To be honest with your software I'm not sure. Some sites require the referrer field to be unmangled in the http request. Most personal firewalls rip these out before the request is sent so the server can't track where you've come from.

I would google the software you have installed and see if any users have had similar problems. At the very least you could switch your personal firewall off for 20 minutes to see if it is infact the software which is causing the issue. That is presuming that you have a hard firewall on your ADSL connection which has been configured correctly. If so, as long as you stay on sites you know are skoosh and you don't download email, you'll be fine to run a quick test.

Well I've done a lot of searching in addition to the searching I did before posting this thread and the only I've come up with that hasn't been done before is to change the expiration date of cookies. I've now set this at 100 days and I'm keeping my fingers crossed I login automatically next time I come back.


EDIT - No different, close window come back and I've got to login again and again.

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING on my pc has been checked, double checked and triple checked. There is nothing blocking anything at this end and YES it still happens with ZONE turned of!!!

Good luck.

See EDIT lol

Jordan,

Oh well, I guess you'll have to live with it. The last time I logged in by hand was the day I joined, so I'm doubtful the problem is with the server end.

Your not with AOL are you?

No demon.

Now here's another frustrating thing.

I got the topic reply notification for this thread, clicked it checked the top and it said I'm logged in. HOORAY I thought. Then I clicked post reply. Login, loop, login, loop. Several closes of IE and finally I am posting a reply. Then I click submit and .......... login, loop, login.

Eventually.... i get to write this post.

Now I have been everywhere I have checked and triple checked everything, i uses other phpbb boards without problem so why why why is it happening here.

I have the prob with or without FW. Yet before I never had this problem with the same softwares etc ever.

I can live with having to login in everytime I come to the site but not everytime I want to do something.

Daft questions I suppose but do you have these problems if using a different computer and is it possible for you to try one if you haven't already?

I can try borrow my neighbours laptop later to see if it happens from the same connection. Otherwise its an 11 mile trek to nearest friends with BB lol.
