Hi Morgan,

The browser I use most of the time is Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11, and over the years I have built up a vast "favourites" data structure covering my work and my hobbies, for most of which is probably classic British motorcycles!

If I logon to Britbike using IE11 I get told that I've logged on okay, but when I moved to another page it is evident that your site no longer thinks that I'm logged on and I can't do things like participate in the forums. I have confirmed time and again that this happens. The only way I can actively use your site is to use a different browser, my favourite alternative is Google Chrome. This works fine but its handling of bookmarks/favourites is so poor if your data structure is of any size that it is not viable for me to move to use Chrome for everything. This means that if I want to save a bookmark/favourite then I have to cut-and-paste the text of the URL back into IE 11 from where I can save it. This is a real pain.

Are you aware of this issue with IE 11? Is there a fix that you or I could make? Something you could point me to? I know that IE 11's compliance with web standards is nothing like as high as Chrome’s, and that it probably never will be, but I would value hearing from you about this.

Kind regards,

Jon Duke (display name:JonnyD)

There is a thread here about difficulties with the EDGE browser, but the end result should work for this user as well; tell them to UNTICK the "keep me logged in" option and they should be fine.

Technical:
IE/Edge doesn't like how we set the expiration time with the "keep me logged in" option (with a "0" expiration time); they see it as a "life time" rather than an "expire time". The thread that I linked to above ended up with a change of coding in 7.6.0 and is listed in one of the changelogs.
