I have had trouble staying logged in since the new software was implemented. Yes, I check the "remember me" box, but every so often I get logged off. It seems to happen randomly.

It most recently happened when I clicked the "back" button after viewing a thread. Also, when I launch the site, there's about a 50/50 chance I'm still logged in from my previous log in.

I'm running Firefox 3.0.5. Anyone else having issues?

 

must be a cookie problem. im using the same firefox and not seeing the issue- so far

 

i have had the issue intermittently. i havent paid enough attention to narrow it down, but i think its likely it only happens at work on the gov/mil machines. which is no big deal. i'll pay attention tomorrow and see at home

 

I see the problem here. He said; "softare" that might have something to do with it

 

FF 3.0.5 with noscript running.. no issues.

 

Oh whoops. Well at least it's not a hardare problem.

It happened again this morning.

 

Maybe someone has been watching **** on your computer and has been trying to cover their tracks by deleting cookies. That was my problem.

 

My cookies are fine. This is the only site where I experience the problem (and I'm the only one who watches **** on my computer - I hope).

I have to log in every time I visit the site, and sometimes it'll just log me out when I click on a thread. I can't tell you how annoying the ads on the side of the page area, and I can do without seeing everyone's signatures.

Dang it. I can't be the only one with this problem. I'm going to try to download the newest Firefox again.

 

Same problem here with latest Firefox on a personal laptop. Sometimes opening thread links in new tabs doesn't carry over the log-in, sometimes it does. I just had several tabs open on different threads and all showed logged-in, refreshing a tab showed logged-out except for the original tab. The PC did go to sleep while the tabs were open so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I haven't tried deleting site cookies yet.

 

This happens to me at work. Only for this site, but at home..everything is fine. Odd. =(

 

I still have to log in almost every time I go to my usercp page. I read those new posts then went to "Quick Links/Today's Posts". I usually go through the list and open each of those threads I intend to check in new tabs (Firefox), so I can get a large collection of tabs to read. I had been reading threads for a while and noticed that when I clicked to go to a "page 2" of one that I was now logged out. Going to my UserCP again prompted me to log in again. Apparently if I don't do something to show I am still active on the website, like request a page, it logs me out. I don't know how long the inactivity has to be but I would guess and hour or less. This sucks as many of the threads I read through the "Today's posts" link are going to only be one page, or the last page and don't require a page request to read more. That means I can be on-site reading quite a bit without being active for the required time. I don't know why this was changed with the new software update, but I don't like it. I don't like the login each time I visit and especially don't like the short time limit on activity. Why was this changed?

 

Did you click the 'remember me' next to the login?

S

 

Yes. The login page inserts my info but I still have log in if I am inactive for a period of time.

 

I had this problem using IE8 (beta) on the Windows 7 beta. I figured out it was the Norton 360 beta clearing out all my cookies, then I got rid of it. Are you using IE8 or Norton 360?

 

Yeah, this laptop came with N360 on it and I have been planning to uninstall it, just haven't gotten around to it. Right after activating it the 32-bit version of IE failed with a corrupt folder. I had to run the 64-bit version and not everything works with it, like Flash videos (you-tube). Thanks for the info, Ill check the settings to see if anything there will fix it but I am using Firefox and it worked fine until the site update.

 

gawd i hate norton. nothing but problems for me on 2 succesive PCs and a half dozen or more versions. wont ever use again.

 

Nope. Firefox 3.0.6 and Kaspersky. It still happens at random. I don't really notice it until I see the ads all over the place (if you're not a logged-in member there are lots of ads all over the pages).

I'm pretty sure it is one of my settings, but the weird thing is this is the only site I have problems with and it's only on my work computer.

I'm about to update to Firefox 3.0.7. I'll report back.

 

Just use IE 7 and you are good to go.

 

I love FF IMO.
No script is great for blocking crap you don't want slowing down your browser or opening ads.
Here's the scripts I'm currently blocking:
internetbrands.com
postrelease.com
jbrlsr.com
quantserve.com
doubleclick.net

Maybe one of these I should not block to keep me logged in?

 

check if u have "clear data when closing window" under settings/preferences....that might be your problem...

 

It is unselected but thanks. I've learned to just deal with it.

 

try this

 

Thanks but it hasn't logged me out in a while. I'm going to go ahead and assume it was magic.
