There was an update which cleared the forum "cookies". You should clear your "old cookies" just to make sure things are clear in your computer and at your next login, check the "remember me" box if you like to stay logged in.
HTH.

Same thing happened to me just now. Gave my user name, password, clicked the "remember me" box and I couldn't log in. Did it again without the "remember me" and I was in.
Could someone explain how I clean the "old cookies" out of my PC? Presume this is different than the way I clean "old crumbs" out of my toaster - shaking it over the sink. Maybe a "self-clean" setting like my oven?
Sorry. That WAS a serious question from a seriously-challenged computer user.

Any fix for Safari iPad Browser?
This is is extremely annoying on the iPad using the native Safari browser which stubbornly stays broken. Clearing the cookies does work on the MacBook Pro Safari browser however.

Kinda hard to explain from afar- but its basically cleaning out the "hard" remembered "experience/association" that linked your computer to the site.
If you are using Firefox, Chrome, Internet Exploder or Safari- use Google and ask "clear history with (your browser) and run through it.
A software anti-virus like Trend Micro has a neat feature called "System Tuner" that was, IMO, real good.
I'm guessing the same for you, when you get to the place that has the "stored cookies" you will see a list, and it could be thousands
As you roll through you will see one for the MOA and that would be the old one that needs to go. The forum will "plant" a new one next time in and the "remember me" box should work fine.
HTH.
Gary
Not sure on that one but I would try that same Google approach as mentioned in the previous post.

That looks like a good one Lee
Thanks.I find the instructions "sometimes" need a little interpretation but that will get them going. Supposedly, Apple has a script for the 0S-X that takes care of the bulk of this kind of thing- I haven't been able to prove it out yet (to my satisfaction).

Kinda over my head with the Apple stuff (or Apple scruff...George Harrison)...maybe something on these pages:

Thanks to replies on this thread I was able to figure out how to delete "cookies" and some other stuff and my computer DOES seem a little faster. But the forum doesn't "remember me" and it took three tries to log on. The successful attempt I did not click that "remember me" box. Am I missing something?

What's your setup...operating system, web browser, etc.? I'm running Win7 and IE10 and I'm always remembered each time I return. This for such a wide range of people that if it's not working on your end, it has to be some setting or feature that causes this to happen. I notice in Internet Explorer under the Tools > Internet Options > General tab a feature to delete browsing history on exit. If this is checked, all of the history and cookies will be deleted and you'll have to start over each time.

Kurt, I am in the same boat with Doug on my laptop that I have begun to use in the evenings as I relax in my recliner or use when traveling.......Anyway, XP and Mozilla..........I went into control panel, internet, and deleted cookies but NOT passwords and history as I dread doing that. So........when, on the laptop, I bring up the net site it does NOT remember me automatically; but then as I begin to enter the user name, it pops up, as does the password..........then I go to the forum and have to do the same thing............
So, perhaps just removing cookies DOES NOT work????.............one has to also remove the password and history also???????........Just thoughts.......this began by the way, perhaps a week to 10 days ago after a maint. session...........
THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO...........God bless........Dennis

This is super annoying. I can stay logged in on my PC, but my iPAD won't do it.

Did it work before? Go into the Safari settings and take a look at what your options are set to. Which generation iPad is it and which version of iOS?

It used to stay logged in to the forum. Latest Gen, latest iOS. Have not changed it lately. I'll check settings tonight.

So this is a similar discussion as in another thread started at about the same time. Seeing your messages here and above, I deleted the MOA cookie in Safari on my Mac. I then re-logged in and checked "remember me". Next I rebooted my computer and this time I was instantly into the Forum. Hope that this is helpful in your troubleshooting and instructions to others.
