Another problem with IE

If you notice in BigC's post # 5 pic....the Medium setting makes reference to....Restricts first-party cookies that use personally identifiable information....which means with that setting Wilders will be blocked, along with your other Forum sign-in cookies.

My suggestion....at least for Wilders....is that you add Wilders to IE's Trusted Zone like I have in bold below

*.wilderssecurity.com

or....you could add Wilders and any of your other Forums you log into via IE's per site privacy section via Tools\Internet Options\Privacy tab....down in the bottom right select Edit....add wilders.com and select Allow.

 

Hi Bubba,

Thats a good idea ... (I haven't used IE in so long things leave your mind)

But what is weird is the cookie is initial set (as she can log in right before her post) ... then with the next click it simply vanishes. If that is/was the culprit it would just block the cookie & it wouldn't allow a login at all, Right?

Steve

What about active scripting?

 

Dog what you told bubba is excactly how its happening. And bubba, I added 2 sites to the box in internet options, but still cant get anywhere without punching in my password and user name here, and elsewhere.

 

Sonya,

The tab I asked you to check above ... "security", is that the one you checked ... or did you look under the "privacy" tab?

Steve

 

Dog, I did that under security, excactly like you said,

 

In my previous post I mad a mistake with my spelling....I said add *.wilders.com....when I meant to say *.wilderssecurity.com

If you add Wilders like the underline one above....then IE's Trusted Zone will accept any cookie WildersSecurity throws at it(1st party\3rd party\Session)....and will retain that cookie until someone deletes cookies. If WildersSecurity cookie is not retained after that then something besides IE is the cause.

 

OK Bubba, I will go fix it, and I will be back to let you know

 

Mru-Blaster could possible explain that (IE plugins) ... setting the cookie then MRU erasing it. Are you using it Sonya?

 

OK Bubba I changed it. I still cannot log in and stay logged in. And it seems to be retaing the address I typed in.
Dog, I don't think I have MRU blaster

 

You wouldnt think that I need to restart my computer after these few changes i've made do you?

 

That is an option but....MRUblaster only cleans what you tell it to.....meaning....you see the cookies and select the ones you want to ignore or delete. Of course....if one also makes the selection to also clean the cookies during an MRUblaster clean....that'll do it also

 

No closing & restarting IE would be sufficient.

 

If you added WildersSecurity to your Trusted Zone properly....and while your on a page at Wilders....look in the bottom right corner of Internet Explorer....is there a green circle with a check mark saying Trusted Sites ?

 

nope it just says internet. And this is how i typed it in
*.wilderssecurity.com

 

I'm still thinking this is an Active Scripting Issue (right or wrong ) ... Just check one more time Sonya that it looks like this screenshot.

Steve

 

Dog, yes it looks excactly like that

 

This is the place where I a few days ago, changed the java and active scripting. I do not know if this matters, I just thought I would let you know.and i have clicked reset already

 

Would you double check that entry Please and make sure there indeed are 2 s's in wilderssecurity.

Also....I notice your using Zone Alarm....What version and is it the Free or Pro version. It could be ZA's privacy feature causing this but....it should not prevent a user from adding a site to IE's Trusted Zone.

@Dog....active scripting should not be causing an enability for IE to retain cookies....but for kicks and grins....I removed Wilderssecurity from my Trusted Zone....lowered my Internet Zone cookie setting to medium....when normally ALL my cookies are blocked for Internet Zone and login was succesful.

Note: this is with my IE Internet Zone at it's normal setting....High....where scripting is disabled....along with most everything else.

 

Bubba, yes there are 2 s'es in there. And plz explain what zone alarm is and i will see . Srry, I just dont know some of these things And thank you so much for helping me

 

Zone Alarm is your Firewall.

 

That is my EZ firewall, when it looks like that and I hold my mouse over it, then it says traffic. Otherwise, it says EZFW Like below

 

ZA clone

 

Ok....it's actually Zone Labs firewall engine(code)....repackaged by Computer Associates ?

Can you double click on that EZ firewall icon that's in your systray and see if that version has anything dealing with privacy.

Setting aside the cookie problem....I am still not understanding why adding sites to IE's Trusted Zone is not sticking. Before I go....could you Please add what's in bold below to IE's Trusted Zone and then visit that site. Is the Trusted Zone icon showing in the bottom right of an IE Window ?

nascar.com

 

Yes it has a security, and it has 2 things, clean cache manually, and then clean cache automatically. And I am going to type in nascar to see if that works, be back to let ya know

 

Bubba, here is a screenshot of it
