Why can't I stay logged in?

Post by _skippy the dead »

Is anybody else having this problem? Anytime I leave the page, I get logged out (even though when I log in, I mark the "keep me logged in" box). If I'd known I'd have to log in so frequently, I would have chosen a shorter screen name!

I am unable to even log in with Firefox, but have no problem with the Explorer.

Yes I have problems. I use firefox. I have to log in twice 99% of the time and if I'm logged in and write a message and it takes me a bit of time (I'm not sure how much but I lose my post and I'm logged out.

I've noticed that on some computers it logs me off if I close the browser window. But as long as the window remains open--no matter where else I surf--I stay logged in.

Therefore, when you leave the board, just keep the browser window open and see if that helps.

I *am* using Firefox (IE is of the devil). This is actually a fairly recent occurrence for me - it worked most of the time until just a couple days ago.
