Jeremy,

If you are referring to the note that says "Having a problem logging in? Please visit this page to clear all LQ-related cookies."

then you need to know that the removecookies.php page does NOT solve the problem, at least for me on Firefox 3.6.

However, deleting the cookies manually (Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> remove individual cookies, which is, for whatever disastrously lame reason, entirely unlike every other UI element in the Firefox preferences) -- about eight of them one by one -- DID solve the problem for me.

Just FYI

With FF 3.6 clearing all cookies solves the problem.

I booted up and opened Firefox, and NOOO!!! I'm logged out again!

I don't know what to do. How do you delete cookies? How do you know which ones to delete?

edit=>preferences=privacy=>remove individual cookies
do a search for linuxquestions.org
delete

I accidentally deleted all my cookies because I thought the "remove all" button removed all the ones from a certain website!

Anyway, I don't think it could have caused any harm, especially since Firefox came with no cookies in the first place.

And BTW, what is this "upgrade" that is causing problems?

I have manually removed all my LQ cookies with FF add-on Web Developer and it now seems OK.

Thanks for the update. I'll take a look and see why the page wouldn't be removing all cookies (and will update the page with a note on how to manually remove all cookies). Is there any member that is unable to stay logged in after *manually* removing all LQ-related cookies? I once again apologize for the inconvenience.

I had manually deleted my LQ from FF. Now it's working .

I'll admit that I have not read all this thread, but today it has been driving me mad.

No auto-login to LQ.

I have deleted all LQ cookies, logged in, ticked "Remember me" and it works once. Then fails, no matter which browser (FF or konqueror) I use.

Grrrrr!

tredegar, are you sure you've deleted ALL LQ-related cookies? If you have and are still having an issue, that would be the first time I've seen it not fix the issue.

I followed this way , closed all LQ tabs, logged out from LQ ( when deleting cookie it's not needed at all ).

firefox -> edit -> preferences -> privacy tab -> remove individual cookies -> "deleted only LQ cookie".

From then onwards I didn't faced this problem.

I had been having problems, a) having to log in every time I opened a (first LQ) tab in Iceweasel 3.0.6, and b) everytime I returned from Groklaw to an open LQSpy - which had stalled and demanded a login upon a reload request. I had run the clear cookies .php page suggested above [to no avail]. Then I deleted all the linuxquestions.org cookies [again to no avail]. I had left the jeremy.linuxquestions.org cookies, however when I finally typed 'linuxquestions' into the show cookies title box, it found about 20 '__utmz' ccokies that had 'linuxquestions' in their URL. When these were all deleted I have managed to stay logged in, and LQSpy continues to keep updated. Well it has for the last 25 minutes or so. I will report back if I experience any further problems.
Cheers
Richard

Thanks for the update minrich.

Note, I've updated http://www.linuxquestions.org/removecookies.php and it should now work for substantially more members. If anyone continues to have an issue, please let me know.
