    Don't know - I use firefox and have no problems, in fact it's the only browser I've found that keeps me logged in even if I close the GYO tab, as long as I don't turn off the power.

        I'm the same as Mothhawk - no problems at all with Firefox. But no doubt someone with more computer skills than me will be along soon to help you BM.

          Sorry can't help, didn't like Firefox when I tried it as nothing seemed to be where it should be. I use Chrome at home with no problems, how come you changed? Re having to log in, I stay permanently connected so that whenever I turn on I don't have to put my password in.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

            I think BM picked up a Trojan something on Chrome so switched over to Firefox.

              check that you haven't added it to the list of blocked sites.
              and download the add-on adblock plus.

                Yep, that's the reason I changed. I'm able to stay logged in today. Maybe my old PC is showing it's age.....I'm away to read my cookie problem now but thanks for your help.

                  Did anyone else notice that the Vine shut down last night around midnight? I swear it was caused by all this talk of computer problems

                    I just got kicked off the vine again & redirected to some aplogy site..hey ho. So now I have fallen out with Chrome & Firefox, I'm giving IE another go although I don't like it. May have a look at Opera as I have not heard of that one..........any more browsers you can recommend?

                      Also recommended that you should get superantispyware.

                        I use Chr0me, mainly, but also Firef0x occasionally (two separate eBay accounts) and I use Safari for Hubby's business stuff. Not really got any problems with any of them. Sorry. I really do need to update my OS though, but I can't be arrised at the moment.

                          I occasionally use Avant - it's very fast, I should play about with it more, but tend just to click firefox automatically. Menu/tool bars etc look different and take a bit of getting used to, but that's just unfamiliarity, if I used it more it would be easy.

                          edit - it's also a small download to install - under 2Mb I believe.

                              Thanks MH, I'll keep my eye on that one. I have just downloaded Opera & 1st impressions are good, may take a little getting used to but a) I'm still logged into the vine & b) My cookie control doesn't flash so it's a win win situation so far. With regards to other comments, I already have Malwarebytes, CrapCleaner & Advanced System Optimizer installed.
