July 3, 200817 yr I just bought a new computer which runs the new graphics amazingly. :thumbsup: B But when I log into Tip.it on Firefox it will just log me out right after I'm redirected. How do I fix that?
July 3, 200817 yr Are you accepting cookies from the site? If you're not you won't be able to login. To check to go Tools > Options > Privacy and make sure Accept cookies is checked.

July 3, 200817 yr Are you accepting cookies from the site? If you're not you won't be able to login. To check to go Tools > Options > Privacy and make sure Accept cookies is checked. Telling them to accept all cookies, instead of telling them how to control it themself? ARE YOU MAD?!?!?!? :wall: I just bought a new computer which runs the new graphics amazingly. :thumbsup: B But when I log into Tip.it on Firefox it will just log me out right after I'm redirected. How do I fix that? Lep, in your FireFox Cookie Options ("Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies")... Eliminate the current Exceptions for "tip.it", "www.tip.it", and "forum.tip.it" ... then create the following Exceptions for those either while browsing or via the dialogue you're already at... "tip.it" -- "Allow" (not "Allow for Session") "www.tip.it" -- "Allow" (not "Allow for Session") "forum.tip.it" -- "Allow" (not "Allow for Session") ...And as for the rest of your cookies, make sure you set it up to "ask me (you) every time" for any sites that you have not set-up an exception for. Leave the rest of your settings alone, unless any of them are causing you trouble. :ugeek: I hope that helps! :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V.

July 3, 200817 yr D V you can't be serious. You set up to allow of deny cookies per site? Cookies are completely safe, allowing all cookies might fix the problem instead of going through all of that. Besides, that's the settings that most people already have on.

I've had e-mail spam result from it in the past. (Spam that's never gone away since, BTW... and no way to put a total end to it. I've checked the headers and everything, it goes out of the USA.) So now I have the browser ask me in regard to any cookie that I haven't made a rule about. :| Trust me, paranoia is good. : ~D. V.

Cookies are just little pieces of data containing a line or two of info, info that, once set, can only be retrieved by the domain that set them. It is impossible for a cookie to do anything malicious to your computer/email, unless you consider saving login sessions malicious.. :wall: Last.fm Signature Overlays
July 4, 200817 yr Seriously Devnull, it's a wonder you haven't been banned from T&C for giving clearly wrong advice multiple times. Cookies are not harmful. All you're doing is confusing the OP more or trying to get him to submit into something that is pointless and a waste of time.
July 4, 200817 yr I guess you haven't heard about what advert sites do with cookies that they get to place on your machine. Cookies are in No way a "Threat" to your machine, generally most tracking cookies track your browsing patterns over a small network or series of websites, Thier are no super cookies that can keylog or install software on your machine or watch everything you do, never seen any in 4 years of dealing with clients in 4 years. They are for the most part harmless and needed to use any website with a username password certificate. I recommend security to thousands of customers daily and never would I ever tell them to set up cookie permissions for one site a time. Amazon, ebay and many other legit sites issue tracking cookies to track what you do customise the site for you I've had e-mail spam result from it in the past. (Spam that's never gone away since, BTW... and no way to put a total end to it. Your ISP has poor spam blocking controls, I know on average a customer of ours gets 1-4 junk mail a day that is unsolicited, and catching spam is a pricey and compex manner. You in no way have ever gotten spam from a cookie, A cookie cannot harvest your email address and send it out, albeit yes for the sake of arguing gmail's cookie would know your gmail address. There is a way to stop spam and not lose messages, and an intelligent ISP does so with a well staffed team dedicated to it. I know my personal email, I use for buisness, many sites (Ebay,amazon,naxcom,beckett,target,walmart , countless other merchants) have this email, I may get 1 spam message every 2 days, its possible a website read your browser headers, or you just had spyware. I suggest you going to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd22 and clicking proceed and taking the browser header test, among other tests. Trust me, paranoia is good. : Paranoia with computers is usually, no offense, out of ignorance because those are the customers who install 3 or 4 firewalls because 20/20 scared them. To be efficient with computers and support thousands of users on a daily basis you need to know the difference betweeen using and abusing the setting. ~Das "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."Abraham Lincoln
July 4, 200817 yr You can choke on cookies. :cry: :thumbsup: exactly!! And I bet all the people saying cookies are harmless use Ad-Aware or Spybot S & D :P
July 5, 200817 yr <<<Quote Snip>>> Are you trying to say you don't accept cookies? I accept what I need and/or want. (Otherwise I couldn't close my browser window by accident and come right back to the forum while logged into Tip.It...) The rest dies. : As I said before, I have my browser (FireFox, FTW) set up to prompt me for any cookies that I haven't set a rule up for... -.- And anyone concerned about 3rd-party? Prior to IE5.5/IE6, I didn't have control of that. And I only found out about FireFox after IE6's existence. It was the lack of control of 3rd-party, of course, that resulted in that spam I mentioned. (Yeah, should have been more detailed about that before, sorry. :oops: ...) Now....... 3rd-party is auto-blocked (as it should be) and 1st-party is on prompt (including session cookies) ... Being suspicious paid off for me. 8-) Finally, let's drop the whole rant @ me, and hope that the original poster has stuck around enough to understand how to better control their cookies. :) (@ Nadril --- Nice video... good sarcasm... but a bit overboard. I'm not out to kill all cookies, only the ones that are actually bad, such as ones with poison. Any chance you can find a video like that?) ~D. V.
