I added something called VBSEO which is a superb search-engine optimization tool for the forums. Trouble is, it turns all of the URLs into "text friendly" ones. The old links still work fine, but they may give trouble when the cookies are not updated, or you do not click the "remember me / keep me logged in button".

I'm a paranoid internet user.

I have a firefox add-on called better privacy that removes all of the flash cookies on my hard drive (in addition to firefox doing it as standard - firefox seems to leave the main index cookie for some reason or other). In addition I have another add-on called noscript that stops script executions without my permission.

Peach Parts is on my white list.

So in effect each time I log on to the site by typing in your address I arrive with a clean never been used before system. I don't use bookmarks much - certainly not for the 3 places I visit on the internet - no point.

I click on "shop forum" and then type in my user name and then my password.

It is very boring and mechanical! I don't use any help programs to log me in - I don't even use a commonly typed words utilities - neither do I use auto fill - or remember passwords... I have never used remember me...

I have logged on twice this morning. On each occasion I got through in one go.

Yesterday I had to type in my user name - then password - (press return)

I got the welcome XXXX thank you for logging in screen...

...and then It was as though I was not logged in.

No quick reply boxes at the bottom of threads - just not logged in!

So I retyped my user name and password and whey hey - logged in!



At times - perhaps at busy times? - there seems to be a delay in the system. I can't tell for sure here but that seems to be the case from where I'm sitting!
