| As my HDD died, I'm in a position to test the forum on a completely clean install. I am on Windows XP, with all the updates added, using IE7. I have installed one piece of non-microsoft, non-hardware related software - PC Tools Firewall Plus. The forums do not keep me logged in.  If it is the firewall, then I apologise (though this is the only forum that suffers from this problem). If not, then I stand by my comment that it undermines the excellent work at Micromart.

So here I am on an iMac, using Safari - just to see if things have changed much.
And the answer is 'no'. First click after logging in, appears to log me out (though I get to see my name in the members list down the bottom).
Hope you're all well here.

Again, did you make sure "Remember Me" was ticked?
But, of course 
Pip pip.

I had this problem a couple of weeks ago, wouldn't keep me logged in beyond one page. I would login (even tried with remeber me), it would log me in, show me logged in, but after I went to another page or tried to post it would ask me to login again.
I just used cookie manager extension in firefox to delete all the forum.micromart.co.uk cookies and it seemed to solve the problem.

| This has been a recurring problem, but I've no idea whether it's an InstantForum.NET problem or just this Forum. It is the only site I know of which keeps not only the usual cookies, but one for every topic and forum area you've visited here too.
These take the form of IF_TopicsReadnnnIF_ForumsReadnnn
Where nnn is a tag for that particular topic/post or forum groupThese cookies are not removed when you log out either; and it appears that there is some sort of cookie limit which when hit produces the failed login. I would guess that it would be a fairly easy thing to fix once proven.

I only have 1 .micromart.co.uk cookie on this browser (Safari on iMac).
I can click through my control panel to change my settings, but as soon as I click on, for example, 'Recent Posts' I am logged out.
I have made no changes to Safari at all, it is as it comes in the box (as it were) with the iMac.
Perhaps it is the point where the forum tries to create all these cookies that it fails and logs me out?
Would be interesting if someone could reset my message settings (effectively removing my entire 'read message' history).
