It's a new feature which is Not causing me any problems. I operate with Firefox and can avoid all adverts, pop-ups etc by staying 'logged-in' with AB. However, anyone using Internet Explorer (which may include you) could find the issue a nuisance; but one to be ignored.

I like it - so many times in the race to be first with an answer I am interrupted by the login prompt because I haven't logged in yet - now I always will be - joy untrammeled.

"However, anyone using Internet Explorer (which may include you)"

It should work fine in IE 8/9/10? It did in our tests.

When are you getting these message Bazile? Should only be when you're not logged in and, assuming you don't clear your cache, only once every 24 hours...

I think I went to school with her.

Ed
'Is clearing cache ' the same as 'Deleting browsing history ' ? - i have not deleted my browsing history today and I have had several messages today .

I cant remember if I was signed in or not .

I will keep one eye on it and see - if it comes up again today

I'm thinking the Ed actually meant "Should only be when you're not logged in and, assuming you don't clear your cookies, only once every 24 hours..."

[AB Editor]

That's how a intelligent person might put it Chuck :) My brain has long had the consistency and processing power of a small block of soft, unsalted butter.

"'Is clearing cache ' the same as 'Deleting browsing history '?"

Could be, depending how far you go.

[AB Editor]

By which I mean... whether you tick certain boxes when you delete your browsing history (if it includes cookies and cache, then yes, this is the same thing).

[Bazile]

ok - it's just happened - i'm not signed in and i've not cleared my cache

[boxtops]

I'm on IE9 and I only saw the sign-in screen when I first opened up the AB link.

[Old_Geezer]

A clear cache is a sign of a sick mind.
Everyone should have a messy cache.

[AB Editor]

"ok - it's just happened - i'm not signed in and i've not cleared my cache"

How odd, what browser?

[AB Editor]

It's worked perfectly fine in all our IE8 tests, we're having problems recreating the issue!

[AB Editor]

Okay, managed to reproduce the issue, once. After we cleared the cookies/cache to test again the issue seemed to resolve itself.

Could you try clearing your cache and cookies please? And letting us know if the problem persists.
