Windows 7 - forum password needs constant reset |

forum password needs constant reset For about the past week or 10 days I keep having issues with logging into these forums. The login responds @ every login, that my password is wrong.
I go through the password reset routine (email), get back onto the forums, change my password to something I'll remember, and at the next login have to go through this proceedure all over again.
Is it just me?

Do you use a program like CCleaner, SpyBot, etc that may be wiping out your cookies?
Also, if you clear your history often, you may have to uncheck an option clearing cookies. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 1520 (Laptop)/ Home (Desktop) OS Windows 7 x64 / Same CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 / Intel Core i7 930 Motherboard Intel 945 / Asus P6X58D-E Memory 4GB / 6GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS / ASUS 1GB Sound Card Whatever Dell gave me :-( / Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 15.4" LCD / Crappy CRT Mouse Microsoft Presenter (Bluetooth) PSU N/A / OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Case N/A / Antec 900 Cooling Air Hard Drives Seagate 500GB SATA; 7200 RPM / Seagate 1TB SATA; 7200 RPM |

thanks for the suggestions.
I regularily dump my cookies and clear my cache.
I dont touch stuff like CCleaner, ever. I like to keep my computer in working order.
Wiping out cookies is a good thing btw. They're only required while on the site.
The problem seems to have gone away...
so I'm going to chaulk it up to my poor eyesight, memory, and 2 fingered typing nailing me one at a time. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Selfbuilt OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU i7 2600k Motherboard asus P8Z68-V LE Memory 16GB (4x4) corsair vengeance Graphics Card Intel HD3000 iGPU / AMD HD6870 1024MB Sound Card bitstreamed to an Onkyo 609 Monitor(s) Displays Asus VE278 27" LED / Bravia EX7 60" LED Screen Resolution native 1080p x2 Keyboard Dell Mouse logitech m505 PSU 650w Antec Case NZXT tempest evo Cooling air/stock Hard Drives 4x 2TB int. + 2x 2TB external and a SSD for the boot drive.

At least with Vista, so probably, also with Win 7, any site that you have in favorites, will not be affected when you dump cookies. This seems to be working for me with 7. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

The use of cleaners will certainly require you to log on again, but the logon password is, as far as I am aware, embedded in the site. It should not change because cookies have been dleted.
I think your two finger problem was probably the better solution. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Three desktops and one laptop with good specs..
