I have always had one problem with WCG forum.

From my work network, we have to go through some proxy to access the internet. The problem is however, when for example pushing the Recent Threads button, it might show you few months old posts as the most recent. And usually you can't see the most recent posts at all. This doesn't occur in any other web forum that I've tried.

They are already looking into this , but due to Holydays most probably won´be until middle of next week when they come back to us, so was told by Kevin in an e- mail with copy to Uplinger and Nelsoc


Could be sooner ..

This was while you where away Jean


Thanks

Knreed,
Starting from the beginning: I closed the Boinc Manager. In Internet Explorer I selected Internet Options, General, Delete Browsing History,
all boxes checked, and deleted. Also ran CCleaner to delete temp files and cookies. IE version is 8.0.6001.18865. Running Vista SP2, Home Premium with all recent patches/updates.

Opened BOINC Manager (v6.2.28) and selected "Results." Directed to Sign-in page which I did and checked "remember me."

From there, I was sent to "My Statistics." If I use the menu on the left side, I can go to any topic that does not have a > sign, such as Results or My Projects. If I try to go to an item with a > such as Device Manager or History, or if I scroll down and try to select Member Statistics History, I am returned to a sign-in page. Upon signing-in, I go back to My Statistics.

If I go from My Statistics to Results I can return to My Statistics using the IE back button without signing-in again.

I can also get to Device Manager by selecting My Projects then following the link to Device Manager in the first paragraph.

So far, the only way I found to get my daily history is to copy and paste the 14 day or 30 day, etc URL into the browser, then add an "s" to http:// and substitute "secure" for the www. in the address.

In all cases, the "remember me" button appears non functional.
That about sums up the problem. While I have learned to get around the site, it seems I've lost the ability to use BOINC Manager menus and retain my sign-in.

I did notice that in Ccleaner, I have accumulated at least three separate cookies from the website: WorldCommunityGrid.org, another for xxx.org/forums/wcg, and xxx.org/mc Even with those present I still cannot go directly to Results from the BOINC manager without signing-in as previously described.

The remember me depends on a persistent cookie. Usually these get flushed too on exit or was that not the case in your situation, guessing you're talking about IEx? Vaguely remember one can specify which cookies are allowed to be saved for a site... session or permanent.

I had assumed that one of the Microsoft IE security updates had changed my browser settings, but since this is the only website I have problems with, I entered a post when I first saw this thread from Sekerob.

If I'm the only one with problems, it's not worth your time troubleshooting. But if it's a wider problem, maybe it bears looking into.
I've looked all through the browser options and advanced settings. It may be something simple but then again, this is the only place I am having problems signing-in.
