Well i have a weird cookie problem i guess…
little info about my system : **windows 2000 professional and internet explorer 6.0**
yesterday i manually deleted my temporary internet files, then cleard the history, cookies and cleared forms and passwords.
\*\*I restarted my system, opened internet explorer, typed [www.kirupaforum.com](http://www.kirupaforum.com)
and i got my style setting (blue steel by E.geek), then i got a msg notification about a private message.(wich by the way comes everytime and show no msg in my inbox) and this theme goes off when i click on any section (random, battle and stuff) and my cookie never gets activate,untill and unless i post a reply, \*\*normal login helps me just to see my CP and when i want to reply to any post, i have to click on post reply and then again i have to sign in and finally when i see my answer posted there,it shows me online.Everything was working fine wid explorer 5.5.
Any suggestions ?

Hmm, go to Tools | Internet Options. Click the Security tab and then press the Custom Level button. Make sure you have Cookies enabled.
That may fix it :crazy:

Have you tried SpyBot? That’ll rip out cookies that are embedded deep into your system. Just a guess.

What browser are you using? Can’t be IE because with IE you can’t roll the browser back.

DigitalPimp, we can rollback to previous version if we dont try to repair the version, try this…
as u get version 5 wid windows 2000, install version 6 or 5.5 and after u restart, go to add remove programmes and try to uninstall that new version… u ll get a msg box wid 3 radio button…one of them is restore to previous version.

This program is mostly for removing ad cookies in code, but when I used it (it gives you the options on what you want ripped out) it listed crap I never even knew was on my computer.
This link also has a bunch of related software on the same page avail for download. I hope it helps ya!!
BTW - How did you do that rollOver effect on your footer; is it a mc prototype, or a bunch of buttons? I can’t figure it out!! It’s really cool!!

1 more BTW - To find Spybot stuff, just put in ‘spybot’ in Google, you’ll get tons of stuff!!:beam:

Talking about ‘Spy’. Removing Spyware from your system doesn’t hurt, and, it improves your internet connection speed, too =) Use Ad-Aware to remove all spyware from your system. It can be downloaded [here](http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10045910.html).

strange problem you have there jaz! I know it sounds daft, but have you tried chaniging your username? Or even creating a new account! My friend had this problem on the rahindeed forum, but when he changed his name it was ok.

You can ask a mod nicely to change it for you. There is no way to do it yourself that I am aware of.
Cheers!
