Total chaos over logging-in, being logged-out, round and round :(

    Well yes, except it doesn't now, for me. I'm logged in all the time. Everywhere. All browsers. Straight to the lounge or anywhere else.

    But if people can go straight to the PS forums, say, but they have to log in if they try and go direct to the Lounge - then they are 'sort of' logged in. It's still mangled.

    The lounge is no access for guests, so a link to it would not be visible unless you are logged in. And if you try to go directly there, the software will ask for credentials before it'll let you in.

    Ah ha! Hasn't it been the case for some time that you don't even see the Lounge link from the PS forums unless you're logged in?

    >oddly enough, my work machine's firefox install goes right in without having to log in again.

    Same here. I haven't experienced any issues from work.

    > maybe because here my 1st page in is the ps win forum and at home it's the ps lounge?

    I think you're on to something. From work I normally go to the Acrobat forums and a few others before hitting the lounge. It's the opposite at home.

    Pjones,
    >Anyway. Went right in without having to sign up.

    Watch out. You must have missed the window. Now you may be totally shut out when the changeover happens. :|

    No, cookies are not "fixed"

    If you loged in recently, your cookie was rewritten from permanent to session... so you have to log in every time... this happened to me at home

    Here at work, where my computer was off over the weekend, my cookies did not hit the "golden window" and I am good to go without a login... or, when I "linked" my ID according to the new rules from home (and cookies were reset) here at work where I of course use the same login ID the cookies were not reset

    Anyway... this will all HOPEFULLY sort itself out in April with the new forum

    Well this Morning I clicked on a link from my laptop which I haven't used in two week had in shop to check PRAM Battery.

    Having a problem with Window Positions and styles not being remembered in finder after installing MissingSync.

    Anyway. Went right in without having to sign up.

    If they fixed the Cookie situation I'd like to give'm a Bear Hug :-)
