Can someone with a techy brain give me some idea of how to solve my problem.
Since yesterday? Every time I go into Gransnet and want to say, leave a comment, I have to now Log In? Even if I have ticked the box "Keep me logged in"
Why has this suddenly happened? Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

Have you activated privacy settings on the search engine?

This happened to me yesterday.

How did you fix it Damask Rose?
Thanks Ronib. I don't remember doing so. If I have, how do I fix it?
All appears OK on my iphone. Just the ipad is wrong!
Thanks all

If you google take off private browsing, it should give you a step by step menu to follow.

have you set the browser to incognito?

Ronin thank you. It seems to be OK now thanks to your help.
I really don't know how it happened. Must have been "button happy"

Happens to me all the time, Auntieflo 🙄.

I have to log in every time on my main computer even if I have ticked log in. HQ can’t do anything about it.😏 However I don’t have to log in on my IPad.

Patsy and NanKate, would it help if you followed ronib's suggestions/ instructions? I did on my iPad and it put me right.

ronib, Apologies for getting your name wrong previously.

No worries Auntieflo glad to have helped….

AuntieFlo I would follow ronib’s advice if I knew where my ‘Search Engine’ is. 😏

ronib Mon 29-Jul-24 21:30:12

It’s where you type your search …….

I’ve had this very recently, and with MN too. I thought it was because my iPad had been seriously playing up, but a ‘clear history’ eventually sorted the main problem (nothing responding at all) out.
I’m still being asked to ‘log in with Google’ though. Very irritating. Formerly I was permanently logged in to both.
