Great suggestion. Many times it is the simple approach, to diagnosing tech situations, which get overlooked.

Apparently, all I needed was to tell my Cookie Cleaner software (Ccleaner), to ignore "forum.transladyboy.com" and I don't have to re-logon. Thank you !!

Now it is working. There also were a couple of others that seemed to come up, that were part of a marketing company that puts them there, which pulls data for marketing and allows ads to come up. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of them. They are gone.
What I had to do was to go to the web site for that company and let them know that I wanted to be Excluded from being on their advertising lists.

I probably have about 30 cookies that I exclude from being cleaned.
But it is amazing what does get put out on our computers, without our knowledge and acceptance.
I find it so many of them to be a violation, like someone coming to my house and putting in some sort of surveillance equipment, in my home.

I know that many people are concerned about "hackers" getting into their systems, when in truth, it is the Corporate paid Internet marketing companies, who are the ones that we really have to look at.

I also use some software on my firewall (avast!) where I have posted some links that I never want to have opened. Microsoft's "Bing" is one of them.
Then I have some domain/web sites that I put in my routers configuration software that keeps them away permanently. I was shocked when Bing actually went into my Firefox configuration file and modified it, to make Bing a primary search engine.

Thanks,

Jon
