RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was quite happily perusing RMWEB topics when I got the error message below. I have rebooted the computer and also tried a system restore and the message still persists. I am using Win 7 PRO Any help to restore normal service would be much appreciated. From me laptop.

janner Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Clear your browser cookies and all should be OK. True that works, but I get this pop up and have to clears cookies about every 5 to 10 pages, surely it should not happen quite this often? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It certainly shouldn't happen that frequently Janner and I'll investigate further. It's due to the way ad-serving software is handling the cookies so if you're significantly affected like that I'd suggested using a reputable ad-blocker for your browser and see if that helps until I properly resolve it.

stewartingram Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Most days I get this on XP Pro/IE (latest version for XP). If I close RMWeb and rstart all is ok. Tried clearing cookies, deleting history etc, no effect. Happens after opening about 10 tabs to view. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've also installed the ad blocker, up to now when I've had the same problem I've just clicked on the dustbin at the top of the page and cleared the cookies.

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted November 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2014 Also, if this is a cookie issue it may be that all you need to do is block third party cookies (IMHO a good idea anyway) from within your browser's options.

Thanks for that Andy, I have installed AdBlock and it seems to have solved the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mcowgill Posted December 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've started seeing this regularly in the last few weeks with Chrome, although I'd never had it prior to that. Just had another instance of it, it seems to be every two or three days or more frequently. It's clearly getting serious as I'm considering turning on the Antex and finishing off the two etched kit's on the workbench, I don't normally get distracted by modelling when there are unread threads...

RMweb Premium Jamiel Posted December 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2014 Since the recent update of Firefox, I have received the same problem. I tried Internet Explorer (IE) to see if it had the same problem, and it doesn't, however I do not like browsing with IE (I don't trust it for security reasons).Suggesting that we delete our cookies is not a very good solution, yes it may make accessing RMWEB work, but it means making all the other websites that we have stored information for a pain. I am really not impressed with the update for Firefox, it seems to be making accessing lots of things difficult, so the problem is not purely RMWEB, but this is the only site that simply does not work with the new Firefox.Any suggestions?

Andy Y Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Suggesting that we delete our cookies is not a very good solution, yes it may make accessing RMWEB work, but it means making all the other websites that we have stored information for a pain. I understand that and sympathise; it was a basic instruction hopefully to help those not too familiar with their browsers. It's worth reading up how, for your browser, how you can delete cookies which apply to just that site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jamiel Posted December 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks AndyI will do some research and post the results in case other Firefox users have a similar problem. The new update does tend to mother you about everything you access.EDIT. Following this link helped solve the problem. Before deleting your RMWEB cookie, it is worth logging in with another browser, so that you can access 'Content You Follow' and then go to those pages and add them back after deleting you RMWEB cookie, just in case it is lost for Firefox. It might not be, but better safe than sorry.https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-storedThanks again Andy, and hope this is helpful.Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
