getting onto the site

[brownstar]

has anyone else been having difficulty getting onto the pprune site. I have been trying on and off for about 3 days and this is the first time i have managed to get on.

Has this affested anyone else?

Yes I've had problems with not being 'cookied' and being misdirected after entering my details

For quite some time now pprune has not been saving my password. I have no trouble with my passwords being saved by many other sites.
On my edit options section I have ticked auto-login-yes,browse board with cookies-yes.
I don't know where the problem lies.

Navy_Adversary,

That is by design. That way people traveling can log in at a public terminal will not have their username and password permanently logged in, should they forget to log out.

Take Care,

I had problem getting back on this morning - after logging on it was returning a 404 - unable to locate www.pprune.org/member.php (could have been members.php).

It's obviously ok now.

nb. I think the cookie thing was done to minimise the number of ppruners forgetting their password.

Sorry, that was my fault. Shouldhave in fact been www.pprune.org/forums/member.php

That's what happens when you tinker under the bonnet and then find you have a bolt or a screw left over after reassembling it all.

Hey! Isn't that normal? (maybe that's why they only let me play with Sims)

Thanks for that, tonight I came on the site and it had remembered my password and I was already logged in, don't we just love computers!

The cookie set by pprune is on a time limit - around 3 days I think so it will "remember" your password for a wee while before prompting you again - previous thread about that here
