[Alex Brecher 10,515]

We've recently received quite a few complaints from LBT members about login issues. We've made some modifications to the forums and request that you follow these directions if you're having login issues:

Hi: I have followed the instructions. I have e mailed a few times that I am having difficulty in my e mail. When I get an e mail notification of a response to my post, I click on the link and I am opened to that post, however, when I want to post another answer I receive an automatic answer to log on.

I have checked the box "remember me" and it doesn't. What do I have to do to have the website allow me to answer a post that I have entered from the email link? Doddie

Just want to post that I followed instructions and my problems seem to be corrected. the website is remembering me. Hope the email link works. Will soon seem. Doddie

This issue happened to me for a while and what I did to fix it is:

I logged in to the site and checked the remember me box.

Then logged off of the website, then went to clear my cache and browsing history.

Then when I logged back on, i haven't had any issues whatsoever.

I repeat these steps any time I need to clear my cache now just incase it is going to happen again.

Hope this helps.

Hi Thanks your instructions are exactly correct. I managed to find a link that told me what to do and it worked. Thanks for responding. Doddie

Will this affect other websites with saved information?

[gadgetlady 4]

I should clarify: if I follow the steps, will other sites for which I have passwords saved, etc. also be cleared?

[Doddie63 6]

No everything remained the same. Doddie

Is there a reason the chat isn't working for me today? Any other time it does - By the way I clear the Cookies and history everytime I get off the computer so that shouldn't be the issue
