Is there some way to stay logged in to the forum indefinitely? It used to keep you logged in for many days (30?) I'm getting tired of having the forum demand to log in anew when I want to post (from day to day, not several posts on the same day.) And then to add insult to you know what, the @#&$%?# thing thanks you for logging in with no provision that I can see to go back to the thread you wanted to post to. Am I missing something?

must be some setting in your computer got changed as I rarely have to log back in and when I do it takes me right back where I was. Do you have the box checked that says remember me ( I'm betting you do but had to ask) I'm betting its some thing in the way your system is set up on your putor as I had a putor that would do that to me on certain sites but not others but my other putor at that time would not it had no problem going back tot he sites and I didn't have to resign in. Not sure what to tell you

You have a cookie cleaner of some type that is erasing the cookies for the forum.

Yep, that has to be the problem.

I remain logged in indefintely unless I delete cookies which I do occasionally.

That happens to me on occasion, but since I don't post everyday, its not a big deal.

I don't have this problem anywhere else -- this is the only site -- so I don't see how it could be a cookie cleaner.

Well, a host of others here, including me, don't have the problem, so I don't think it's the forum...

Thanks -- I'll poke around at my cookie settings, etc., and see what I can figure out.

Martin,

Here is a good checklist.

On your Internet Explorer,

Click on Tools, Internet Options.

Then, click the Delete Button under Browsing History.

If the box is checked for Cookies, uncheck it, then click the Delete button, then click OK.

That should preserve your cookies from this point on.

Let us know if the box for Cookies was not checked.
