I have two small issues with this forum:

- I don't get email notifications anymore for the threads to which I have contributed (since about a week or so)

- whenever I want to write something, I have to log in, the setting "remember me" (or whatever it's called) doesn't work. And yes - cookies may reside on my computer ;-)

Nothing really serious, but would be nice if it could be looked after some time.

Cheers
Chris

Check out the URL when you log in. Both the www.portablefreeware.com/forums and portablefreeware.com/forums will work. The first one (with www) is linked from the main page, but for some reason I can only successfully log in to the second one (without www.)

I was talking about the situation when I want to post. Reply or new thread - leads me to the address without the www.

I have actually no problem to log-in, but the function "Log me on automatically each visit" doesn't seem to work, so I have to do log-in each time anew once I have closed my browser.

Hope it's clearer now. Not a big deal anyways.

Cheers
Chris

Just tested both function with Firefox Portable 2.0 and they seem to be working properly.

Created test post as Andrew, login as another test user, reply to post, got my notification email.

Any chance a newly-installed spam filtering system is siphoning off your mails?

Login as Andrew, close browser, start browser again, remembered as Andrew.

Anyone got the same problem as cmmehl?[/quote]

Darnit. Now it works. Of course. Shouldn't have complained - Murphy's law. Could the reason be that I use proxies sometimes, and sometime not, but always on the same computer?

Anyway, sorry for the false alarm. For the notifications, we will see if they work - sometimes they do, sometimes not.

Greetings
Chris

Yuck!
Settings didn't survive the night - I had to log in again this morning!

Don't understand what's going on here. But it seems I'm the only one with this issue ... I can actually live with it, FF reliably fills in my credentials, so it's only a minor delay. But strange it is ...

Cheers
Chris
