Important note from TCAdmin regarding logging on

Post by Graham Banks »

Hi Graham,

I can try reconfiguring the board's cookie—it got corrupted early last month and things haven’t been quite the same since then although I restored it to the recommended settings. Any time a cookie change is made it will cause some strangeness logging in and everyone will need to clear their copy of the old cookie afterward. If you all would like to pass the word (maybe a note in all three main forums with the instructions for IE and Firefox) I can make the configuration change about 12 hours from now, or at whatever time you suggest.

The file to look for in the IE temporary internet file list is typically cookie:[PC login ID]@talkchess.com.

-Sam-
I'll ask TCAdmin to go ahead within the next 24 hours.

Regards, Graham.

I reconfigured the board's cookie, and things seem to have improved based on my testing. If you are one of those who had difficulties logging in over the last month let me know if these settings work better for you.

Thanks,

Thanks Sam, it's working perfectly for me now :D

I hope all who had problems with logging in or auto-login are finding it trouble free as well.

Best,
Terry

Me too, although I did have to re-logon (in the middle of making a post, at that) to, I guess, get the cookies right. To the thread view users, unless new issues arise, this sticky should soon be gone.
