Shunting me off

Postby LDWriter2 » Sun Apr 16, 2017 4:38 pm

This site is still shunting me off to the page that says I have made too many attempts to sign in and need to answer a question.


We are talking once in three days or so.

Most likely requires cookies, and incognito-mode won't store cookies.

That's my suspicion too. The forum can't recognize you if you're blocking cookies for any reason.

Finally choose to go through that all to get signed in

Yes I double checked the allow cookies box is checked.



Could it be something to do with allowing location services even though I haven't had problems with any other of the sites I go to and this one shouldn't need use of location services but wotf017
