Sorry, Jema, it didn't work.

I closed Safari a couple of times yesterday and tried to see if I would be able to post, and I could.
But this morning I had to clear the cookies again before I could type this reply.
Something to do with it being a different date, perhaps?

At this point you need a Safari expert, it has to be something in the browser settings

Googling "Safari cookie problem" brings up a heck of a lot:

is possibly helpful.

Interesting.
This has only been an issue since the weekend, and Downsizer is the only forum where it happens for me. I use several forums (all myfreeforum types) and they are all OK.
I haven't changed any settings, apart from clearing the cache and cookies on what is now a daily basis.

I have all the updates for Safari.

Is it still happening for other people?

Hmmm...

It is I concede odd, but the one change is that downsizer has gone over to the more flexible myfreeforum cookie system!

Would the problem, therefore, be solved, if we deleted n?

I couldn't log in in firefox - kept changing my password then checked with ie and it worked.

i then deleted the sites cookies on firefox - the found my way here

Kept me off for a while though ....

may an admin be could do a little hack on the login form and edit text on login screen to link to instructions to sort out login problems.

ages since i played with phpBB in its previous incarnations - but i seem to remember that sort of thing wasn't hard to do.

I'm sure you losing a lot of non computer literate types.

I'm trying to log in via my new tablet and it won't let me.
I have been logging in automatically for so long I'm not even sure any longer what my password is, so I can't change it via my laptop as I need to confirm it first.

Having tried to log in 5 times already on the tablet it has now told me to go away for 30 minutes

Can anyone help me?

Hit the 'help I've forgotten my password' link on the log in page and Admin should send you a new password.
