Auto-login issue

10-02-2004, 14:00
I'm having a problem with the auto-login feature working. the box for it is checked in the settings and I've tried unchecking it, logging back in and rechecking it. I've also tried accessing the site with my firewall off (the problem started before my computer crashed, however, and I changed firewalls in the process of restoring the computer.) I use Windows XP running IE6 and have broadband internet with no ISP software on this computer. This problem is more annoying than serious.

Are you making sure to click the 'Update Settings' box when you uncheck it and then when you recheck it later. I had the same problem with my nation at one point when it wouldn't stop automatically logging in. I don't remember how I fixed it though.

yeah, I've done absolutely everything I can think of...and my browser is set to accept cookies...

Firewall won't effect this. This is strictly a cookies issue. So, you say that you've gone to settings, turned off Auto-Login, clicked apply, gone back, turned On Auto-login, clicked apply. And it still didn't fix things?

Interesting.

Perhaps the cookie needs to be manually deleted?
