Why isn't PF remembering my settings after changing them?

In summary, you were having trouble logging in to the site because cookies were being blocked and the program AdsOff was able to remove the block.

Hey, recently I went into the User CP to change my settings so that PF would stop sending me messages every freaking time someone answered a thread I'd posted in. Anyways, that's the only one I changed, but now for the past week or so, PF doesn't remember me even though I press "remember". It used to but now wtf? Thanks

Check and see that you are allowing cookies in your internet browser settings.

I had it set to allow them. I cleared them all and re-logged in and told it to remember, somehow I doubt it'll fix it though.

Edit: Nope it didn't. Piece of trash. When this comp dies I am going to literally beat it until there is nothing left (after removing environmentally unfriendly parts)

There shouldn't be any connection between receiving email notifications of new replies and the log-in screen. Many of us have turned off email notifications (my email inbox would be permanently clogged if I allowed those), and the "remember me" feature works fine.

If your browser is set to allow cookies, do you have any other software installed that automatically cleans the cookies after leaving a site? Do you only get logged out when you leave the site, or does it log you out/time out during a single session?

I dunno, I'll do more in-depth tinkering later.

I figured it out...I'm pretty sure at least. I've been using this program called AdsOff (its really great to have) and I found a tab that showed "Blocked cookies" and pf was on that list so I removed it. Anyways, if you ever find banner ads annoying, google this program. Its free and works great. Thanks for your help anyways.
 

1. What is a PF setting?

A PF setting, also known as a Peltier factor setting, refers to a specific value that controls the amount of heat produced or absorbed by a Peltier device. It is typically measured in volts or amps and can be adjusted to regulate the temperature of the device.

2. How do I know if there is a problem with my PF settings?

If there is a problem with your PF settings, you may notice that the temperature of your Peltier device is not reaching the desired level or that it is fluctuating significantly. You may also experience issues with the device's performance or notice strange noises or vibrations.

3. What are some common issues that can arise with PF settings?

Some common issues that can arise with PF settings include incorrect temperature readings, insufficient cooling or heating, and damage to the Peltier device due to overloading. These issues can be caused by factors such as incorrect calibration, faulty wiring, or using the wrong type of Peltier device for the desired application.

4. How can I troubleshoot problems with my PF settings?

If you are experiencing issues with your PF settings, first check that the device is properly connected and the wiring is correct. Then, ensure that the PF settings are properly calibrated and adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to replace the Peltier device or consult a specialist for further assistance.

5. Are there any safety precautions I should take when adjusting PF settings?

Yes, it is important to follow all safety precautions outlined in the manufacturer's instructions when adjusting PF settings. This may include wearing protective gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, and being aware of potential hazards such as electrical shocks. It is also important to make any adjustments to PF settings while the device is not in use and has been powered off and unplugged.
