Auto Login

Post by The Leper Fairy »

The first time I came here I was on my dad's computer, so I had it auto login there. But now I want it to do that on this computer but everytime I click that button, it doesn't do anything and still logs in on my dad's. How do I make it auto login on this computer?

It might be that your computer is set not to accept cookies. If you're using explorer, at the top go to "Tools" then "Internet Options" and then the "Security" tab. If your protection level is set any higher than medium, you'll have to tell it which sites to allow them from (I'd explain how to do it, but it's not an option available on my work comp, and I don't quite remember it by heart. the button to go to it should be on the same window as the security settings, though. then just type in the name of the site (www.kevinswatch.ihugny.com) and hit "always allow"). Or you could just change your settings to medium.

Hope that helps.

What are cookies? I have heard the term before but I just don't know what they are.

I put it to med-low and it says I am logged in at the bottom, but it also says "Login to check your personal messages" and whatnot. And so I guess that didn't work becuase it wants me to type in a username

From what I understand, cookies are little bits of info from websites that are saved on your computer, storing user info and such like that... kind of like (but not really) a hand stamp at a club. Some people don't want their hand stamped at every club they go to, so they don't accept them, but that means the bouncer doesn't recognize you when you come back so you gotta pay the cover again.

The only two other things I think that can cause the problems are firewalls (don't ask me; never used one) and not clicking the little box under the login that says "remember me."
