Hello all...!

Is anyone else having problems with trying to download files from Avsim's library...?
I have been a registered member with them for years, but recently, (since changing to Mozilla Firefox?), I am constantly asked for my name and password before being allowed to download a file!
I enter my usual details but they are never accepted.

I have registered to their Forum to post the complaint, but my details are not accepted there either...!!

This was the message...>>>
**********************************************
I've been a member of Avsim since the year dot and have never had any problems logging on. In fact my log-in name always appears in the main menu and automatically gives me access to the file library, but when trying to download a file recently it asks for my log-in details yet again, which I type in, and it refuses to accept them every time...!
I have recently changed my browser to Mozilla Firefox from Internet Explorer to prevent spyware, adware, etc, but since the change I am no longer able to download files from the library..!
I have enabled cookies in Firefox, fom Avsim, (why?) but it does not cure the problem.
NOTE: That I have no problems using Firefox with Simviation and Flightsim, etc, or any other Site...!
There suddenly appears to be a different procedure for obtaining downloads recently from Avsim, requiring a name and password every time..which at the moment fails to work..!
...any ideas...?

Cheers all....

This always appears on the main Menu each time I connect to Avsim:
"Logged in as: fozzer (Paul L. Fosbery)"

Something has recently changed in the library department.
This is the annoying little box which now appears when trying to download a file...>>>



The name and password fail every time...!
...which also means that I cant get access to Avsim's complaints department...!!!

Havent had any problems with them lately.  And i use Moz F as well.

As for no nodes over the past few times ive been there.  Its certainly living up to its nickname

...still no luck... ....!

I've tried using Internet Explorer instead...same problemo...!!

Just E-Mailed the Big Chiefs there to see if they can suggest something....!
It is a fact that something has recently changed on the site involving this pop-up, log-in box which did not appear previously when requesting a download... ...!

...more news later... ...!

Way- hey... ...!

Dear Ozzy has finally sorted the problem out for me... 8)...!

It goes like this...

My Getright downloader is automatically set to run in my System Tray during boot-up.
When I then request a file from Avsim there appears to be a problem when Avsim then tries to connect to my "already open" downloader sitting in my Tray...!

If I remove Getright from my tray, and allow Avsim to start it automatically when requesting a file, the problem disappears...!!!

Ozzy reckons it is due to a conflict between Avsims IP address and Getright's IP address while both programs are trying to connect with each other.... ...!
....that's when it becomes a mystery to me......!
LOL...!

The strange thing is, it only occurs with Avsim...!

Thanks, Ozzy... ...!
