Can't log on at home!

I still can't log in at home... But can at work. Has anyone else got problems, or is it just me?

Hiya -

I'm having no problems getting on either at home or at work.

do you mean you can't access disboards.com from home or that you cannot logon with your username?

if you cannot access the site from home then please check out the following thread: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=391157

Hi, I've not beem able to get into any of the forums for the past few days, eventually I got in touch with Freeserve tech. support. This is what they suggested that I do. I don't know what type of problem that you are having, but this might work.

From time to time you may need to wipe your 'cookies' and temporary
'Internet Files' to get a website to work properly.

Cookies are tiny files that store information on your hard disk. They
are generated by websites that use them to store information about
settings or preferences, and are generally harmless.

To do this, open Internet Options from the Tools menu in
Internet Explorer, ensuring that the 'General' tab is selected

Under 'Temporary Internet Files', click on 'Delete Files', place a tick
in 'Delete all offline content', then click on OK.

Click the 'Settings' button Under 'Temporary Internet Files'
Click on the 'View Files' button
Click on 'Edit' at the top then 'Select All'
Click on 'File' at the top then 'Delete'
Click 'Yes' on the confirmation box
Click the 'X' in the top right corner
Click 'Ok' on the settings box

If this does not resolve the difficulties that you have encountered, it
may be necessary to reset the security settings on your computer.

To do this, select the 'Security' tab, then click on the 'Internet'
globe icon.
We suggest you set the security level to Medium, then click on 'Custom
Level', click on 'Reset' and confirm, selecting 'Yes'.
Click on 'OK', then 'Apply' and OK to confirm all changes.

By the way Matty624 I live just down the road from you in Chorley and I have spent the last 3 years in Preston at the University of Central Lancashire.

Cat.

I'm back on at last! Wooohoooo...
I'm even sadder than I thought I was, I can't tell you the relief that the site is now actually working at home, at last, after 4 long days!
I contacted Free Serve and they said find out whether other people were having the same problem, but judging from the responses it was just me!
Thanks for the ideas Cat, I already delete cookies regularly to keep the system in tip top condition (I really am sad, I need to get a life!) In fact we live in Leyland, Cat, which is even closer than Preston, I just put Preston because people know where that is usually!
