marco_ruggiero Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 For a day, I have been unable to log in on my home computer. I am able to log in on computers outside, (i.e.; work). Do you have any recommendations to solve this? A quck response would be most helpful. Is it something with my personal settings, or somehow P.N related?

bobatkins Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Photo.net doesn't know or care which computer you are using. There's no reason why (from the photo.net end) logging in from one computer is different from logging in from any other computer as long as you are using the same user ID and password. That fact that they are using different IP addresses should have no effect. (The one exception might be if you happen to be using an IP that has been used by spammers in the past and so has been blocked, but that's highly unlikely). While it shouldn't have any effect, you could try clearing out your browser cookies. That has been known to fix problems in the past, though I've no idea why it works!

frank_skomial Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 You just need to enable cookies in your web browser. I assume you know how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco_ruggiero Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Bob, thanks for taking the time, and I did what Frank suggested and by enabling the cookies worked. Thanks again for taking the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Well, that will teach me not to ASSUME that people have cookies enabled! They're enabled by default on all browsers as far as I know. And, yes, you can't login unless your "cookie" is good. That's why clearing out old (defective?) ones sometimes cures problems - or enabling them if they are disabled.

fochoa Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 With IE (<---hehehehehehe), there is a problem here on PN and that browser sometimes, go to internet options, and select erase cookies, then you close the browser and open it and login again!

bobatkins Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I'm not sure the problem is with IE. For example I always use IE6 (Win XP) to view photo.net. I'm here every day for many hours. I never have any cookie related problems and I've never had to clear and reset my photo.net cookie. I know cookies do sometimes get screwed up on some users PCs, but I don't know why that happens. It's probably something with their whole system configuration rather than any specific problem with IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fochoa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yah that. And cookies enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
