    Since the board changed I have to sign in every single time I visit, even though I have asked to 'be remembered'
    The new system does not seem to be able to retain 'cookies'?
    Anyone else having the same problem?
    It is very frustrating .......

    If you click onto any given area, e.g. General discussion, you'll find you're logged in again - I'm having similar issues!

    As I understand it, it's because you still have cookies from the MyBB site. You need to clear all your cookies and then reboot your PC.

    Go to Tools > Options > Privacy and then either "clear your recent history" or "remove individual cookies" where you go in and delete all the GC cookies.

    I am told this works!

    Getting rid of the old cookies does work, I had the same problem for some time.

    Its not the new system that retains cookies its your own PC, and thats where you need to clear them from.

    It doesn't work for me
    I have cleared all of my old cookies, logged in again, and now, on my return, have had to log in once again
    I think I have had enough :)

    Clearing cookies for JUST this site in Firefox:

    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/...32071-site-migration-issues-2.html#post414721

    Even if you have cleared cookies in Firefox you might want to go-through-the-motions to check you no longer have any cookies that appear to be from "MYBB" (e.g. where "MYBB" is the prefix to the Cookie Name)

    In Chrome to clear the Cookies for a specific site ('coz if you just use OPTIONS and Clear Cookies it will clear them for ALL sites, and you will lose password "memory" and other stuff for everything :( )

    Whilst viewing a Gardeners Corner page Click on the Spanner ICON" then Tools : Developer tools

    When the Developer Tools window appears click on "Resources" and then "Cookies" in the left pane

    You need to click on the arrow-head next to Cookies to expand the tree. I see "www.gardenerscorners.co.uk" and Googleads etc.

    Click on "www.gardenerscorners.co.uk" in the left pane and the Cookies should be listed in the Main / Right pane.

    You can click on a cookie to highlight it, and then press DELETE to remove it. Deleting all of them won;t hurt (but you'll lose any remembered settings)

    You'll notice from my screen-shot that I have some MYBB ones lurking around ...

    Whoopee .... this has worked in so far as Google Chrome is concerned
    Kristens link for Firefox doesn't work, and I am still not remembered on Explorer :(
    Have to keep trying :)

    Whoopee ... now seem to have cured the problem in Explorer by doing something very similar to Kristen's advice on the Chrome browser

    Life sure is interesting as one gets older :) :)

    I like life right now - learning more each day that I've ever done in previous years!
