OldNick Posted 5 September, 2018 Posted 5 September, 2018 As a full member it is annoying that you get the message about the cookies and then have to turn off on the privacy settings each time. It says save the settings but then reverts back once you've logged off ,it is a nonsense. I have made a thread on the lounge about this but I suggest that if you dont want your info farmed for advertisers etc I suggest you check each time.

If you tick the remember me option where you log in you will not get the ads because you are logged straight in as soon as you click on the forum. All i get is the small blue privacy settings banner in bottom right of screen and i ignore it
The9 Posted 5 September, 2018 Posted 5 September, 2018 This is the first time I've even seen it, which tells you how often I come on here nowadays.

Batman Posted 6 September, 2018 Posted 6 September, 2018 tap on the privacy settings and you will see that it will still be on when you log back in. Well it does on my 3 different computers it must be you. No one else appears to have an issue
OldNick Posted 7 September, 2018 Author Posted 7 September, 2018 it must be you. No one else appears to have an issuedoes your privacy settings stay at off everytime you log in?
Batman Posted 7 September, 2018 Posted 7 September, 2018 does your privacy settings stay at off everytime you log in? Yep. On the laptop, all I get is a little blue bar bottom right of the screen. No pop ups or anything’s
Charlie Wayman Posted 7 September, 2018 Posted 7 September, 2018 Try using Ad Block if you do not do so already

Jonnyboy Posted 7 September, 2018 Posted 7 September, 2018 It's like explaining the TV to the parents for the 18th time.
OldNick Posted 8 September, 2018 Author Posted 8 September, 2018 It's like explaining the TV to the parents for the 18th time.Im sure, so please tell how you get the privacy settings to stay locked off
Stud mark of doom Posted 8 September, 2018 Posted 8 September, 2018 Can we add this to golden threads, mods?
Weston Super Saint Posted 8 September, 2018 Posted 8 September, 2018 tap on the privacy settings and you will see that it will still be on when you log back in. Well it does on my 3 different computers I'm no technical genius, but I'd suggest the 3 different computers is the problem! 3 computers means 3 different IP addresses, it also means you would have to log in again every time you switch between computers which would prompt the popup to appear. I'm guessing everyone else is signed in on just one device, hence why we aren't getting the popups as the IP addresses will be remembered - and linked to the account details.... Try just using one device for a couple of days to see if this solves the problem....

Wurzel Posted 13 September, 2018 Posted 13 September, 2018 Posting this from phone, my laptop has crashed 4 times this week, on every occasion it's whilst I was on here. Not happened at any other time and I've been on plenty of other sites in that time.. Can't be coincidence.
