    The site address has changed, Mel :-

    When you log in next time click on the box that says "remember me" just below your user name and all should be good.




    All the best Mick

    Have done that but every time log out it asks for my name and password, even when i do all that I sometimes have to do it again.

    I'm getting a bit pissed of with it sometimes

    Cheers anyway Mick

    The redirect url after that is invalid. That’s why it’s not saving the cookie. This is because it’s an http redirect from an https address which browsers now will bounce.

    Is there’s a reason why http isn’t being redirected to https in htaccess like most sites?

    Btw there’s no padlock on https so something isn’t quite right with the cert setup.

    Have you deleted any cookies to the 'old' site address ?
    If saved as a favourite delete that shortcut as well.

    Write that down.
    Close this page, clear your history, delete any links to the BBS from your favourites/bookmarks. You DON'T need to clear cookies OR passwords.

    Open a new page, type in the address you wrote down and enter (if autofill offers up ANY options you haven't deleted ALL previous links). You will need to log in again. Once in, either save this page as a favourite/bookmark or navigate to your preferred landing page and save that.
    Job done.

    Hello well being a pita I am affraid that the instructions from Chris, thank you, may as well be in Chinese, would someone be kind enough to explain in a simple manor what to do please.
    IE: close page. clear your history, delete any links etc.
    I use firefox - click on airgunbbs and I am here. that is all I know to do.
    Thank you, I know I am useless so many apologies.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Doesn't work.

    Browsers now make suggestions based upon your previous history even if you clear your history and cookies. So if I start typing a for airgunbbs it gets there first, drops the https and www. and throws me to the non www. airgunbbs instead, for which a cookie isn't being saved and I have to log in again.

    All it needs is the htaccess file fixing, it's like day 1 stuff.

    It's not like the site is https compliant anyway... there's no padlock icon.

    Thank you Chris,

    That seems to have worked for me and I'm a numpty when it comes to anything more technical than flicking a light switch.

    Kind regards,

    I was getting the error, but then the penny dropped. I was using a shortcut on the New Tab in chrome, that gets added automatically based on common useage. The URL for it was http not https I changed the URL in the shortcut & BINGO!
    Thanks Chris.
