Does anyone know why after installing google chrome I keep having to enter my password and username to get onto this site? Is it the site that's changed or something to do with cookies etc. I never had to keep signing in with internet explorer

odd
i never once enter mine
im permanently logged into this computer but need to log on to it on any other pc
ok im using chrome 3 beta with form filling so that may help
and as mentioned you need to uncheck cookies and saved passwords if your clear browsing history
oh and may seem stupid but i know someone who has done it, your not using incognito (!!!!!!) mode are you?Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
Tried that - still the same. I've noticed that trying to log into my virgin account it won't let me because my cookie settings are wrong. but ok with ie. Any ideas?0

Uncheck or check cookies? (previous post said check)
ok well go to the spanner and go to about google chrome and tell me the first number that appears in the series of numbers in the middle of the pop up
it will be a 1 2 or 3
then go to the spanners again(settings menu) and go to clear browsing data
make sure cookies, and saved passwords are unchecked.
however this is only if you regularly delete your history
on another note, do you use ccleaner or something similar?Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
Personally I would check the cookies to delete them, although this would mean that you will lose information that sites store on your computer such as user names and passwords, along with information about what you look for on the site. It may be a bad cookie that's causing it, but then on the downside, it might not help so you'd lose this unnecessarily!
By the way, what version are you using? I'm using version 3 beta as well, fairly stable and installing this might also help.

it is stable
only issue ive noticed is that in certain flash videos (3%) when you go full screen the controls become useless and you need to press esc to go to controls. annoying at the time but so rare. and it is a beta.
It is very quick though.
as for cookies i know what you mean but i leave them and have no problems
besides any good AV will notice a bad cookieBack by no demand whatsoever.0 -

No, you see I was thinking that it might be a corrupt cookie was causing the log in issues, and removing it might solve the problems.Northern Ireland club member No 382 :j0
