Message 80496 - Posted: 28 Aug 2017, 8:31:36 UTC

When I log in, I check the box to keep me logged in.

The last few times I've visited the message boards, I don't have a "New Thread" button visible. If I click on Log In, I am told I am already logged in. Returning to the message board, I still don't have a New Thread button. I have to log out, then log in again to be able to start a thread.

This is repeatable, although it takes some time between logging in a returning to see the problem.

THanks

I think not. I'm using Microsoft Edge, which doesn't have much in the way of cookie control. I have it set to inhibit third party cookies, but that has been set since I upgraded to Windows 10 2 years ago. The forum login problem is recent.

I came back to this board today with Edge. I have no New Thread button on the forum page. On this thread, I have Reply buttons, but clicking on Reply takes me to the login page which tells me I'm already logged in.

I fire up Chrome and see exactly the same behavior.

I'm in Chrome now. I logged out, then logged in and now I can post.

Next time I'll try Firefox.
