"Cookie" Problem

[ITBanker]

Every time I try to sign in to my gmail account I get the following message:

"Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on."

I have tried everything I can think of to change my internet options to allow this cookie to go through. It will not work. I can access my account on other computers.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Maybe if you give us more info, like browser and version number, also OS,

Thanks...

I have this problem on computers at school. There is no problem if you use Firefox though. Still haven't found a fix. Those PC's were running Win2000 Pro with IE6.

same here @ my school. the admin has disabled internet options, so if the cookies are turned off, i cant access Gmail.

I am running IE 6.0 on Windows XP Home Edition. I have checked all of my internet options to make sure the cookies are not blocked. I even added gmail.com to the list of websites and cookies that are always allowed.

What are cookies not the ones you eat but the ones in your computer?

Use Google and Wikipedia before asking stupid questions.

Andylkl, don't be so rude. I didn't know the answer to that question four months ago either. You might think that a certain question is not so smart, but for somebody else it's a perfecly fine question. If you insist on stating that you find it a so called "stupid" question at least be mature enough to state it less rude. Don't use the word stupid, it's rude, not fair and creates a hostile atmosphere on this forum.

Actually, I am willing to be polite and help out a true blue newbie on this subject if he/she really showed an interest towards the question that he/she actually asked. I did not see that interest in this person. I would be less hostile if it wasn't for the fact that this same person spammed this Gmails section with long "HAHAHA" and "aaaaaa" posts yesterday.

[getting a little futher offtopic]

Your right there, the "haha" and "aaa" posts were plain wrong. But shouldn't a moderator have said something about that there/gave a warning and left that in the past? This isn't a "hahahahha" post, just a question.

Ofcourse your right about the show interest part, I agree with you on that.

The point I'm trying to make is that posting agressive words like "Stupid" is very hostile. This creates a negative atmosphere on a forum. People tend to be copy cats. If one person starts using it, others will follow (I've seen that here before) and that creates not just a negative atmosphere but just plain old hostility. And I personally don't think that is very good for the 'atmosphere' (sorry I don't know another word for this) on this forum.

I'm not saying you can't address (sp?) it or something, but I do think you can reformulate it a little.

btw: Andylkl, I'm not trying to attack you or anything, just giving my opinion. It could be so that everybody dissagrees with me.
