greenmachine Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 www.fenderforum.com is a site I visit often. I dont know how it does this, but it always remembers my username and password. Even if I restart, clear cookies, clear history, clear temp internet files etc etc etc. it ALWAYS remembers. I've tried everything. I want to login with a different name, but this is preventing me from doing this. Cookies? Autocomplete? How is it doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if you use another username, or login on your computer make a new user account it should not remember anything. Edit: Cookies have you tried manually deleting everything in your internet temp files, tools >> internet options (general tab) go to ?settings? & view files / view objects delete everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 3'rd party apps. Autocomplete is disabled. I tried to make another username and PW, success, but like i said I cant login because this is preventing me.

Bamsebjørn Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Maybe it just saves your IP address in a database... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accesser Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 No. 586533430[/snapback] Ok then I was thinking a dirty cache somewhere ,, I got no idea then, perhaps your IP is logged, in that case try using your ISP?s proxy or any proxy really. Other than that I?d say you have gremlins in your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should give you the same IP address everywhere. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikmar Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Whats that called again? Static? 586533427[/snapback] No that's a dynamic IP. Static is when it dosn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesmithg Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 The site you're browing might just delete knowing you when you close page, ebay does this to me, so does paypal, I have nothing set to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em_te Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm guessing here, but maybe try deleting (backup first) the contents of the folder: "C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\UserData\" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
