It seems to have rectified itself.

I haven't changed anything and it came good.

I figured you were just having a glitch.

No problem logging in, but my previous problem of having to re-enter my details every so often despite ticking the "log me on automatically" is now worse than before and happens almost each time I start a browser session as opposed to every couple of days. Could they be related? (Done all the usual stuff, and same problem on 2 different PC's using multiple different browsers!)

For me, I even get the logon prompt if I click a link to a topic update which I'm subscribed to, even if I'm already logged on and the browser is still open...and I see they're in the format of <viewtopic.php\?f=15&t=8964&p=91069&e=91069> so they should be OK, shouldn't they?

Hey everyone,
If you are having troubles with login and you are using internet explorer I recommend using firefox. It should fix all your problems whilst keeping you more secure when surfing the net:

Well ... I'm using Mozilla Forefox and the log-in issue seems to remain. I've cleared Private Data and it still seems to hate me logging in. I usually enter by bookmarking 'View New Posts' ... now I have to go to the Index where my login details are already entered and signing in.
Cheers...

Firstly, some stuff simply doesn't work as well in Firefox as in IE so that's not an option for everyone.

Second, I have the problem across IE, Firefox and Chrome. On two different machines, on both home and corporate connections.

Why is it then that only a small percentage are having issues? Thats what I don't understand. I can access the site from multiple devices and have no issues.
