Please could somebody help me. I log into the Cyprus 44 Forum then may wish to open up a thread, read what it says - when I come out of it I go straight back into 'log in' again - is there something I am doing wrong. Have used this site for a couple of years now but this only started happening about 1 week ago. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

The 'remembering' of your password is related to cookies on your browser. You should try deleting these cookies and see if that fixes the problem. How you do this depends on the browser you are using and the verion of that browser. Some browsers may only provide easy tools to delet all cookies saved and this will affect all remebered passwords, not just those for this site. Some browsers will allow you to delete just those cookies that relate to cyprus44. Or you can manually do this but that is more complicated.



Another appraoch would be to just bypass the problem by trying a different browser all togeather.

Dear Erolz, This really is a serious question, but what is a cookie and what is a browser. Can you tell me where on the screen they are then I can go on. But thank you for helping me.

browser = google , firefox etc etc, cookies are stored in the browser and need to be deleted , clear your browsing history , this should help , just follow the on screen options .

Browser is the software / program that you use to look at the world wide web, that is web pages like this one. You most likely are using Internet Explorer but there are other borwsers that do the same thing like firefox, chrome and others.



Cookie is a small piece of information that a given website stores on your computer, that the website can use to control various things including passwords.



For some links about how to delete cookies on different versions of Internet Explorer have alook here
