I feel kind of stupid because I just deleted all my cookies and I perpetuated that advice and screwed other people up. I also didn't realize you could delete individual cookies.:frown:
I knew I would have to log in to many other sites again which wasn't that huge of a deal to me but I learned something new about deleting cookies. :) |

Anyway, in case someone still doesn't know what cookies to delete, here's the two names by themselves as a simple, short list: @adventuregamers @forums.adventuregamers :) I hope that helps someone. |
I also must drop another piece of advice: Always remember what your password is. Write it down and stick it somewhere in case these kinds of things happen. And yes, they do happen. They happened just recently, didn't they?
|
Write it on a post-it note and put it on the monitor ;)

I simply deleted as instructed, which turned out to be overkill. Live and learn. However, to those that consider some of us stupid, or, to rephrase, less than competent users, because we didn't know the AG-centric cookie files to delete...we're not stupid, nor are you that smart. As one of the Mods said, how can you expect staff to know what cookies are loaded by AG. If that is a legitimate question, how can anyone expect a casual user of AG to know the nuances of specific cookie removal, or even ask for guidance on same? I would suggest, that from this point forward that "whenever an upgrade occurs in the future, that results in this type of problem, clearer directions be given as to how to solve a problem that, was in this instance, experienced by many, but expertly solved by few." |

"The last time there was an upgrade of forum software, there were some issues that resulted in some subscribers having to log in every time they visited the AdventureGamers forum. The solution to this problem is resolved by manually deleting directory/filenames. Staff will be upgrading software again on date. While we hope similar problems don't appear, please monitor section/thread for any advisories. It is our goal to insure that nothing interferes with your AdventureGamers enjoyment." Obviously needs to be edited for each update instance, but that's the general concept. |

For all of you who never delete their cookie, well, I shudder thinking about how clustered your computer must be... Signing up again at a few sites can perhaps be a little annoying, but so is washing dishes. In both case, though, it's healthier than the alternative. EDIT: But yeah, something in the FAQ or somewhere else about this cookie thing could be helpful. |
I've still got the problem with cookies cleared.
Firefox 1.7 if you're interested. Sorry doug, being tricksy! |

1.0.7. Since 1.5 is the current stable release...
|
I am still getting logged out, even after clearing the cookies.
|
What browser are you using? Do you have it set to accept cookies from this site?
Are you getting logged off from any other sites, or just this one? |

It's some sort of setting with your browser, Naveed. Lots of Firefox users aren't having a problem, which would lead me to believe it's a problem with your browser or your computer rather than our site. Without actual access to your system, though, it's hard to suggest a fix.

Here's my suggestion (sorry for not posting this sooner, Tabacco) - check again and you'll find TWO sets of cookies for AG'ers, not just the one more obvious set. Delete both, sign in.

Glad to help! Sorry I didn't post that sooner. :)

I'm having the same problem, but only on my laptop which I barely use to browse. Thanks for the cookie suggestion. I'll try it tomorrow.
