    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.

    its not an issue per se is it

    just the op not wanting to enter details every time they log in

    i say try the beta 3 with auto form filling and itll be sorted

    I thought the issue was more about having to log in every time they wanted to use the site? i.e. they kept getting logged out even though it is set to remember them. That's where the problem with the cookies came in.

    hmmm well i read it different but reading it again shows both could be correct

    op can you expand on your issue? ie are you logged out during use or are you just tiresome of entering details when you want to log in each day?

    Me again! I've just noticed on google chrome options "under the hood" the cookie settings are set to block all cookies. Could this be the reason why? And if so which other option should I choose ie. allow all cookies or restrict how third party cookies can be used? Which option do others with google chrome use?

    Mine was set to allow all cookies, and if yours are blocked, that would explain why you have to keep logging in! Change it to allow, and then see what happens.

    Just curious, but have they gotten rid of the spyware component yet and that 'googleupdater.exe' that *constantly* runs whether you kill it or not?

    Thanks.
    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

    Ah, there's the google chrome buster that I knew would come along! It's sure better than IE and faster than Firefox or Safari. Who cares if it keeps itself up to date or logs what you search for? If you use google in any browser, your search will be logged anyway, so that's not specific to Chrome. So why do you worry, unless you've something to hide?

    And don't go calling it spyware; it isn't.

    well not true safari 4 is just as fast as chrome 3

    different benchmarks are showing them better in different respects

    but i still prefer chrome

    once you got to it its hard to go back
