Mila Kun asks:
I’m not sure why, but I’m supposed to be logged into MakeUseOf. And I’m logged in right now, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to ask this.
However, I’m not recognized as such when I want to post comments on articles. I’m asked to submit my name, mail etc. I DO see my name and points on the upper right side of the page, though. I can’t earn more points either.
Anyone has an idea of why is this happening? thanks in advance!

October 7, 2012Mila,
Have you tried to empty your cache, clear cookies, and log back in again?
We have made some changes and it’s possible that some of the information stored in your browser is outdated.
Please report back if these simple measures don’t solve the problem and we will look into the issue again!
I actually mailed James about this about a week ago or so?
I’m experiencing the same problem in Safari:
The upper right says I’m logged in but the comment field still asks for all details. If I click logout the page refreshes but it is still showing my name and points.
Clearing the cache only solves the problem until the browser is closed. Once I open up Safari again I’m facing the same issue again.

October 7, 2012The same thing is happening with me too. But I’ve got a temporary solution. I have set “makeuseof.com” as an exception in cookie settings so that the cookies are cleared when I close Chrome. I have to login each time.
Steps please?
I’m too lazy to google them..lol
thanks in advance
October 8, 2012Bring up Chrome settings, then click on “Show advanced settings”. Under “Privacy” click on Content settings. Under “Cookies” click on “Manage exceptions”. There enter “makeuseof.com” and “login.makeuseof.com” and set the behaviour to “Clear on exit”.

October 7, 2012Tina, this is a universal issue.
I’m facing the same problem. As of now surviving with clearing cookies every time before I log in @MUO.
Yeah I do the same. One day it works, the other day it doesnt.

October 7, 2012I emptied my cache, as you said, and everything’s working fine as of now. I decided to do what Raj said and made an exception to makeuseof.com to be deleted everytime I close Chrome.
Thanks for the help!
Welcome!

October 7, 2012Sometimes the same thing happens to me. I just enter my comment in the box without putting in my name/mail and the comment is processed and points are received. :\
Good luck to you though!

October 8, 2012Same here I am having the same problems. With Firefox I can log in but can’t redeem any points for the software states I must be logged in even though I am but I can post no problem. In Chrome my Name/Points all vanish and I need to enter my name and email to post. With IE9 all is well and works fine so it must be something within the browser it’s self strange? Will try a few things and post back.
