I have noticed a few people have had problems with login and sign up.
Sign-in Problems
A: the first problem has been with some members not being able to sign in. This is usually due to either their web-browser or firewall not allowing their computer to accept cookies sent by the board. These small files are sent by the board to Log IP (the board needs to know this but it is hidden from other members) for the board to know your on line/offline status. These are generally deleted once you log out. Unfortunately most advertising/ Pop-ups now use cookies to get onto your computer so are generally blocked which doesn't allow a lot of forums or interactive websites to work correctly anymore
. This can usually be overcome by using the 'trusted websites' feature on a firewall, or 'allow cookies' which will usually fix login problems.
Any other known problems will be posted as soon as they are found, along with possible solutions.
