I installed Safari out of interest, that was quickly replaced with horror lol. It's absolutely amazingly bad.

I still stick by Firefox and occasionally use IE7 for sites with lazy designers :p

I also get this problem.

And i agree Safari sucks with a passion. I would not use that browser if someone paid me.

Ok, now I third you guys on Safari.

I second boRg on Safari.  If you're "lucky" enough to get it installed, you'll be met with a clumsy, difficult to read, slimmed-down excuse for a browser.  I only use it to render web sites the way they'd be seen on a Mac.  Certainly, not good enough for day to day use.
 
Opera is a good alternative, but it is the only browser that costs $$$. IE7 is the winner in my book.  Even Firefox was quick to adopt some of IE7's tabbed browsing features (close button on each tab).
 
Deleting cookies was a weekly problem for me on IE6. Now, I only have had to do it once on IE7 this year. Only because of the forum upgrade, I think a cookie crumb was left behind from v8.

Safari, are you mad, have you tried the windows version? It was shockingly bad and buggy on the MAC and now just the same on Windows just with loads more security holes.

If you want an alternative to Firefox try Opera.

Apple need to stick to what they are good at, taking crappy sounding portable music players and making them the next cool thing to be seen with.

Firefox isn't that much better... you always get that annoying " do you want to restore or continue your previous session" prompt.

Maybe Safari? the Safari 3 Public Beta version is already out and its available on windows machines ]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:04:13 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-forgets-frequently_topic23954_post125542.html#125542 <![CDATA[Forum "forgets" frequently : It&#039;s a one-time thing, apparently....]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-forgets-frequently_topic23954_post125541.html#125541 Author: RadioActiveLamb

It's a one-time thing, apparently.  Maybe subtle differences in the cookie between v8 and v9. 
 
This seems to have fixed the problem.  One thing I noticed though is the quick-login doesn't store a cookie on the client.  In the past, the quick-login caused the computer to remember me across sessions.  Now, it forgets after I close the browser. Is there a setting I can change on the forum to force the quick login to save a cookie?

great...  I haven't had to do that since IE6. 
 
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot.

If you use IE cookies are always a problem.

Mocrosoft say on their own sites the way to fix the cookie index is to first delete all cached internet files, then delete all stored cookies. This resets IE's cookie index.
