says it does BUT I deleted the Rootschat cookie manually as before and still Rootschat couldn't log me in. Then I used IE, logged in, closed IE, reopened Firefox and was away again, as you can see, since I'm typing this.
So what I'm asking is this - why was Firefox unable to save the Rootschat cookie when IE obviously could? (The option 'Allow sites to set cookies' is checked in Firefox)
I've just seen a similar posting of newbie's to do with the the family relatives site that might or might not be a sympton of the same thing......
Any ideas anyone? I don't really want to keep IE on my desktop purely in order to set cookies for a few sites - Firefox seems to be saving them for some sites but not others?
