Since the change of the forum I have to log in everytime I come here. I do have the 'Stay Logged In' block ticked. My browser (FireFox) does have the login info stored and it will enter it, so it's fairly easy, but the stay logged in should work so I don't have to do this each time.

For almost three weeks now I have been getting "the page cannot be displayed" . Not being a patient man, I just try another day. Today I copied the make sure yada yada yada is correct and pasted it, and lo and behold here I am.

Try clearing cache and cookies and be sure you use a new bookmark not an old one.

Did that yesterday afternoon and all seems well this morning. Evidently there were previous cookies from the older version forum stored that hosed up remembering the login.

Thanks...........
 
When I am on my Dell laptop in hearth.com/talk, I cannot open the alerts. On my Mac, I do not have that problem.
They are not there or dont open? Do you get error? What browser?
 
Done that, nothing. With Google Chrome same issue.
Interesting.

I use Chrome on a Windows PC and it works fine. At home I use Chromium ( open source version of Chrome ) on a Linux PC and it works fine too. I gave up on FF when they started releasing updates every other day it seemed like.

Tried on Chrome, still same issues. The Dell is brand new.
