Hi Admin

You've recently added a security screen which periodically asks you to type in the words that appear on the screeen, unfortunately this needs cookies to be enabled. Most of my Forum browing is at work (linchtimes etc), unfortunately my company does not allow cookies on their intranet, which stops me getting on the forum at work. Is there anything I can do to get around this problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you mean this one?

This system has been in place since August last year (see These scam infiltraitors). Even if you were to get past that challenge screen, to work correctly (i.e. keep you logged in etc.) the forum software requires cookies to be enabled as well, so you would still experience problems.

Unfortunately that first screen is an added security feature and also to stop forum spam (which it does very well), and cannot really be disabled without doing a u-turn on that decision. Actually, you should only really see it if the software has detected malicious behaviour from your IP address (and I'm not suggesting that's the case here, at least not intentionally) which suggests a compromised PC or network.

I'm afraid the only solution is to take a laptop / phone or something else to work and do your personal browsing on that

Thanks for all your comments, whatever was triggering the security screen has cleared.

I thought that Idea about the jams was great one, James.
Unfortunately my boss disagrees. Ah well..

Hee Hee No I wouldn't do that to him James, He's not a bad sort really.
Thanks for the offer though
