Title: bookmark?
Post by: Wiley on May 14, 2009, 06:56:25 PM
Ok THis might sound a little strange to some of you,  but I am totally confused.  I had this site bookmarked since Christmas.  Just last week my bookmark disapeared.  I know I am a little illeterate at times.  The  new address had already been spoken about and said I wouldn't have to change my bookmark.  Well I thought no problem.  I just typed in the new address and wah la I was here.  But I came under a guest.  So I typed in me id and password & said save forever.  I got in no problem.  But everytime I come back it said the same thing as a guest.  It would not remember me.  I hit the home button.  And it said welcome Wiley. So I booked marked that page. SAme as home.  It will not remember me. But as soon as I click on home again it does.  Not a big problem but just don't understand why it won't remember me when I click on the bookmark.  And after bookmarking the new page it still won't remember me until I hit home.  I can bookmark home and still come up as guest when I go back.  Any help would be welcomed.

Thanks P.J. aka (Wiley)

It sounds like a cookies problem. What version of browser are you using?

Enable cookies in Firefox by selecting Preferences from the Edit menu and clicking Privacy. Then put a checkmark in the box where it says "Accept cookies from sites".

Or, if you're paranoid like me, leave it un-checked and click the Exceptions button. Make an exception for bossbr.net and click Allow.
