Delete Cookies For forums.digitalpoint.com

    We switched the domain scope for the cookies used here. Before cookies were limited to just forums.digitalpoint.com. Now cookies are for *.digitalpoint.com.

    This is so you can stay logged into your account if you were to be on a different sub-domain (future stuff basically).

    The side effect is that in some cases, you may need to manually delete the old cookies for forums.digitalpoint.com. If you go into your browser settings, you should have an option to show your cookies, then delete the ones for forums.digitalpoint.com (they are no longer used).

    I went ahead and semi-automated the process. If you logout (with the Log Out button) the old unused cookies are removed automatically now.

    Either way, it does it automatically now if you logout.

    Clicking on the favicon opened up 'More information', clicking on which lead me to 'security' option of FF... where you can easily view the cookies.
    I have deleted 6-7 old cookies just now... manually! :)

    Whenever there is a problem logging into a website, I think one should always clear cookies and retry. This is the first line of defense -- and it often works
