@dikeeblebeadsandjewellery it sound like you might be signing out of the forums, but not Folksy - can you see your username at the top of the Folksy front page? If so, could you please try clicking on that, then signing out, and signing back in again?
Itâs ok now thanks, I switched the pc off and on again!
Updated info for anyone who has trouble with this later this evening!
There was also a related issue with resetting passwords (error when trying to set new password), but this should now be fixed.
Glad others are having problems too thought I was doing something wrong
I donât seem to have had any problems logging in and out but I am having problems getting onto the forums. I have had to use google chrome as I canât get on at all using firefox - is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
@sianfolksy is this linked to updates or just me?
@JuniperSpools It could be, yes. Have you tried making sure youâre logged out of both the forums and folksy.com on Firefox and then clearing your cookies?
@sianfolksy Good morning, are you still playing with the site? I keep getting an error message when I try and do anything.
Iâm seeing the same thing. Bear with me, Iâm reporting to DougâŚ
Thank you
Ok, that should be fixed!
I have just listed a new item and it went ok. Thank you for sorting it out so quickly
Sian @ sianfolksy I refuse to clear my cookies as this will effect not just the cookies for Folksy but for every thing else I use on the internet.
Please, please can admin sort this out properly
You really should clear your cookies and cache every now and then Eileen @EileensCraftStudio itâs good for your computer and helps keep malware down and stops those sites that track what youâre doing online.

I have a very excellent anti virus software, and a very strong firewall due to the fact DH happens to do be a IT specialist who specializes in protection, storage and retreaval/recovery. Clearing your cookies should never be relied on to âprotectâ your computer.
Theyâd have to get past the âFire Wallâ first to be able to infect my laptop with maleware or a keylogger programme.
If you are running anti virus software you shouldnât get maleware to start with. If you are not running a good up to date anti virus software then your computer can become infected with maleware which in turn will then use your cookies.
You can just clear them for Folksy, you donât have to do it for everything.
I will get hubbie to isolate and clear those just for Folksy when heâs got a spare moment if the issues continues.
I donât like asking him to do his âDay Jobâ when heâs taken time off to do building working on my house
Ok looks like itâs working fine again now yah and didnât have to do a thing. I just logged out then logged straight back in again. wooohoooo normal service has been resumed all by itself
does the happy dance
Hi Sian
I have cleared my cookies and logged out of Folksy but I canât log out of the forum as I canât get it to open at all with Firefox - it just says âNo site configured at this addressâ.
Sorry, just seen you there! Have you tried clearing your cache on Firefox as well as your cookies?
