Logging In Issues

Rae Vynn · 09-11-2008, 10:05 PM

So, in this past week, PriusChat the website is not remembering me, even though I've not changed my browser settings, and I have the "remember me" box checked.

also, when I log in, it tells me that I've entered incorrect information, that I've used 1 of 5 of my logging attempts... and I go straight to my CP, and am able to post, read, etc. (oh, and it tells me that I'm logged in as RaeVynn).

So, what's up with the poor memory?

I don't have a clue.

(just thought I'd respond)

Maybe you're just not very memorable?

I never show being logged in from the home page. I have to go to forums or view new posts before it remembers me.

I think PC uses cookies and sometimes gets confused. I have the same problem, Rae Vynn, if I've shut down my browser. When it asks me to log in, I just hit the Forums link and then do what I want, I'm already logged in. If I try to log in by entering my name and password, I get the log in error and warning. Try ignoring it and just go to Forums.

Okay... I fixed it.

Clear cookies. I forgot that when I clear private data in FireFox, I had unselected the cookies option. Duh.

So, if anyone has this issue, it's a bad cookie.

I think I had a bad ham sandwich once but that didn't hamper my ability to log into Priuschat.

I'm glad you didn't toss your cookies.
