English Chess Forum

Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I've been using Firefox to browse the forum for years with no problems logging in. On Saturday, it starting logging me in for 3 or 4 seconds and then logging me out again, at first intermittently, and now every time. I have no problem logging in when using Internet Explorer.

Make sure it's the latest version (help - updates)

and make sure in tools-options-security the box for remember passwords is ticked?

No, its neither of these. It is up-to-date (version 3.6.8 ) and there can't be a password problem otherwise I wouldn't see the "You have been successfully logged in" page for a few seconds".

I've asked Carl to have a look and see what the problem might be

Talk about the cure being worse than the disease!
