I'm having trouble - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheGreatPretender · 07-24-2004, 03:14 PM

can someone tell me why I suddenly have to login everytime I reply to a post , go to the random boards, or view someone's profile? i switched the browse board with cookies option to no because this box that came up suggested it, but evidently that's not the problem because i still have to constantly log in.

You want cookies, it keeps track of where you are on the internet, and saves information like log in passwords.

my browser isn't set up for cookies though so i had to change that option to no.

Did you try clearing out your files/cache? That should MAYBE straighten it out.

ok....i don't know why but it's fine now.

i think it's because i edited my options. thanks for the tips anyways!

No prob

If you're on Internet Explorer, it's Tools > Internet Options. In the General tab, there's a "Delete Cookies" and "Delete Files" button...you can click on both and it'll clear everything out. If you want to, you can also click on "Clear History".

you need to setup your browser to accept first-party cookies - that's WHERE your Sitcoms Online login info is stored - ie, no cookies = no login

go back to the Tools, Internet Options, and turn the cookies back on, or just reset your security level to Medium or Medium-High
