 Are you blocking cookies in your browser? It usually all just works for me. About once a week or so when I pop on the forums it says I'm not logged in (usually very obvious as ALL threads show unread messages, in case I miss that instead of my name in the upper right it has the log in button) and I have to log back in again, but then it's all fine until the cookie expires.

I just tried it again.  I'm logged in to here, the forums, and I go to the top and click on Digital Archives, and I'm sent to a page that says I need to subscribe.

So to get to it, I need to log off the MR site, then open the archives, and log back in.

I can then go from the Archives, to here, the forums, without logging in again.

It just seems like the long way.

Mike.

Make sure you're logged in on here first, it kicks you off every so often. 

Also the actual digital archive keeps kicking me off every 10-20 minutes too.

I tried to reply, and found I had to log back in.  I was logged in this afternoon.  I'm guessing something had to be restarted and it forgot who was logged in.  Hopefully it will be back to normal tomorrow.

I usually just go to the top of the page, and open the archives in a seperate window.  I went to it, as I usually do, and it said I needed to subscribe to it (which I already am).

OK, so I figured I call customer service and see whats up.  I was told I now have to log out, open MRR back up again, click on the Digital Archives, and then log back in.

Seems like the long way around the barn, but what do I know!

Mike.

EDIT:  Now thats not even working.  Confused

EDIT:  OK, I had to log out, and close the browser, then open MR, click on the Digital Archives, log in, and I'm in the Archives.  I can then go to the forums.
