i've had trouble too.. not to log in, but it seems like the forum automatically logs me off (last few days)
and when i come back to login the browser seems to have forgotten the user name/pwd

True.. but i don't think i've ever deleted my cookies even once since i got this machine a year and a half back :D
and it's only for Nikonites..
all other sites have remained logged in.
i thought some Firefox update may have caused this, but it's happened every time i open a tab to Nikonites

PS - maybe this needs another thread, but am just not able to quote any replies
i just tried quoting you Jack 3 times, refreshing, logged out & logged in and still own't quote

I just had to clear my DSN cache to get access to the site. First time this happens to me. I thought it was because I accessed the site from my sister's ISP provider for the last week.

That's definitely a cache issue. Your browser is using old files. ctrl+f5 or cache clearing should solve it.

That shouldn't happen anymore - let me know if it does.

Well whatever you did, worked
i logged off & opened a new tab and i was still logged in.
restarted & opened a tab, logged me right in.

And it brings me to the forum home page as well :)

didn't clear any cache though!

Seems the past week safari can't find nikonites server except after many many tries and now today I can't see a single photo. Every thread I open there is nothing but blue question mark boxes?? Anyone else having this problem?

Same for me this morning on my work computer using Google chrome.
At home on my mac it is very intermittant. I get a day that everything is good, then the next day I cant log on. I can clear the cache, shut down the computer and restart, sometimes it takes me 2 days to get back on.
I can try google chrome, firefox, still no good. When its good and ready, I can log back on.
Clearing the cache on a regular basis is getting a bit annoying, as I loose the cookies for all the other forums and sites I use as well. Nikonites is the only site causing me these issues.

I have just started getting these issues on my PC laptops , the site is seeming to forget my log in details ! However my iPad and iPhone get straight in !!! I will try clearing the cache tomorrow and see if that works ! I even tried the forgotten password route to end up in the same place , nowhere ! I will update in the morning on the PC issue ! Cheers all :cool:

I had major problems about 2 weeks ago. Took about 3 hrs with my ISP service person and they finally advised me that my best solution was to change DNS numbers and use Google DNS. Since then it works like a charm.

Here are their DNS numbers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Try replacing your DNS # from System pref<connection<advanced<DNS, click on the + in the bottom left of the window with your old numbers (note them down before you change them so you can come back to them if it doesn't work).

Good luck

Thanks Marcel.
When I couldnt log on again yesterday, I was looking around for the DNS on my mac, I didnt change it, but when I tried to log back onto Nikonites, I got on first try and its been good ever since. But I am expecting it to give me trouble again.

What does changing the DNS actually do to my computer ?
